Put some CLRin it and halfway through its cycle unplug it and let soak for about an hour then plug it back in and start the cycle over. Run it through a couple of cycle with filtered water to flush it out and you should be set to go.. Good Luck -Ned
You know, the coffee and chino tastes alot better with filtered water. Tap water seems to leave a lime deposit that restricts the passages in these machines, especially with a steamer or super heat in the cycle..
