10. MAKING HOT WATER FOR TEA or OTHER HOT BEVERAGES
You can use the machine to make approx. 8 oz. of hot tea or to prepare instant
soup. Fill the boiler with up to 8 oz. of water. Insert the filter holder into the machine
without the filter basket and turn the filter holder to the right until it is locked in
place. Close the boiler cap. Make sure the coffee/steam selector is turned to the
cup symbol.
For tea: place one tea bag in the glass carafe.
Hot instant soup: pour the dry ingredients of the instant soup into the glass carafe.
Place the glass carafe with its lid underneath the filter holder.
Turn the machine on and let all the water process through the filter holder into the
carafe. When no more water comes out of the filter, turn the machine off, remove
the carafe and serve.
11. CLEANING
• Always unplug the machine before cleaning.
• Never use scouring agents.
• Wait until machine has cooled down.
• Never immerse the machine in water or any other liquid. Never hold the machine
under running water. To clean, simply wipe off with a soft, damp cloth.
• Clean the filter basket, the filter holder, and the glass carafe in a hot water/
mild soap solution. For your convenience, the filter holder, filter basket, and
glass carafe can be put in the dishwasher's upper level, away from any heating
element. Make sure the holes in the filter basket are free of old coffee deposits.
• Remove the tray cover and drip tray and clean with hot water/mild soap
solution. Replace the tray cover and drip tray and make sure the drip tray is
locked in place.
• Wipe the inner screen with a wet cloth (fig. 15). The screen is located above the
filter holder area.
CLEANING THE FROTHER NOZZLE
Wait until the machine has cooled down. The metal frother pipe may still be hot.
Pull the frother nozzle off and thoroughly rinse under warm water. Make sure the
nozzle is free of any milk deposits. Replace the frother nozzle. Make sure it is firmly
pushed up the frother tube.
12. DECALCIFYING
We recommend decalcifying the machine every 3 months or more frequently if you
use hard water with this product. Remove the nozzle from the steam pipe. Fill the
glass carafe with 2 oz. of white vinegar and 6 oz. of cold water and pour into the
boiler. Close the boiler cap. Insert the filter holder with the basket into the machine
and lock the filter holder. Place the glass carafe without the lid under the filter holder
on the drip tray. Place an empty cup under the steam pipe. Make sure the coffee/
steam selector points to the cup symbol and the steam knob is closed. Turn the
machine on and let the solution pass through the filter holder into the machine.
With the carafe about ¾-filled with solution (6 oz.), slide the coffee/steam selector
to the steam symbol. Slowly turn the steam knob to pass the solution through the
steam pipe and into the empty cup. Once steaming has stopped, close the steam
knob, slide the coffee/steam selector to the cup symbol and turn the machine off.
Remove and empty the carafe and cup. Allow machine to cool for about five minutes
and open and remove the boiler cap. Repeat above process once or twice with only
