NOTE: Although the espresso machine is on at the power outlet make sure that the espresso machine
power is 'OFF'.

the single and double espresso buttons briefly press the 'POWER' button. As the lights on the control
panel start to chase from left to right release the single and double espresso buttons.
NOTE: The lights on the control panel will continue to chase until the cleaning cycle is completed, this
will take approximately 10 minutes.
NOTE: During the cleaning cycle all other espresso machine operations will be locked until the cleaning
cycle is completed. Should the cleaning cycle be accidentally started it can be cancelled by
switching the power 'OFF' at the power outlet.
When the cleaning cycle is completed the lights on the control panel will stop chasing and the espresso
machine will beep 4 times. Following this, the lights above the 'POWER', 'MANUAL', single and double
espresso buttons will come on, indicating that the machine is ready to use.

machine.
