reservoir

These conditions are caused by lime or other mineral deposits.

TO CLEAN MINERAL DEPOSITS FROM YOUR COFFEEMAKER

1. Pour four cups of undiluted white household vinegar into the water reservoir.

2. Place a paper ﬁlter or permanent ﬁlter into the removable ﬁlter basket and close the

brew basket lid.

3. Place the empty carafe on the warming plate. Make sure to center the carafe

accurately on the warming plate to avoid the possibility of overﬂow.

a. Press the ON button.

b. When three cups of vinegar have ﬂowed into the carafe, turn the Coffeemaker off

and let the vinegar stand for 30 minutes.

c. After 30 minutes, pour the vinegar from the carafe back into the coffeemaker

reservoir and place the empty carafe back on the warming plate.

d. Turn the coffeemaker back on to let all of the vinegar ﬂow through.

e. When the brew cycle is complete, turn the coffeemaker off and discard both the

vinegar and the paper ﬁlter.

4. To ﬂush out all traces of vinegar from the unit, brew 10 cups of water in the unit. Do

not use coffee grounds but DO use a ﬁlter in the brew basket. Repeat the process as

necessary.

How frequently you clean your machine depends upon the hardness of your tap water.

The following table gives suggested cleaning intervals.

SUGGESTED CLEANING INTERVAL

Type of Water Cleaning Frequency

Soft Water (Filtered Water) Every 80 Brew Cycles

Hard Water (Tap Water) Every 40 Brew Cycles

CLEANING YOUR ESPRESSO MACHINE

1. Turn the unit to Off and unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

2. The frothing tube may still be hot, do not touch it with your hands until it has cooled.

Remove frothing aid and wipe frothing tube with a damp cloth. Using the wrench built

into the measuring spoon, unscrew the frothing aid and clean valve with a needle or

toothpick.

3. The carafe , carafe lid, ﬁlter, brew basket and drip tray can be washed with soapy

water or placed on the top rack only of your dishwasher. CAUTION: Do not immerse

appliance in water. Do not remove reservoir cap or brew basket while appliance is

under pressure.

4. After the pressure has been released, remove reservoir cap. Discard the remaining

water through the top opening of the water reservoir by turning the appliance upside

down over the sink. Always empty the water reservoir of any water between uses. Do

not immerse appliance in water. Screw the reservoir cap back in place.

5. Wipe housing with a soft wet cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as

they will scratch the ﬁnish.

TO DELIME INTERNAL PARTS

1. Make sure all controls are OFF, the power cord is disconnected from the electrical

outlet, the appliance is cool and all pressure in the espresso machine has been

released. Pour 10 ounces of fresh undiluted white household vinegar into the water

reservoir.

2. Screw the cap back on top of the espresso water reservoir. Make sure the cap is

on tight.

4. Insert the ﬁlter into the brew basket and place it in its locked position on the

appliance. Center the carafe under the brew basket nozzle. Insert the glass carafe

in place with lid on the drip tray.

5. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.

6. Turn the power switch on and allow the vinegar ﬂow to begin until all the vinegar has

been pumped into the carafe and the ﬂow has stopped, turn the control knob to Off

and allow the appliance to cool.

the machine. Repeat this rinsing process, allowing the machine to cool and pressure to

be released before each rinsing.

CLEANING THE CARAFES

Hard water can leave a whitish stain on the carafe. Coffee and tea may then turn the

stain brown.

TO REMOVE CARAFE STAINS:

1. Fill each carafe with a solution of equal parts tap water and vinegar and let the solution

stand in the carafe for approximately 20 minutes.

2. Discard the solution and wash and rinse the carafe.

Do not use harsh abrasive cleansers that may scratch the carafe; scratches may cause the

carafe to break.
