Descaling Guide
Instructions:
Tip: It may be easiest to remove your water tank and drip tray, then turn your entire machine upside down to
access your brew head.
Step One: Access the brew screen
•On the underside of the brew head, remove the Phillips screw located in the middle of the brew head
screen. This will remove the brew head screen and also expose the brew head bushing.
Step Two: Access the valve spring and ball valve
•Remove the brew head bushing, which is a threaded hollow cylinder that houses the boiler ball valve
and the boiler valve spring. Flathead channels for its removal are separated by the brew head screen
screw hole.
•If your flathead screwdriver is wide enough to fit into both channels simultaneously, remove the
bushing as if it were a screw.
•If your flathead is not wide enough, use a nickel and a pair of pliers. The nickel is used to fit into both
channels, and the pliers provide turning leverage on the nickel to unscrew the bushing.
Step Three: Install new valve spring and ball valve
•Remove the old boiler ball valve and valve spring from the bushing, and install the new valve and
spring. Note: If the new parts have separated, simply insert the ball valve into the spring until the top
of the spring is up against the bottom half of the ball valve.
•Ensure the ball valve is coming out of the top of the bushing, and that the bottom of the spring is
freely sitting on the inside of the bushing. Screw the bushing back into the brew head, with the ball
valve and valve spring enclosed.
Tip: You will need to compress the spring a little bit when screwing the bushing back in to the brew head
to ensure that the threads are meeting up accurately.

Step Four: Replace the brew head gasket
•The brew head gasket relies completely on friction to stay in place so it takes a little elbow grease to
remove it.
•Place your flathead screwdriver in between the outside edge of the gasket and the inside edge of the
brew head, then pry it down. Do this around the entire gasket and slowly work it down off of the brew
head, being aware the gasket may tear during removal.
•Once the old gasket has been removed, thoroughly clean the area with a damp papertowel to remove
any coffee residue.
•When installing the new gasket, make sure the larger side faces the top of the machine. Your portafilter
will make contact with the smaller side of the gasket.
Step Five: Install brew screen
•Simply hold the new brew screen in place while securing with the included screw.
Step Six: Descale your machine
•Please refer to the Descaling Guide for detailed instructions on using Dezcal
