Cleaning and maintenance
ATTENTION: Hazard of injury and burns!
Before cleaning, always unplug the appliance
and let all parts cool down.
• Remove the pot from the base before cleaning.
• Clean the accessory parts in hot water. For that you can readily use a small, soft bottle-brush.
• It is quite normal that there are some residues of water and coffee powder left in the water tank. Howe-
ver, never immerse water tank and power base into water and do not hold them under running water.
• Regularly check the pressure relief valve and make sure it is not blocked.
• Also make sure that no water or steam can infiltrate the underside.
• Do not clean it in the automatic dishwasher!
• Do not use abrasives or cleaning sprays.
• Never use a steam jet appliance for cleaning.
• Always let the appliance dry out completely; we therefore recommend that the appliance be stored
unscrewed.
• Before using the espresso maker again, all electrical connections at the water tank and the power base
must be completely dry!
• The filter plate as well as the sealing rubber must be kept clean and be replaced regularly. You can buy
those as an accessory set in specialist shops or order from us directly under article no. F 13.13 (ElPresso
for 6/3 cups) and F 13.14 (ElPresso mini for 4/2 cups) respectively.
• Our tip: Loose soiling in the water container can be easily removed by filling half of it with warm water,
connecting it firmly with the top and shaking it well.
• Deposits of coffee oil (brown layer) can be removed with a special coffee oil remover, available in the
specialist trade. Observe the manufacturer's instructions.
Descaling
Depending on the water hardness, limescale might form inside the water tank. Therefore, regular descaling
is recommended. This will help to save energy and grants an always excellent espresso.
We recommend a digestible descaling procedure with citric acid or vinegar. For doing so, put some hot
water with some citric acid or vinegar into the water tank and let it soak for a while. Then empty the water
tank and rub it inside with a damp cloth. Finally rinse with pure water and let dry
