Drip tray: In order to clean the drip tray, remove the tray and the grid.
CAUTION: NEVER TRY TO OPEN OR TO DISASSEMBLE THE BODY OF THE APPLIANCE.
DESCALING
The expresso machine has to be descaled regularly. The frequency depends on the water
hardness and of the use frequency.
1. Remove the scale and the coffee residues from the filter grid and from the support of the
filter holder. It is recommended to use only liquid descaling agent that can be found in
shops and in the proportions indicated on the packing paper by the producer.
2. Place the container under the support of the filter holder and another one under the
steam pipe (9) (Caution: do not use the filter holder (12) during the descaling).
3. Press the ON Switch (5), turn the steam control knob (17) in the open position, and press
the expresso button . Wait until steam comes out the opening of the pipe (9).
4. After approximatively 30 seconds, stop the hot water flow by closing the steam control
knob (17) and let the descaling solution flow through the support of the filter holder in the
container.
5. When the solution has finished flowing, switch off the appliance and let it cool down.
6. Repeat this operation a second time.
Then proceed in the same way but this time only with fresh water to rinse the inner side of the
circuit. For a good rinsing, the equivalent of two expresso tanks has to pass through the circuit.
Switch off the appliance and remove the plug from the power supply. Let it cool down.
Attention: Never use vinegar as descaling agent.
Some recognizable signs indicate that descaling is necessary:
 Increase of the noise during boiling.
 A longer time of decoction cycle
For a regular use, the descaling has to be done in the following periodicity:
 With little bit hard water, once a year
 With middle hard water, once a trimester
 With hard water, once a month.
In case of doubt concerning the water quality, ask your local water company.
