When deliming, it is essential, first to unscrew the. brew sieve from the brew
head with the aid of
a coin. (See page 10 “Cleaning the brew head”).
First fill about 18 ounces of vinegar into the water reservoir. Place a suffi-
c i e n t l y l a r g e c o n t a i n e r i n t h e m i d d l e
the vinegar to run through the
were making espresso. Switch the
gar to work in for 10 to 15 minutes, Then run the rest of it through the sys
tem. It may be necessary to repeat the deliming if the lime deposits are
heavy. After the last cycle. run one or two water reservoirs of fresh cold
water through the system to prevent the vinegar from having any effects on
the flavor of the espresso. Then fit the brewing sieve back into the brewing
head. (see page 10 “Cleaning the brew head”).
A D D I T I O N A L HELPF U L H I N T S:
If the first cup of espresso is not hot enough for your taste, we recommend
that you proceed as follows:
the machine, wait until the yellow brawready tight turns off. Place a
u n d e r n e a t h the filter holder and pump approximately 1/2 cup of water
through the system. The yellow. brew ready light will go on again. From now
on you will have. maximum temperature for espresso since all parts are pre-
warmed.
Filter holder:
Leave the filter holder (without filter) in the machine to, keep it warm.
Warm up espresso cups before using:
To prepare a perfect cup of espresso or cappuccino, warm up the demitasse
cups before brewing the espresso by rinsing them with warm water.
