Wash out all three parts in warm water. If
the small suction orifice in part A is clogged,
it can be freed by poking a fine needle
through the blockage.
If the appliance is not to be used for a
lengthy period, do not insert the filter carrier
into the brewing head, as this causes the
sealing ring to be compressed
unnecessarily long and can thus impair its
useful life.
The measuring spoon and one filter sieve
can be stored in the depressions under the
lid.
Before a lengthy period of non-usage, the
heating system can be cleared of water by
driving it off as steam. Put a vessel under
the steam/hot water nozzle. Move the
espresso to the
I position and turn the valve
knob to the position. As soon as no
more steam is generated, turn the valve
knob to and move the espresso switch to
the position.
Removal of limescale
The machine must have limescale removed
regularly. For an average usage of 4 cups
daily and hard water, we recommend
descaling the appliance every 3 months.
Before descaling, the brewing sieve on the
brewing head MUST first be screwed off.
1. Remove all lime and coffee residues from
the brewing sieve and the brewing head.
2. Pull off the frothing aid.
3. Dissolve 2 tablespoonfuls of tartaric acid
or citric acid (both obtainable from
chemists and drugstores) in 1/2 litre of
lukewarm water and pour it into the
water container. Put one receptacle
under the brewing head and another
under the steam nozzle.
4. Set the espresso switch to the I position.
After the heating lamp ceases to glow,
move the espresso switch to the
position. Make sure that the valve knob
points to the position.
5. Allow the descaling solution to pass
through until about half has run out of
the brewing head.
6. Return the espresso switch to the I
position.
7. Turn the valve knob to the position
and move the espresso switch to the
position. Allow 1 cup of descaling
solution to run through. Then return the
espresso switch to
I and the valve knob
to the position.
Now leave the rest of descaling solution to
work for 10-15 minutes.
8. Move the espresso switch to the
position and allow the remainder of the
descaling solution to run through.
9. Return the espresso switch to the I
position.
Following this, allow 2 water containerfuls
of clear water to run through with the
espresso switch at the position.
After that is done, fill the water container
again.
Move the espresso switch to position
and the valve knob to the position and
allow the water run through.
Switch off the appliance by moving the
espresso switch to the position and
turning the valve knob to the position.
Allow the appliance to cool down.
Insert the brewing sieve into the brewing
head again and push the frothing aid onto
the steam/hot water nozzle.
Problems and Possible
Causes
PROBLEM:
Espresso leaking from the filter carrier.
CAUSE:
■ Filter holder not correctly inserted.
■ Filter holder has been left in the hot water
spout too long; clean the seal well.
■
No elasticity in the seal, it must be
replaced.
