Descaling
If you live in a hard-water area, minerals and calcium found in the water
will accumulate and affect the operation of your machine.
Approximately every six months (this can vary depending on water
conditions and frequency of use), your espresso/cappuccino maker
should be cleaned with distilled vinegar in the following manner in
order to remove the mineral deposits, also referred to as scale.
1. Before cleaning your espresso/cappuccino maker, make sure the
function knob is in the “OFF” position and the appliance has
been disconnected from the wall outlet.
2. Fill the carafe with distilled vinegar and pour into the reservoir as
you would with water.
3. Securely fasten the safety lid.
4. Attach empty coffee filter basket and holder.
5. Place carafe onto drip plate.
6. Plug the espresso/cappuccino maker into 120V AC electrical
outlet.
7. Turn function knob to “BREW.” In a few minutes, the hot vinegar
will start to flow through the coffee basket into the carafe.
