Cleaning the Milk Tank/Frother
Remove the milk tank by holding the tank and
cover and pulling them away from the machine.
Remove the cover and any excess milk, rinse
out tank, then pour water into the tank. Replace
the cover, align the milk tank to the connector
on the side of the machine, and push to install.
Place a cup on the drip tray. Press MENU and
select the STEAM option. Select GO, then
START to initiate steaming. Press the STOP
option if your cup becomes full.
NOTE: If you are storing the milk container in
the refrigerator, you may clean the frothing
mechanism by ensuing there is no capsule in
the brew head, placing a cup on the drip tray,
and pressing once. The steam produced
during the brew cycle will clean the frothing
mechanism.
To remove the steam/frothing wand
Remove silver pin on the top by pulling upward.
Then, locate the ridges on either side of the
mechanism, gently squeeze, and pull toward
you. Once removed, run hot water through the
internal channels, or the tubing can be removed
and soaked in warm, soapy water. Replace
tubing and gently push frothing mechanism into
the housing. Gently squeeze either side of
mechanism to ensure it is engaged into the unit.
Replace silver pin by aligning the arrow on the
pin with the arrow on the unit housing.
NOTE: For optimal cleaning, we recommend
that you periodically disassemble all removable
parts, place them in warm, soapy water and
soak for at least 15 minutes. Rinse well, dry and
assemble the parts as per above instructions.
Descale
Mineral content in water varies from place to
place. Depending on the mineral content of
the water in your area, calcium deposits or
scale may build up in your machine. Though
scale is nontoxic, it can hinder performance.
Using descaling and decalcifying at the
same time will help maintain the heating
element and other parts that come into
contact with water. For optimal performance,
descale your machine once a month. It is
possible with heavy use and/or hard water for
calcium to build up faster, making it necessary
to descale more often.
Indications that it is time to decalcify:
• Longer brewing times
• Excessive steaming
• Lower coffee temperature
• Brews less than a full cup
Descaling Your Machine
The LCD will read DESCALE when it is time for
you to clean.
1. Place a 20 oz. cup or container on the
cup tray.
2. Fill the water tank with 8 oz. of water and
8 oz. vinegar.
NOTE: You can also use a commercial
descaling solution.
3. Press twice to run solution through unit.
Continue to initiate brew cycle until the
water reservoir is empty.
4. Fill the water tank with bottled or filtered
water (no vinegar) and repeat through step
3 twice to clean the unit.
MAINTENANCE: Any other servicing should
be performed by an authorized service
representative.
