CLEANING AND CARE
Cleaning the espresso machine
1. Turn o the espresso machine and let it cool down.
2. Use a clean damp cloth to clean the stainless steel surface.
Note: Do not use scouring pads, alcohol or solvents. Do not immerse the device
in water.
3. Clean the outlet and the sealing ring under the brewing unit with a
professional cleaning brush.
4. Loosen the portalter by turning it anti-clockwise and remove the coee
grounds from the lter screen. You can then clean the portalter and lter
screen with detergent and rinse with clear water.
5. Rinse all device attachments in clear water and dry them thoroughly.
6. Clean the drip tray and detachable drip tray regularly and then dry them.
7. Clean the water tank regularly.
Descaling the espresso machine
1. Limescale builds up in the espresso machine over time, so you should descale
the device every 2-3 months.
2. Pour water and descaler (4:1 ratio) into the water tank up to the MAX level.
Follow the descaler's instructions. Use a suitable descaler for coee machines
or, as a substitute for a descaler, use a mixture of water and citric acid (in a
ratio of 100:3).
3. Insert the portalter (without ground coee) into the brewing unit as
described in the section "Preparing a (double) espresso coee".
4. When the “single cup” and “double cup” indicator lights are on solid, press
the single cup button or the double cup button and drain about 150 ml of
descaling solution. Press the single cup button or double cup button again to
stop dispensing. Press the steam/preheat button. When the steam indicator
light is solid, turn the steam control knob anti-clockwise to release steam for
approximately 2 minutes. Then turn the steam knob clockwise again and let
the descaler work in the espresso machine for at least 15 minutes to loosen all
limescale deposits.
5. Repeat step 4 three times.
6. Press the single cup button or double cup button to drain the descaler
solution until there is no descaler left in the espresso machine.
7. Follow the steps of making coee (without coee powder) and repeat step
4 three times without waiting 15 minutes until there is no more water in the
water tank.
8. Repeat step 7 at least 3 times to ensure the espresso machine piping is
thoroughly cleaned.
