Clean all attachments and dry thoroughly. Cleaning the Portafilter and Filters If you find that the filter is blocked with a very fine powder while brewing coffee, immerse the filter in boiling water for 10 minutes to unclog it, then rinse it with running water. 8 WARNING: DO NOT wash any of the parts in the dishwasher. To avoid burns, the filter must only be removed when the portafilter has cooled down sufficiently. Cleaning the Milk Reservoir and Milk Tube Once you are done making your beverage with milk, you can either store the milk reservoir with milk in the refrigerator or completely clean the milk reservoir and milk tube. It is important to clean the milk-frothing system immediately after making cappuccino, latte or manual frothing. Residual milk may clog the milk frother, leading to frothing problems, which can negatively impact the taste of coffee or produce an unpleasant odor. If the milk reservoir is stored in the refrigerator: 1. Place a large empty cup under the portafilter. Ensure there is sufficient water in the water reservoir above the "MIN" mark. 2. Gently rotate the knob to adjust the milk tube towards the cup. 3. Press and hold the Latte button for 3 seconds. 4. The machine will start to make hot water from the milk tube, and will flash on the screen. 5. The cleaning cycle will last for around 80 seconds. 6. Repeat steps 1-4 to make sure the milk residue is entirely removed. 7. The milk tube is clean and the milk reservoir can be restored in the refrigerator. To thoroughly clean the milk reservoir: (3 SECONDS) 1. Drain the milk reservoir and rinsh it with running water. 2. Fill the milk reservoir with clean water. 3. Place a large empty cup under the portafilter. Ensure there is sufficient water in the water reservoir above the "MIN" mark. 4. Gently rotate the knob to adjust the milk tube towards the cup. 5. Press and hold the Latte button for 3 seconds. 6. The machine will start to make hot water from the milk tube, and will flash on the screen. 7. The cleaning cycle will last for around 80 seconds. 8. Repeat steps 3-6 to make sure the milk residue is entirely removed. (3 SECONDS) 9 9. Rinse and wash all parts of the milk reservoir including lid thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry well. Do not use abrasive cleaners and scouring pads, as they will scratch the finish. Deep Cleaning the Milk Reservoir Lid Follow the below procedures to deeply clean the milk reservoir lid. 1. Remove the rubber plug on the lid. 2. Remove the silicone tube and the milk tube. 3. Rinse each pipe opening with clean water. (Do not immerse in water!) 4. Dry well and assemble all parts back to correct position. In particular, the rubber plug must be installed back in place, or the milk reservoir will not work. NOTE If you find that the machine can not product the milk foam, it may be due to a blockage in the air inlet. You can use a 0.25mm needle to clear the air inlet and it should work normally. 10 Cleaning the Brew Head Regularly remove any coffee grounds from the brew head using a brush, and wash with hot water: Insert the portafilter into it without using coffee grounds. Place a cup under the brew head and press the Espresso button twice to fill the cup. Then remove the portafilter from the brew head and clean it with a dry cloth. WARNING: Do not try to disassemble the brew head. It will damage the brew head and lead to leakage. Descaling To make sure your coffee machine operates efficiently, to clean the internal pipes, and to preserve the flavor of your coffee, the coffee machine needs to be descaled, cleaned and maintained periodically. Also, after 500 times of brew cycle, it is necessary to run a descaling cycle. Otherwise, the Descale warning will appear at every time start-up. Please proceed below steps to descaling the machine: 1. Fill the water with descaling agent (4 parts water to 1 part descaling agent) into the water reservoir up to the "MAX" marking. NOTE Please also refer to the instructions on the descaling agent. Please use a household descaling agent, or you can use citric acid instead of a commercial descaling agent - in this case use 100 parts of water to 3 parts of citric acid. 2. Place a cup/mug or other suitable receptacle on the drip tray and keep pressing the Cappuccino and Latte buttons together for 5 seconds. The machine will start the descaling cycle and run for 6 minutes then stop automatically. 3. Repeat the previous steps until the water with descaling agent is running out. (5 SECONDS) 4. Next, repeat the process two more times using only CLEAN TAP WATER without any descaling agent. 11 TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Cause Solution The machine is not switched on or the Machine power plug is not plugged in. doesn't work Short circuit/ power outlet has no power.
