Obtaining steam:
- The steam is used to foam milk for
cappuccino, and also to heat other
liquids.
- Turn the appliance on using the on/
off switch.

indicating that the water is heating to
produce steam.
- Wait until the coffee release pilot
light comes on, indicating that the

te temperature.

Cleaning
- Disconnect the appliance from the

king any cleaning task.
- Clean the equipment with a damp
cloth with a few drops of washing-up
liquid and then dry.
- Do not use solvents, or products
with an acid or base pH such as blea-

How to deal with lime scale incrusta-
tions:
- For the appliance to work correctly
it should be kept free of lime scale or
magnesium incrustations caused by
the use of hard water.
- To avoid this type of problema, the
use of distilled water is recommen-
ded.
- To prevent this kind of problem, we
recommend the use of water with low
lime or magnesium mineralisation.
- However, if it is not possible to
use the kind of water recommended
above, you should periodically remove
the lime scale from the appliance:
- 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 specific product Taurus Decal,
which can be found in specialised
shops and authorised technical
services.
- A specific anti-lime scale product
should be used on this kind of
product.
- Homemade solutions are not re-
commended in the de-scaling of this
appliance, such as the use of vinegar.
