4.3 Using the Steam Wand (Milk Frothing / Hot Water)

1. Ensure the water tank is filled and the machine is powered on.
2. Press the steam button. The indicator light will flash as the machine heats up to steam temperature. Once solid, it's ready.

Turn the steam knob slowly to release steam. Move the pitcher up and down to create foam. Once desired foam and temperature are reached, turn off the steam knob.
4. For varmt vann: Place a cup under the steam wand. Turn the steam knob to release hot water for teas or infusions.
5. After use, immediately wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth to prevent milk residue from drying. Briefly release steam into an empty cup to clear any internal blockages.

4.4 Cup Warmer Surface

The top surface of the machine acts as a passive cup warmer. Place your espresso cups here before brewing to pre-heat them. This helps maintain the temperature of your espresso and enhances its aroma.

5. Vedlikehold og rengjøring

Regelmessig rengjøring sikrer optimal ytelse og forlenger levetiden til espressomaskinen din.

5.1 Daglig rengjøring

• Dryppskål: Tøm og skyll dryppskålen daglig, eller når indikatoren flyter opp.
• Portafilter og filterkurver: Etter hver bruk, fjern brukt kaffegrut og skyll filterholderen og filterkurvene under varmt vann.
• Dampstav: As mentioned in section 4.3, wipe immediately after use and purge briefly.
• Ytre: Tørk av utsiden av maskinen med en myk, damp klut. Ikke bruk skuremidler eller skuresvamp.

5.2 Rengjøring av vanntank

Clean the water tank periodically with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue. It is recommended to use filtered water to reduce mineral buildup.

5.3 Avkalking

Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up in the machine over time, affecting performance. Descale your machine every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water. Use a commercial descaling solution specifically designed for coffee machines, following the product's instructions. Alternatively, a solution of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) can be used.

1. Ensure the machine is cold and unplugged.
2. Empty the water tank and fill it with the descaling solution.
3. Plasser en stor beholder under portafilteret og damprøret.
4. Plug in and power on the machine. Allow it to heat up.
5. Run half of the solution through the brewing head by pressing the espresso button.
6. Run the remaining half through the steam wand.
7. Slå av maskinen og la den stå i 15–20 minutter.
8. Empty and rinse the water tank thoroughly. Fill with fresh water.
9. Run several full tanks of fresh water through both the brewing head and steam wand to rinse out any descaling solution.
