discharge the water from the boiler by turning the steam
knob clockwise (25), and put the hot water/coffee switch
on “On”. Let a quantity of water equal to two cappuccino
cups come out of the frother. Close the steam knob (25)
and put the hot water/coffee and the steam switch on

8 NOTE: It is very normal for an espresso machine to emit
steam and drip occasionally as the water pressure changes
during use.
Be certain to empty drip tray (12) as required.
Descaling
Limescale normally builds up with the use of the appliance.
The machine needs descaling every 1-2 months (if used)
and/or whenever a reduction in water fl ow is noticed. Use
the GAGGIA descaling product only.
NOTE: In case of confl ict, priority must be given to what is
indicated in the operation and maintenance manual over
the instructions provided on separately sold accessories
and materials.
NOTE: Use the GAGGIA descaling
product only. Its formula has been
designed to ensure better machine
performance and operation for its
whole operating life. If correctly
used, it also avoids alterations in
the brewed product. The descal-
ing solution is to be disposed of
according to the manufacturer’s
instructions and/or regulations in
force in the country of use.
NOTE: Never drink the descaling solution or any products
dispensed until the cycle has fi nished. Never use vinegar
as a descaling solution.

Keeping it clean:
1 IMPORTANT: the steam nozzle should be cleaned after
each use in order to avoid build up of milk deposits that
are very diffi cult to clean. Cleaning is made easy as can
be seen in the DESCRIPTION OF PARTS. The outer part of
nozzle can be removed by pulling downward.
The outside of the steam pipe can be cleaned with a damp
cloth.
The steam jet is cleaned by running a shot of steam
through it.
The hole in the steam nozzle must be kept open. A needle
may be used.
2 Clean fi lter holder and fi lter in warm water after use.
3 Wipe body of machine with a damp cloth as required.

not use abrasive substances.

keep it clean.
