14. Decalcifying
When making espresso, always use cold clean water. Using spring water or
ltered water will slow down calcium build up. The red indicator and white
indicator will blink alternately when the coee machine has performed enough
coee brewing or milk frothing function, which means that the coee machine
needs to be decalcied. When using commercial decalcifying agents it is
important to follow their instructions. You can also use Capresso Cleaning
Solution, available at www.capresso.com. Dissolve 1 packet of Capresso
Cleaning Solution with 40 oz. of water and add to the water tank.
Note: Do not use vinegar as this will considerably shorten the life of the seal
inside the brew head.

head.
