Descaling your machine
Fill the water tank with water and then add the descaling agent in
that order. Swing the swing-out filter back into the appliance. Place
the carafe (with lid tightly screwed) onto the base (Figure 1/J).
Please note that the lid serves to open the anti-drip valve, and is
required to ensure that the water flows through correctly. Allow the
descaling solution to take effect for about 15 minutes, then switch
on the machine and allow the descaling solution to run through.
Empty carafe. If necessary repeat the descaling procedure.
Remove the steam nozzle by turning it counter-clockwise. Screw
on the descaling hose (Figure 2/F) and place a cup underneath.
Switch on the steam selector several times for one minute. Switch
off the appliance. If necessary repeat the descaling procedure.
Rinse out the water tank with clear water to remove any possible
traces of descaling solution.
Wait 5 minutes and then repeat the run-through process at least
twice using clear water. Empty carafe after each run-through.
Rinse the carafe, lid and filter liner thoroughly under running water.
Repeatedly squeeze the anti-drip valve while rinsing.
Switch on the steam selector and allow clear water to flow through
the steam system again to clean it. Remove the descaling hose
and replace the steam nozzle.
Cleaning
Unplug from outlet. Clean all parts that come into contact with milk
(frothed milk spout, pitcher, including lid and feed pipe, flexible
hose, drip tray and drip grid) in warm, sudsy water immediately
after each use. Dry the parts. Do not clean them in a dishwasher
as this could damage the seals.
The filter liner can be removed for cleaning. Press button on top of
machine (Figure 1N) and swing filter out to the right as far as it will
go. The inner liner can then be removed (Figure 7). You should
repeatedly press the anti-drip valve during cleaning, especially to
remove all particles of coffee. Wipe the machine with a damp
cloth, but never immerse in water! Wash out the carafe and lid
with hot, sudsy water, using a brush if necessary. Rinse and dry it
with a cloth. Do not clean it in a dishwasher.
What to do if . . .
only steam but no frothed milk is produced:
- Attach the pitcher or flexible hose correctly.
- Put the frothed milk spout together correctly and firmly.
