6. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your HIBREW H1B coffee machine.

6.1 Daily Cleaning

• Drip Tray: Empty and rinse the drip tray after each use or when the indicator shows it's full. Wipe it dry.
• Water Tank: Rinse the water tank daily and refill with fresh water. Clean it thoroughly with mild soap and water weekly.
• Brewing Head & Adapters: After each use, remove the pod adapter and rinse it under running water. Wipe the brewing head area with a damp cloth to remove any coffee residue. None of the parts are dishwasher safe.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

6.2 Descaling

Descaling is crucial to remove mineral deposits that can build up over time, affecting performance and taste. The frequency depends on water hardness and usage, but generally every 1.5 to 2 months is recommended.

• Use a descaling solution specifically designed for coffee machines or a citric acid solution. Do NOT use vinegar, as it may void the warranty or damage the machine.
• Follow the instructions on the descaling solution packaging.
• Typically, you will fill the water tank with the descaling solution, run several brewing cycles without a pod until the tank is empty, then rinse the tank and run several cycles with fresh water to flush out any remaining solution.

6.3 Reusable Filter

If you use the reusable filter for coffee powder, ensure it is cleaned thoroughly after each use to prevent clogging and maintain coffee quality. Consider using reusable filters to reduce waste.
