CLEANING
Cleaning The Steam Nozzle
Clean the steam nozzle each time after you have immersed it in the milk, otherwise
the inside of the nozzle becomes clogged and the milk deposits on the outside harden
and become difficult to remove. The froth attachment can be removed for cleaning
(See figure19). If clogging does occur, remove all milk particles using a sewing needle.
Immediately after you are done with frothing milk, wipe off the outside of the nozzle
with a wet cloth.
USE CAUTION: Hold the wet cloth very close to the tip of the nozzle and turn on the
steam control knob. Let the steam escape into the wet cloth for one or two seconds.
Any milk residue will then be flushed out. Then turn of the machine.
Cleaning The Drip Tray
The overflow grid can be cleaned by removing the grid (see figure 20).
CAUTION:
DO NOT try to open or disassemble the main body of the machine.
Decalcifying of The Espresso Machine
The espresso machine must be decalcified regularly. The frequency depends on the
hardness of your water and how often you use the espresso machine. Before
descaling, the brewing sieve on the brewing head MUST first be screwed off. (See
figure 21)
1. Remove all lime and coffee residues from the brewing sieve and the brewing
head. For ecological and health reasons, we recommend the exclusive use of
biological materials such as citric acid, which can be obtained from drugstores.
2. Dissolve 2 tablespoonfuls of citric acid in 10 fluid ounces of lukewarm water and
pour it into the boiler container. Put one receptacle under the brewing head and
another under the steam nozzle (Note: Do not use the filter holder during
decalcification).
3. Turn on the machine and the steam control knob, and wait until steam comes
out of the steam nozzle. Let steam run for approximately 30 seconds.
4. Then turn off the steam control knob and allow the descaling solution to pass
through the brewing head.
5. After each brewing cycle, switch off the appliance and allow the appliance to
cool down.
6. Repeat this operation once again.
7. Following this, allow 2 boiler containerfuls of clear water to run through the
system. Switch off the appliance. Allow the appliance to cool down. Insert the
brewing sieve into the brewing head again and screw tight.
