clean the filters thoroughly using hot water and
scrubbing them with an abrasive pad.
SCALE REMOVAL
It is recommended that the appliance be descaled after
every 200 cups of coffee, approximately. It is
recommended that specific products for descaling of
espresso coffee makers be used. These products are
usually available in retail stores. If such products are
not available, the following steps may be taken:
1. Fill the tank with 1 litre of water.
2. Dissolve 2 dessert spoons (about 30 grams) of citric
acid (available in pharmacies) in the water.
3. Press the "On/off" switch and wait until the "OK"
pilot light comes on.
4. Make sure that the filter holder is not attached and
position a container under the drip spout of the
appliance.
5. Press the coffee delivery switch, empty half of the
tank and, from time to time, rotate the steam knob
and allow a little of the solution to come out. Then
stop the flow by pressing the switch again.
6. Allow the solution to sit for about 15 minutes, then
start up the delivery again until the tank is
completely empty.
7. To eliminate residues of the solution and scale, rinse
the tank well, fill it with clean water and insert it
back into its seat. Press the coffee delivery switch
and let the appliance operate until the tank is
completely empty.;
8. Press the switch again and repeat this last
operation one more time.
Repairs to the appliance that are necessitated by scale
problems will not be covered by the guarantee unless
the scale removal described above has been carried
out on a regular basis.
