7. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your machine.

Daily Cleaning:

• Drip Tray and Used Capsule Container: Empty and rinse the drip tray and the used capsule container daily. They can be washed with warm soapy water.
• Water Tank: Rinse the water tank daily and refill with fresh water.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Descaling:

Descaling is crucial to remove mineral deposits and maintain brewing quality. The frequency depends on water hardness and usage. It is recommended to descale every 3-6 months.

• Use a descaling solution specifically designed for coffee machines. Follow the instructions on the descaling product.
• Typically, this involves filling the water tank with the descaling solution, placing a large container under the spout, and running the solution through the machine until the tank is empty.
• After descaling, rinse the water tank thoroughly and run several cycles with fresh water to flush out any remaining descaling solution.
