• Once clean, all elements must be replaced correctly. In particu-
lar, make sure the rubber mixer is inserted completely and that
the red frother is pushed in fully until it clicks into place.
If you do not clean the tube after use, milk frothing may not be
successful, the milk may not be sucked up or milk may drip
from the milk tube.
Descaling
It is advisable to clean the calcium from the machine every 200
cups of coffee. It is recommended to use specific (store bought)
products for descaling of espresso coffee machines.
If such products are not available, the following method is recom-
mended.
1. First clean the coffee machine, turn off and unplug from the
mains.
2. Fill the carafe to the brim with water.
3. Dissolve 1 spoonful (about 10/15 g) of citric acid in the water.
4. Pour the solution into the boiler.
5. Replace the boiler cap and leave the solution to work for about
30 minutes.
6. Place the selector in the "LIGHT" position..
7. Check that the filter holder is not attached and place the carafe
without the lid on the drip tray under the boiler outlet.
8. Plug the appliance into the mains.
9. Turn the coffee machine on. After a few minutes, the hot solu-
tion will start to flow through the boiler outlet into the carafe.
10.Place the steam tube in a glass or cup. Open the steam knob
for a few seconds while the descaling solution flows through
the milk frother.This cleans all residue of milk from inside the
milk frother and the tube.
11.Close the steam knob (the descaling solution will continue to
flow into the carafe).
12.When the solution stops flowing into the carafe, turn off and
allow the machine to cool down.
Rinse the carafe, the milk frother and milk container with hot
water.
13.To remove traces of the solution, perform at least 2 coffee-
making cycles without coffee.
Failure to clean as described above invalidates the guarantee.
