CLEAN & DESCALE CYCLE
The Bambino Espresso machine requires
regular cleaning and descaling.
When this is due, the 2 Cup button will
continuously flash, indicating the machine
needs cleaning and descaling.
NOTE
Pressing any of buttons will cancel the alert
and return the machine to ready mode.
WARNING
It is NOT recommended to ignore the clean
cycle warning because 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.
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.
