  • Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Descaling

Descaling is essential to maintain the performance and longevity of your coffee machine, especially in areas with hard water. The frequency depends on water hardness and usage.

  2. Run Descaling Cycle: Place a large container under the coffee spout. Press the "Stop & Go" button to start the descaling process, allowing the solution to run through the machine until the tank is empty.
  3. Rinse: After the descaling solution has run through, rinse the water tank thoroughly and fill it with fresh water. Run several full tanks of fresh water through the machine to rinse out any remaining descaling solution.
