TO AVOID POSSIBLE BURNS FROM HOT STEAM AND WATER, NEVER OPEN
THE WATER TANK CAP WHILE THERE IS PRESSURE IN THE WATER TANK.
REMOVE ALL PRESSURE FIRST. 15
DECALCIFYING
Hard water can cause limestone build up in
and on the inner functioning components,
reducing the brewing flow, power of the
appliance, and affecting the quality of coffee.
We advise decalcifying the appliance on a
regular basis (once a month) using a liquid
decalcifying agent. Follow the instructions
provided or use the following as a guide:
Diluted solution (for softer water)
• 1 part decalcifying agent
• 2 parts cold tap water
Concentrated solution (for harder water)
• 1 part decalcifying agent
• 1 part cold tap water
Decalcifying the appliance
• Ensure the Selector Control is in the
‘STANDBY’ position, the appliance is
switched off at the power outlet and that
the plug is disconnected.
• Ensure the appliance is cool and all
steam pressure in the appliance has been
released.
• Remove the stainless steel filter from the
filter holder and place the filter holder
back in position.
• Place an empty cup on the drip tray,
under the filter holder.
• Remove the water tank cap and pour in
the decalcifying solution.
• Screw the water tank cap back on (make
sure the cap is on tight).
• Plug the appliance into the power outlet
and turn the power switch on.
• Turn the Selector Control to the ‘BREW’
position and allow the decalcifying
solution to run through the filter holder.
• When the solution has run through the
appliance (make sure that all the solution
has run out and there is no steam
pressure in the appliance), turn the
Selector Control to the ‘STANDBY’
position, switch off at the power outlet
and remove the plug and allow the
appliance to cool.
• After decalcifying, rinse the water tank
thoroughly and refill with cold tap water.
• Repeat the above procedures several
times by running clear the water through
the filter holder and through the steam
nozzle (half each). This should remove
any possible residual after taste left by
decalcifying agent.
• Replace the stainless steel filter and the
appliance is ready to use.
