in your area and how oen the espresso maker is used. As a guide, you should

descale your machine every 30 days.

Citric acid made for descaling coee makers can be used, using the following

procedure:

 Pour the descaling soluon into the water container.

 Follow the ‘Brewing Espresso’ secon on page 10 (without coee in the

porta lter), switch the appliance on and run through each funcon. Allow 5

minutes between the use of each funcon.

 Aer descaling, ll the water container with clean water and let the water

run through each cycle unl the container is empty.

 Rinse the porta lter with warm water.

Descaler can be purchased from all good supermarkets.

You can also descale your appliance using a mixture of dislled white vinegar and

one part water.

To do that, follow the instrucons below:

1. Mix one part water with one part dislled white vinegar.

2. Run the soluon through the machine once, but make sure to remove any

coee rst. Once the soluon has run through, discard.
