DESCALING:
Descaling your machine is a necessary part of keeping it fresh and ensuring the best-tasting coffee. Not descaling your machine can also lead to issues. For example, the machine can start leaking if the coffee cannot flow through it properly. The descaling process with Sjöstrand Descaling Tabs goes as followed:
1. Dissolve the descaling tab in 500 ml warm/hot (not boiling) water and stir thoroughly till it is dissolved.
2. Add the solution to the water tank and add cold water till the top.
3. Start the descaling procedure by pushing both buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until they both start blinking. Push either button to start the procedure.
4. When the whole solution has passed through the machine once, the descaling procedure is completed.
5. Rinse the machine by running at least about half a water tank (minimum 500 ml) of fresh water through the machine. You can do this again by starting the descaling procedure and interrupt it by pressing a button when completed.
6. The rinsing is completed when the water coming out of the nozzle is clear and not longer foamy. Switch the machine off or press a button to end the procedure.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DESCALE?
We recommend to descale your machine every 3-6 months in average. For areas with mineral-rich water, it should be up to once every third month. The intervals depend on the frequency of servings and the amount of lime in your water.

AIRING THE MACHINE - PREPARING THE MACHINE FOR LONGER NON-USE OR TRANSPORTATION:
If you are moving the machine or plan not to use it for a long period of time, we recommend that you air it. You will then drain the machine completely of water to avoid freezing and leaking.
1. Switch ON the machine
2.Pull the capsule inlet lever down (without a capsule)
3. Push either of the brew ratio buttons.
4. As soon as water starts pouring out, remove the water tank.
5. Once the water stops pouring, the airing of the machine is complete.

DEAIRING THE MACHINE - WHEN THE MACHINE IS NEW OR HAS NOT BEEN USED IN A WHILE:
When your new machine arrives, it is completely out of water, and you will need to deair it to let water in. You will notice this when you have filled the water tank, but no water comes out when it’s supposed to start brewing. The machine will also make the same noise it does when performing a normal brewing procedure. To deair yourmachine, follow the steps below:
1. Fill up the water tank.
2. Turn the machine ON and wait till it is heated up (the lights stop blinking)
3. Have the capsule inlet lever in its upright position. Push it slightly further back towards the back of the machine. Keep it pushed back as long as water is splashing in.
4. Run a cup of water through the machine before brewing a cup of coffee by pressing either the espresso or the lungo button. Your machine is deaired when water comes out of the nozzle.

CLEANING:
Use a damp cloth with mild, non-abrasive cleaning detergent to remove stains of grease or fingerprints from the machines surface. Remove the capsules from the container frequently and rinse it to avoid mould or bad smell. Clean the water tank from lime stains or sewage frequently by using a non-abrasive cloth and agent (e.g. dishwashing liquid).
