28 While waiting for the descaler to work, remove the reservoir and empty it. Take care not to allow the
reservoir hose to drip or splash descaler. Rinse the reservoir out with clean water, and dry it. Replace the
reservoir and fill to within approximately 1/2 inch (2 cm) of the top with clean water. Replace the pickup
hose into the reservoir.
29 After the required wait time (Step 27), turn the power switch to “Position 0.”
30 Place the vessel under the hot water wand and open the valve. Turn the valve off when no more liquid
comes from the wand. If the vessel becomes full, close the valve, empty it and repeat until no more liquid
comes from the wand.
31 Empty the drip tray if necessary.
32 Turn the power switch to “Position I.” The pump will start and fill the boiler again.
33 When the pump stops, turn the power switch to “Position II.” The PID display should still read “oFF.” Al-
low the pressure in the steam boiler to rise.
34 When pressure has reached the normal operating pressure, turn the power switch to “Position 0.”
35 Place your vessel under the hot water wand and open the valve. Turn the valve off when no more liquid
comes from the wand. If the vessel becomes full, close the valve, empty it and repeat until no more liquid
comes from the wand.
36 FOR PLUMBED MACHINES ONLY -
At this time you can switch back to your plumbed option to make the rest of these steps easier. Remove
the reservoir and replace the screw in the center of the reservoir’s platform. Tighten it until you hear the
“click” of the water-level microswitch, and then at least one more additional turn. Failure to tighten the
screw will keep the machine from operating. You MUST also switch the water source selector lever on
the bottom of the machine back to the plumbed option. The lever should be pointing towards the steam
wand, which is to your left while facing the front of the machine. Rinse, dry and replace the reservoir,
and place the hose back into the reservoir.
CAUTION: Failure to switch the machine back to the plumbed option after tightening the
screw in the center of the reservoir platform will allow the pump to run without a water sup-
ply. This has the potential to damage the pump in a short time. Pump damage caused by run-
ning it dry is not covered by the warranty.
37 Refill the reservoir with clean water if using the reservoir option as the selected water source.
38 Turn the power switch to “Position I.” The steam boiler should go through a refill cycle and stop. When
the pump stops, turn the power switch to “Position II.” Allow the steam boiler to come back up to normal
operating pressure as indicated on the steam boiler’s gauge.
39 Place the vessel under the hot water wand, open the valve and dispense about 6 ounces of water, then
close the valve and discard the dispensed liquid. When the pump stops and the boiler comes back up to pres-
sure, once again dispense about 6 ounces of water through the hot water tap. Rinse and dry the vessel and
dispense another 6 ounces into the vessel. Allow that water to cool sufficiently, and if it smells clean and
free of descaling solution, use a clean, dry spoon and sample one or two drops of the water just as you did
for the brew water. If any of the acid taste remains, repeat the six-ounce flush and tasting process until the
water is free of acidic taste.
CAUTION: Most proper de-scaling agents are a form of acid which is food safe, and in highly di-
luted form is relatively safe to consume. Read the label of the product you are using to be sure it is
safe before sampling the discarded water. Sample only a very small amount.
40 When the water from the hot water wand is clean and free from the acidic taste of the cleaner, place a
steaming pitcher under the steam wand and slowly and carefully open the steam wand and dispense steam
for at least fifteen seconds. Close the valve, rinse the pitcher with clean, cool, water. When the steam pres-
sure builds, repeat the steam flush into the empty steaming pitcher. After closing the steam valve, carefully
