DECALCIFYING YOUR 3 IN 1 COFFEE CENTER - GENERAL • Over time mineral deposits build up on internal parts of the coffeemaker and effect the operation of the appliance causing the need for decalcification. The frequency of decalcification depends on the hardness of your water and how often the unit is used. Indications that decalcifying is necessary are: o Increased noise during production o Excessive steaming o Longer brewing times o The pumping action stops before all of the water has been pumped from the water reservoir • If usage is regular, decalcifying should be carried out as follows: o With soft water, decalcify once per year o With medium water, decalcify every three (3) months o With hard water, decalcify monthly • We recommend the use of vinegar for decalcifying. DECALCIFYING YOUR 3 IN 1 COFFEE CENTER Espresso Maker • Release all pressure and allow the entire unit to cool completely before decalcifying. • Pour 8 ounces (4-cup mark on espresso carafe) of fresh, cool undiluted white household vinegar into the boiler chamber. • Following the instructions for "Preparing Espresso" run the vinegar through the espresso making cycle except without the use of coffee grounds. • Place a cup of cool water under the steam wand. When the solution has pumped through the unit and is at the 2-cup mark on the espresso carafe, insert the steam wand into the water and open the boiler valve for 10-15 seconds. Close the boiler valve and allow the remaining vinegar to be pumped into the carafe. • Repeat the steps above twice using clear cool water to rinse any remaining traces of the vinegar from the system. Coffeemaker • Release all pressure and allow the entire unit to cool completely before decalcifying. • Pour 20 ounces (4-cup mark on coffee carafe) of fresh, cool undiluted white household vinegar into the water reservoir. • Following the instructions for "Preparing Coffee" run the vinegar through the coffee making cycle except without the use of coffee grounds. • Repeat the steps above twice using clear cool water to rinse any remaining traces of the vinegar from the system. 16
