4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Using with Coffee Machines

The exact procedure may vary depending on your coffee machine model. Always consult your machine's user manual for specific cleaning cycle instructions.

1. Place one Xavax cleaning tablet into the designated cleaning tablet compartment of your coffee machine. If your machine does not have a specific compartment, follow its instructions for using cleaning agents.
2. Initiate the cleaning program on your coffee machine. This usually involves pressing a specific button or navigating through a menu.
3. Allow the cleaning cycle to complete fully. The machine will typically run water through its system to dissolve the tablet and flush out residues.
4. After the cleaning cycle, perform at least two rinse cycles with fresh water to ensure all cleaning agent residues are removed.
5. Empty and clean the drip tray and coffee grounds container thoroughly.

4.2 Using with Thermos Flasks and Teapots

1. Fill the thermos flask or teapot with warm water.
2. Drop one Xavax cleaning tablet into the water.
3. Allow the tablet to dissolve and the solution to work for approximately 15-30 minutes, or longer for heavily soiled items. Do not seal the container tightly during this process.
4. After the soaking period, thoroughly rinse the flask or teapot multiple times with clean water until no foam or residue remains.
5. Dry the container completely before storage or next use.

5. Maintenance Schedule

Regular cleaning is essential for the longevity and optimal performance of your appliances, as well as for maintaining the quality of your beverages.

• Coffee Machines: It is recommended to clean your coffee machine with Xavax cleaning tablets every 2-4 weeks, or as indicated by your machine's cleaning cycle reminder. For heavy daily use, more frequent cleaning may be necessary.
• Thermos Flasks and Teapots: Clean these items as needed, especially when visible stains or odors develop, or after every 10-15 uses to prevent buildup.

Note: These cleaning tablets are for removing coffee grease and residues. For descaling (removing mineral deposits), a separate descaling product should be used if recommended by your appliance manufacturer.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues during or after the cleaning process, consider the following:

• Cleaning cycle not starting: Ensure the tablet is correctly placed and the machine's cleaning program is properly initiated according to its manual.
• Residues remain after cleaning: The appliance might be heavily soiled. Repeat the cleaning process, or consider a longer soaking time for thermos flasks/teapots. Ensure sufficient rinse cycles are performed.
• Unusual taste after cleaning: This indicates that cleaning agent residues might still be present. Perform additional rinse cycles with fresh water until the taste is neutral.
• Machine still indicates "clean me": Some machines have separate descaling indicators. Ensure you are addressing the correct cleaning requirement (grease removal vs. descaling).

For persistent issues, consult your appliance's specific user manual or contact the appliance manufacturer's support.
