De-scaling your Espresso Coffee
Machine
When tap water is heated, calcium and other
mineral deposits attach themselves to the inside
of your coffee machine. Excessive limescale
build up will damage the coffee machine,
the steam tube is particularly vulnerable to
blockage and should be cleaned regularly. We
recommend using bottled water or ltered water.
If you cannot do this and use water straight
form the tap, then it is necessary to de-scale the
coffee machine regularly. Do no use vinegar but
a commercially available decalcication agent,
carefully follow the quantities recommended in
the instructions of the agent.
How to de-scale:
To make sure your coffee machine can operate
efciently the internal piping must be cleaned.
You should clean away the mineral deposits left
every 4 weeks - if you live in a hard water area
every 2 weeks. Better still, just use bottled water
and none of this will be necessary.
• Fill the Water Tank (7) with water and
de-scaler to the ‘MAX’ level.

off the water pump by pressing the Coffee
Button(B) again, and wait for a moment. The
coffee machine will begin to heat.

illuminate to show when heating has nished.
• Press down the Coffee Button( ) and allow
water to ow through, then shut off the water
pump and wait for 5 seconds.

Make steam for 2 minutes, then turn the
Steam Control Knob (2) to the ‘0’ position to
stop making steam.
• Press the On/Off Button( ) to turn off the unit
immediately, leave the de-scaler in the unit
