DESCALING CYCLE - ESPRESSO MACHINE
After continued use, your Espresso
Machine may develop a build-up of mineral
deposits and therefore require occasional
descaling.
We recommend descaling your Espresso
Machine every 4-6 months, although this
period will depend on the hardness of
water and frequency of use.
Descaling Solution
You have 2 options:
A. Espresso Machine Descaling Tablets.
or
B. White vinegar & warm water.
Descaling Cycle
The Descaling Cycle takes approximately
10 minutes to complete.
Important: If the Descaling Cycle is not
completed or stopped part way through
any of the Descaling Steps, then you will
need to start the Descaling Cycle again
from the beginning.
