Keep Warm Function

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 filtered 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 decalcification agent, carefully follow the quantities recommended in the instructions of the agent.

How to de-scale:

To make sure your coffee machine can operate efficiently 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.
Follow the steps as detailed in `Pre-heating’ above.
Press the On/Off Button( ) to turn on the unit, the Power Indicator(F) (red) will be illuminated, press the Coffee Button(B) , make sure the Steam Button( ) is in the off position, when there is water flowing out, shut off the water pump by pressing the Coffee Button(B) again, and wait for a moment. The coffee machine will begin to heat.
The green Coffee Indicator light (E) will illuminate to show when heating has finished.
Press down the Coffee Button( ) and allow water to flow through, then shut off the water pump and wait for 5 seconds.
Press the Steam Button( ) , and wait until the green Steam Indicator light (D) illuminates. 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 for at least 15 minutes.
Empty the tank and refill with clean water. Restart the unit and repeat the above steps at least 3 times with clean water.

Care and Cleaning

Always Switch off and unplug the appliance before cleaning.

Empty any water that may be inside the coffee machine by turning on the steam function for approximately 2-3 minutes, or until steam no longer comes from the Steam Nozzle.
Unplug from the mains and allow coffee machine cool down completely before cleaning.
Clean housing of coffee machine with damp cloth and clean water tank.
Wash the drip tray and removable drip tray plate regularly, then dry thoroughly.
Never immerse the housing in water for cleaning.
Immediately remove the plastic funnel over the steam nozzle by turning it gently after use, wash in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
Clean the metal tube with a damp cloth, dry and replace the plastic funnel.
Wash the measuring spoon with tamper in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.

Note: Clean the appliance after every use in order to keep it in good working order.
