Make sure you delime the inside of the water tank first by following step 5 under the
“Deliming” section on the bottom of page 9.
Make sure all controls are OFF, the power cord is disconnected from the electrical
outlet, the machine is cool and all pressure in the machine has been released (see
section
“CAUTION: PRESSURE”
on page 3). Remove the boiler cap and pour
8 ounces of fresh undiluted white household vinegar into the water tank.
Screw the boiler cap back on top of the water tank. Make sure the cap is on tight.
Insert the filter holder into the brew head and place the glass carafe with lid on the
drip tray.
Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
Place a cup with cold water under the frothing tube. Turn the selector control knob
to the “cup” position. When vinegar begins to flow into the carafe, insert the frothing
tube and frothing aid into the water and slowly turn the selector control knob to the
“steam” position. After a few seconds
turn
the
selector control knob to the OFF position.
This will clean any residue left in the frothing tube from frothing milk.
Turn the selector control knob to the “cup” position. When all the vinegar has been
pumped into the carafe and the flow has stopped, turn the selector control knob to OFF
and allow the machine to cool.
Repeat steps 1
-
7 using only tap water to rinse any remaining traces of vinegar out
of the machine. Repeat this rinsing process twice, allowing the machine to cool and
pressure to be released before each rinsing.
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the carafe. Coffee discolors these
deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the carafe. To remove these stains,
follow these simple steps:
1.
Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
2.
Let solution stand in carafe for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3.
Wash and rinse the carafe thoroughly using a soft
cloth.
Do not use harsh abrasive
cleaners. These may cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
