Cleaning Your Espresso/Cappuccino Maker

Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

Clean the frothing tube and frothing aid

immediately

after frothing milk by following the

section marked “CAUTION: PRESSURE” on page 3, relieving the pressure through the

frothing tube and aid. Wipe frothing tube and aid with a damp cloth. The frothing tube

may still be hot, do not touch it with your hands. If steam does not flow through the

frothing tube, the tube may be blocked with milk. After the machine has cooled,

clean

the frothing aid and tube with a needle if it is blocked.

The carafe, lid, filter holder, filter basket,

drip

tray and grid can be washed with soapy

water or placed on the top rack only of your dishwasher.

CAUTION: Do not immerse machine in water. Do not remove boiler cap while machine

is under pressure. See section “CAUTION: PRESSURE” on page 3.

After the pressure has been released, remove boiler cap. Discard the remaining water

through the top opening of the water tank by turning the machine upside down over the

sink. Do not immerse machine in water. Screw the boiler cap back in place.

Always empty the water tank of any water between uses.

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

they will scratch the finish.

Do not store the filter holder in the brew head. This can adversely affect the seal

between the brew head and the filter holder while brewing espresso.

Deliming

Mineral

deposits

built-up in the espresso maker will affect the operation of the machine. Your

espresso maker must be delimed when you begin to notice an increase in the time required

to brew espresso, or when there is excessive steaming. Also, you may notice a build up of

white deposits on the surface of the brew head.

The frequency of cleaning depends upon the hardness of the water used. The following

table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.

Your espresso maker may be delimed using white household vinegar, as follows:

delime

water tank:

Make sure the selector control knob is in the center OFF position and that the power

cord is disconnected from the electrical

outlet.

If the machine is cool and the pressure has been released (see section

“CAUTION: PRESSURE” on page

remove the boiler cap and pour

ounces of

fresh undiluted white household vinegar into the water tank.

Screw on the boiler cap and allow machine to sit overnight with the vinegar solution in

the water tank.

SLOWLY remove the boiler cap’and discard vinegar through the top opening of the

espresso maker by turning the machine upside down over the sink.

Rinse the water tank thoroughly with tap water by filling tank half full with water, and

then pouring the water back out into the sink, repeating this step twice.
