CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Cleaning Used-Capsule Container Container holds approximately 12 capsules and some residual liquid after brewing. Dispose of used capsules, replace bin and continue to use as desired. Be sure to empty the container of any used capsules when prompted. Wash the container with warm, soapy water. Cleaning External Parts We recommend regular cleaning of the espresso maker's external components. Cleaning the Housing Never immerse the machine in water or other liquids. The housing may be cleaned with a soapy, damp, nonabrasive cloth. Cleaning the Drip Tray To remove the drip tray, simply lift it up off the unit, keeping it level at all times in order to prevent spills. Clean the drip tray with a soapy, damp, nonabrasive cloth. Do not clean drip tray with cleansers, steel wool pads or other abrasive materials. Cleaning the Water Reservoir Wash water reservoir with warm, soapy water. It is normal over time for discoloration, spotting or staining to appear in the water reservoir. This will vary depending on the mineral content of the bottled or filtered water used, but will not affect the operation of the machine. However, be sure to clean the water reservoir regularly to minimize buildup. Descale Mineral content in water varies from place to place. Depending on the mineral content of the water in your area, calcium deposits or scale may build up in your machine. Though scale is nontoxic, it can hinder performance. Descaling will help maintain the heating element and other parts that come into contact with water. For optimal performance, descale your machine once a month. It is possible with heavy use and/or hard water for calcium to build up faster, making it necessary to descale more often. 7
