De-Liming - Westfalia CM208A Bedienungsanleitung

Chapter 1
caution as the filter may still contain hot water floating on top of the coffee
grounds. Knock the used espresso grounds out while holding the filter in place
by holding the thumb guard lock firmly against the filter cup. Use caution as
the filter cup and the filter holder will be very hot. Rinse the filter cup and the
fitter holder out thoroughly with water. It is not recommended to put the filter,
or filter holder in the dishwasher. If you are not going to use the machine again
for some time, do not reinsert the filter holder on the brew head; this will
lengthen the service life of the filter seal.
Remove the water reservoir and empty out any remaining water. Do not wash
the water reservoir in the dishwasher.
Remove the drip tray and overflow grid from the machine and rinse with warm,
soapy water. Do not wash these parts in the dishwasher.
Cleaning the Brew Head
The brew head (5) may need cleaning after prolonged use. Wipe off the brew
head with a damp cloth to remove any old espresso grounds. If the brewing
sieve (the underside of the brew head) is particularly dirty, run a few cycles of
plain water through the machine.
Operate the machine as if you were going go brew espresso, but do not put
coffee grounds in the filter cup. Secure the filter handle in place and operate
for 30 seconds several times. This will run hot water through the brew head
and clean out any old grounds.
Cleaning the Steam Wand
The steam wand (9) should be cleaned immediately after every use to prevent
steamed milk from drying on the wand. Fill a pitcher half way with water and
run the steaming feature again for about 20 seconds This will clean out the
inside of the steam wand.
Use a damp cloth to wipe off the exterior of the steam wand and frother
attachment. You may wish to rinse the frother attachment with warm, soapy
water. If the end of the steam wand becomes blocked with dry milk, use a
sewing needle or safety pin to clean out the small hole.

De-Liming

The service life of your Espresso Maker will be lengthened if you de-lime it
regularly. To de-lime the machine, use a regular de-liming product for
espresso machines and use it according to the manufacturer's instructions.
The frequency of de-liming depends upon the hardness of the water used. The
following table gives the suggested cleaning intervals.
