Care & Cleaning

CLEANING CYCLE

The machine will detect when 200 extractions
have been carried out since the last cleaning
cycle; this will be shown by the 1 CUP and 2
CUP buttons alternately flashing. This indicates
that the group head needs cleaning. This is a
flushing cycle and is separate from descaling.
To bypass the cleaning cycle; press the STEAM
button. The machine will go back to ready
mode, but will display cleaning alert again the
next time that the machine is turned on.

8. Once the cycle is complete the machine will

disc, drip tray and container.

DESCALING

After regular use, hard water can cause mineral
build up in and on many of the inner functioning
components, reducing the brewing flow, brewing
temperature, power of the machine, and the taste
of the espresso.
The machine will indicate that it requires
descaling when the 1 CUP and STEAM button
and the 2 CUP button flash alternately for 15
seconds. Pressing any of these buttons will
cancel the alert and return the machine
to ready mode.
WARNING
Do not immerse the power cord, power plug
or appliance in water or any other liquid.
The water tank should never be removed or
completely emptied during descaling.
