15. Note: once the water reaches the top of the boiler, some water will leak from the anti-
vacuum valve (figure 1 below). You can address this issue by wrapping a twist tie around
the nipple of the anti-vacuum valve (figure 2 below) in a way that the nipple will stick up
mimicking the closed position of the anti-vacuum valve.
16. Replace the divider. Reinstall the reservoir platform and reservoir and insert the hoses
once again. If needed, add more descaling solution to the reservoir.
17. With the autofill wire still disconnected, plug the machine back in, remove the tip and 0-
ring from the steam wand and place them off to the side. Place a suitable container under
the steam wand and open the steam valve.
18. Turn the power switch only to position I. The autofill is defeated and therefore the
machine will overfill (completely fill) the boiler. As soon as a solid stream comes out of
the steam wand, turn the power switch to Position 0 and close the steam valve.
19. Place a suitable container under the hot water spout. Open the hot water valve and turn
the power switch to Position I. Pump about 16 ounces of solution through the spout..
Turn the power switch to Position 0 and then close the hot water valve and UNPLUG the
machine.
20. At this point, descaler has been pushed through all possible avenues where water can
pass. Leave the machine off, UNPLUG the power cord, and allow the machine to sit for
a few hours while the descaling solution works on buildup inside the boiler. Refer to the
instructions on the descaling agent’s container for a better idea of how long this should
take. The amount of soaking time is also a matter of the mineral content of your water,
how often you use your machine, and how long it has been since the last descaling.
21. After the requisite time has passed, place a suitable vessel under the hot water spout, plug
in the machine, open the hot water valve, and turn the power switch to position I. Pump
about 8 ounces of solution through the spout. Turn the power switch to position 0 and
then close the hot water spout and UNPLUG the machine. If the liquid you drained looks
quite fouled with scale, refill the reservoir with descaling agent and pump another 16
