CARE AND CLEANING Priming after long periods of non-use For the best tasting espresso, prime the Espresso Machine with fresh water after a long period of non-use. Priming will also ensure that the boilers are filled and the Espresso Machine is ready to operate. 1 Remove the reservoir, empty any stale water, replace, and fill the reservoir with fresh water to the max fill line. 2 Fill the boilers with the fresh water. For instructions, see "Rinsing and filling the boilers" section. Descaling Calcium deposits ("scale") from water will build up in the Espresso Machine over time and may impair espresso quality. Scale should be removed every four months; local hard-water conditions may require more frequent descalings. Use a packaged descaling agent or appropriate decalcification tablets to remove scale. These can be found online, or at coffee specialty shops. KitchenAid does not recommend using vinegar and water solutions or home remedies in place of a commercial descaler for the Espresso Machine. 1 Remove the shower screen from the brew head. See "Cleaning the shower screen" section for instructions. 2 Make certain the water reservoir is empty. Following the directions on the descaling agent packet, mix the descaling solution and add it to the reservoir. 28

Priming after long periods of non-use
Descaling
For the best tasting espresso, prime the Espresso Machine with fresh water after a long
period of non-use. Priming will also ensure that the boilers are filled and the Espresso
Machine is ready to operate.
Calcium deposits (“scale”) from water will build up in the Espresso Machine over time
and may impair espresso quality. Scale should be removed every four months; local
hard-water conditions may require more frequent descalings. Use a packaged descaling
agent or appropriate decalcification tablets to remove scale. These can be found online,
or at coffee specialty shops. KitchenAid does not recommend using vinegar and water
solutions or home remedies in place of a commercial descaler for the Espresso Machine.
1
Remove the shower screen from the
brew head. See “Cleaning the shower
screen” section for instructions.

is empty. Following the directions
on the descaling agent packet, mix
the descaling solution and add it
to the reservoir.
