∙ The gasket area around the boiler outlet
(at the bayonet locking socket) should be
cleaned using a brush. A hard brush is
recommended.

container daily and clean it in hot soapy
water at regular intervals.
Descaling
Depending on the water quality (lime content)
in your area as well as the frequency of use,
all thermal household appliances using hot
water need descaling (i.e. removal of lime
deposits) on a regular basis to warrant proper
functioning. Any warranty claim will be null
and void if the appliance malfunctions
because of insuffi cient descaling.
For descaling, any commercially available
descaling agent for coffee makers may be
used.
∙ Pour the descaling solution into the water
container.
∙ Proceed as described in the section
Making espresso, but without any
ground espresso and no fi lter sieve fi tted;
switch the appliance on and let it run, cup
for cup, through the fi ltration cycles. Allow
5 minutes between each cycle for the
descaling agent to take effect.
∙ To clean the appliance after descaling, fi ll
the water container twice with clean water
and let each fi lling run through its fi ltration
cycles until the container is nearly empty.
∙ Rinse the fi lter holder thoroughly with
warm water.
∙ Do not pour descalers down enamelled
sinks.
