6. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your coffee machine.

1. Daily Cleaning:
   • Unplug the machine and allow it to cool completely.

   • Alternatively, a solution of white vinegar and water (1:1 ratio) can be used.
   • Run the descaling solution through the machine as if brewing coffee, without actual coffee grounds.
   • After descaling, run several cycles of plain water through the machine to rinse thoroughly and remove any descaling solution residue.
