SOLAC CE4501 Mode D'emploi page 9

Open steam control (R) by turning counter-
•
clockwise.
Only steam will start to come out.
•
When you have enough, close the knob and
•
remove the container.
IMPORTANT
When you finish doing steam, you must re-
•
place the water used to make steam and at the
same time, recover the temperature (lower) to
make coffee.
To do this, with the steam knob open, click on
•
the coffee icon, which will activate the pump.
When water starts to flow through the steam
•
pipe, it means that it has recovered the coffee
temperature and the boiler has been filled. You
can close Steam knob.

CLEANING
a. Basic cleaning
Disconnect the appliance from the mains and
•
let it cool before undertaking any cleaning task.
Clean the equipment with a damp cloth with a
•
few drops of washingup liquid and then dry.
Do not use solvents, or products with an acid
•
or base pH such as bleach, or abrasive prod-
ucts, for cleaning the appliance.
Do not let water or any other liquid get into the
•
air vents to avoid damage to the inner parts of
the appliance.
Neither parts of this appliance are suitable for
•
cleaning in the dishwasher.
After washing, dry all the parts before fitting
•
them together and storing.
b. Cleaning the Frothing Wand (Fig 1)
CAUTION! The frothing wand, and frothing
•
sleeve may be VERY HOT.
It is recommended to purge and wipe the froth-
•
ing wand after steaming milk to prevent depos-
its of dirt and before turning off the machine.
To do this, pull the frothing sleeve down and
•
clean under warm running water.
Fill a cup with a bit of water, immerse the froth-
•
ing wand into the water.
Drain hot water through the pipe, following the
•
instructions "Obtaining hot water".
Use a cloth to dry the frothing wand and re-
•
place the frothing sleeve.
In case no steam comes out of the frothing
•
wand, hardened milk blocks its path. Carefully
use a needle to loosen the milk residue from
the opening of the frothing tip to remove any
blockage,
Once clean, rinse with running water from the
•
tap and reassemble it. Then steam again.
HOW TO DEAL WITH LIME SCALE INCRUS-
TATIONS:
For the appliance to work correctly it should be
•
kept free of lime scale or magnesium incrusta-
tions caused by the use of hard water.
To prevent this kind of problem, we recom-
•
mend the use of water with low lime or magne-
sium mineralisation.
However, if it is not possible to use the kind of
•
water recommended above, you should peri-
odically remove the lime scale from the appli-
ance:
Every 6 weeks if the water is "very hard".
Every 12 weeks if the water is "hard".
To do so, we recommend the use of the specif-
•
ic product Decal for this kind of machine, which
can be found in specialised shops and author-
ised technical services.
Homemade solutions are not recommended in
•
the descaling of this appliance, such as the use
of vinegar.
