6. Maintenance
6.1 Daily Cleaning
- Drip Tray and Grid: Empty and rinse the drip tray and its grid after each use.
- Pod Holders: Rinse the pod holders under hot running water. You can also wash them in the dishwasher.
- Coffee Spout: Wipe the coffee spout with a damp cloth.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents.
6.2 Descaling
Regular descaling is crucial to maintain your machine's performance and coffee quality. The frequency depends on water hardness and usage. Descale your machine every 3 months or after 400 cups, whichever comes first.
- Use a descaling agent specifically designed for coffee machines (e.g., Senseo descaler). Follow the instructions on the descaling agent packaging.
- Fill the water reservoir with the descaling solution as per the descaler's instructions.
- Place the 1-cup pod holder with a used pod (to filter the descaling solution) in the machine.
- Place a large bowl (at least 1.5 liters) under the coffee spout.
- Start the descaling cycle by pressing both the 1-cup and 2-cup buttons simultaneously until the power button starts flashing rapidly.
- The machine will perform several rinsing cycles. Once the water reservoir is empty, rinse it thoroughly and fill it with fresh water.
- Perform at least two rinsing cycles with fresh water (without a pod) to remove any descaling residue.
7. Troubleshooting
