In the interests of hygiene, we recommend changing the milk pipe on a regular basis (approx. every 3 months). Replacement pipes are available from London Coffee Machines.

To ensure that the milk system in the dual spout always works properly, you must clean it daily when you have been preparing milk. The GIGA will not prompt you to clean the milk system.

DESCALING THE MACHINE  = WHEN PROMPTED BY THE MACHINE

Limescale deposits may form in the water tank. To ensure correct function of the machine, descale the water system when prompted to do so.

The GIGA builds up deposits of limescale over time and automatically prompts you to descale it when necessary. The degree of calcification depends on the hardness of your water.

If the descaling agent comes into contact with the skin or eyes, this can cause irritation. Avoid contact with the skin or eyes. Rinse off the descaling agent with clean water. Should you get any descaling agent in your eye, see a doctor.

If the wrong descaling agent is used, the machine could be damaged and/or traces could be left behind in the water. London Coffee Machines provide this.

If the descaling operation is interrupted, there may be damage to the machine.

Allow the descaling program to run to the end.

If the descaling agent comes into contact with sensitive surfaces (e.g. marble), damage cannot be ruled out. Clean up any splashes immediately.

The descaling program lasts approximately 50 minutes.
