Keeping it clean:
1 IMPORTANT: the steam nozzle should
be cleaned after each use in order to avoid
build up of milk deposits that are very difficult
to clean. Cleaning is made easy as can be
seen in the DESCRIPTION OF PARTS. The
outer part of nozzle can be removed by
pulling downward.
The outside of the steam pipe can be cleaned
with a damp cloth.
The steam jet is cleaned by running a shot
of steam through it.
The hole in the steam nozzle must be kept
open. A needle may be used.
2 Clean filter holder and filter in warm water
after use.
3 Wipe body of machine with a damp cloth
as required.
4 Remove basin and grid (12, 23) and rinse
with water. Do not use abrasive substan-
ces.
5 Clean the seal (15) inside of the brewing
head (14) and keep it clean.

machine to emit steam and drip occasionally
as the water pressure changes during use.

Descaling:
In hard water areas, minerals found in the water
will accumulate and affect operation of the unit.

depending on use and water condition), clean
the machine with Gaggia descaler (in which
case follow the instructions on the packet).
Remove shower disc (17) and clean.
Dilute the solution before pouring it into the tank.
Pour the solution into the coffee dispensing group
and into the steam nozzle for a few seconds.
Wait 20 minutes, then repeat. process until
solution has been run through. Rinse machine
thoroughly by running plain cold water through
machine. Replace shower disc (17).
NOTE: Product failure due to scale accumu-
lation is not covered by warranty. No other
servicing should be attempted by the user. Use
