To remove fingerprints and other blemishes on housing, use soap and water or nonabrasive cleaning solution.
Wipe resting plate clean with damp cloth. Avoid using rough, abrasive materials and cleansers.

Descaling: Depending on mineral content of water in your area, calcium deposits (scale) may build up in coffee maker. Although scale is nontoxic, it can affect performance. Descaling when CLEAN light is illuminated helps protect heating element and other parts that come in contact with water. For optimal performance, descale coffee maker every 3–6 months. If calcium deposits build up quickly, CLEAN light will illuminate, indicating coffee maker should be descaled. See instructions in product manual.

Before descaling, remove charcoal water filter from holder located in water reservoir. See instructions in product manual.
Steam Wand: Always clean wand after steaming milk. Wipe wand clean with damp cloth after use, then fill cup or mug with water and use Steam function as if you are frothing milk. This will release any remaining milk from inside wand. To clean thoroughly, twist off wand to remove it. Wipe steam tube underneath wand clean with damp cloth.
If steam tube is blocked, use paper clip or similar tool to clear opening. Move wand over drip tray and purge wand by using Steam function.
