DELIMING
Mineral deposits built-up in the Espresso Maker will affect the operation of the appliance.
Your Espresso Maker must be delimed when you begin to notice an increase in the time
required to brew espresso, or when there is excessive steaming. Also, you may notice a
build-up of white deposits on the surface of the brew head.
The frequency of cleaning depends upon the hardness of the water used. The following
table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.
