Make sure to use the Filter Retainer Clip when discarding the grounds. The metal parts of the
Filter Holder might still be very hot. Cool these parts by running under cold water. (See Pic. 1)

Retainer Clip to hold the Filter in place while emptying.

Frothing Tip and clean valve with a needle or toothpick. (See Pic. 2)
3. The Glass Carafe, Glass Carafe Lid, Filter, Filter Holder
and Drip Tray can be washed with soapy water.
4. Wipe housing with a soft wet cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners
or scouring pads as they will scratch the finish.

DELIMING

Mineral deposits built-up in the Espresso Maker will affect the operation of the appliance. Your
Espresso Maker must be delimed when you begin to notice an increase in the time to brew
espresso, or when there is excessive steaming. Also, you may notice a build up of white deposits
on the surface of the brew head. The frequency of cleaning depends upon the hardness of the water
used. The following table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.

TO DELIME WATER RESERVOIR

fill Reservoir with fresh, undiluted white household vinegar.
3. Allow appliance to sit overnight with the vinegar solution in the Water Reservoir.

5. Rinse the Water Reservoir thoroughly with tap water by filling tank half full with water and then

:
TO DELIME INTERNAL PARTS
1. Make sure you delime the inside of the Water Reservoir first by following the "Deliming" steps
above.
2. Fill Glass Carafe to 4 cup mark with fresh, undiluted white household vinegar to the top of the
metal band and pour into Water Reservoir.
3. Screw the Water Reservoir Cap and make sure the Cap is on tight.
4. Insert the Filter Holder (with Filter) in its groove and turn handle to the right until it shifts to
Position. Place the Glass Carafe with lid on the Drip Tray.
5. Plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
6. Turn the Control Knob to the
position.
7. When vinegar reaches the 2 cup mark on the Glass Carafe, place a cup with cold water under the
Frothing Aid. Insert the Frothing Arm into the water and slowly turn the control knob to the
position.
8. Allow steam to fully run out.
9. Turn Control Knob to the OFF position.
Repeat Steps 1 – 7 as necessary using only tap water to rinse any remaining traces of vinegar out of
the appliance. Allow unit to cool for 30 minutes between each rinse cycle.
CARAFE CLEANING
Hard water can leave a whitish mineral deposit inside the Glass Carafe. Coffee discolors these
deposits, sometimes leaving a brownish stain inside the Carafe. To remove these stains, follow
these simple steps:
1. Use a solution of equal parts white vinegar and hot water.
2. Let solution stand in carafe for about 20 minutes and then discard.
3. Wash and rinse the carafe thoroughly using a soft cloth. Do not use harsh abrasive cleaners.
These may cause scratches which can lead to breakage.
