Clean the tank regularly.

Descaling the Machine
For the appliance to work correctly it should be kept
free of limescale or magnesium deposits caused by
using hard water. To prevent this kind of problem, we
recommend using purified or bottled water. If minerals
do build up, the machine will alert you that descaling is

needed by turning on the three lights (no flashing) and
beeping. When this happens, simply:
1. Add a descaling agent (1 oz citric acid and 33 oz of
water) to the tank and place a vessel beneath the
milk frother.
2. Press and hold the steam button for at least 5
seconds until all of the three indicator lights flash in
turn.
3. Then, open hot water/steam knob to the ON
position and press the steam button again.
4. The machine will begin the descaling process. This
process takes about 5 minutes, though the actual
length of time may depend on the hardness of the
water that you typically use.
NOTE: During the descaling process, if the coffee outlet
requires cleaning, you can switch off the steam knob
and allow the water to flow out from the coffee outlet.
After the descaling process, take out the tank and rinse
it with clean water. Then, fill the tank to the maximum
level with clean water. Clean the machine with the scale
removal function enabled. When the water runs out, the
scale removal process is complete, and the machine is
ready for normal use.
