ROUTINE CLEANING CONT.
Deep Cleaning the Espresso Filters
Make sure to deep clean your espresso filters every 90 days for optimal brewing
performance. Follow these disassembly instructions and rinse the pieces in a large
bowl of warm water. Once rinsed thoroughly, wipe dry and reassemble.

Emptying the Drip Tray
1. When the water level indicator rises above the drip tray cover, carefully
slide the drip tray out from the coffeemaker, remove the drip tray cover,
and discard the water.
2. Place the drip tray cover back on the drip tray and slide it into the
coffeemaker.
DESCALING
After continued use, your coffeemaker may develop a build-up of mineral
deposits, and therefore require occasional descaling. We recommend
descaling your coffeemaker every 4-6 months, although this period will
depend on the hardness of water and frequency of use.
IMPORTANT: If the descaling process is not completed or stopped part
way through any of the descaling steps, you will need to start the descaling
process again from the beginning.
Descaling: Coffeemaker
1. In an empty water tank, add 1 1/2 tablespoons of white vinegar and 4
cups of water. Allow the solution to mix thoroughly.
2. Place the water tank into position.
3. Insert the brew basket into the coffeemaker without coffee in it.
4. Place the coffee pot on the drip tray cover.
5. Turn ON the coffeemaker.
6. Turn the knob to the "brew" position.
7. Press the clean button. During the descaling process the clean indicator
light will be on.
NOTE: When the descaling process is complete, the clean indicator light
will turn off and the ready indicator light will illuminate.
8. When the clean indicator light turns off, discard the water in the coffee
pot.
9. Repeat steps 1-8 using clean water without vinegar.
10. Rinse the water tank, brew basket, brew basket lid, and coffee pot with
warm water and mild liquid soap.
