Remove the reservoir, empty any stale

water, replace, and fill the reservoir

with fresh water to the max fill line.

Fill the boilers with the fresh water. For

instructions, see “Rinsing and filling the

boilers” section.

Priming after long periods of non-use

Descaling

For the best tasting espresso, prime the Espresso Machine with fresh water after a long

period of non-use. Priming will also ensure that the boilers are filled and the Espresso

Machine is ready to operate.

Calcium deposits (“scale”) from water will build up in the Espresso Machine over time

and may impair espresso quality. Scale should be removed every four months; local

hard-water conditions may require more frequent descalings. Use a packaged descaling

agent or appropriate decalcification tablets to remove scale. These can be found online,

or at coffee specialty shops. KitchenAid does not recommend using vinegar and water

solutions or home remedies in place of a commercial descaler for the Espresso Machine.

Remove the shower screen from the

brew head. See “Cleaning the shower

screen” section for instructions.

Make certain the water reservoir

is empty. Following the directions

on the descaling agent packet, mix

the descaling solution and add it

to the reservoir.
