6. Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and longevity of your coffee maker.

6.2. Self-Cleaning Cycle
The coffee maker features a one-touch self-cleaning cycle for internal maintenance.
- Empty Water Tank: Ensure the water tank is empty.
- Fill with Clean Water: Fill the water tank with fresh, clean water up to the MAX line.
- Place Container: Place an empty container on the drip tray.
- Activate Self-Clean: Press and hold the BREW button for 5 seconds. The "ADD WATER/CLEAN" indicator will illuminate, and the machine will begin a cleaning cycle, dispensing hot water.
- Repeat if Necessary: Repeat the cycle with fresh water if desired for a more thorough rinse.
6.3. Descaling
Descaling is essential to remove mineral buildup and maintain optimal performance. Perform descaling every 3-6 months, or more frequently if you have hard water.
- Prepare Descaling Solution: Mix water and white vinegar in a 3:1 ratio (e.g., 3 parts water to 1 part white vinegar). Pour this solution into the water tank up to the MAX mark. Alternatively, use a commercial descaling agent according to its instructions.
- Activate Descaling Mode (First Round): Place an empty container on the drip tray. Power on the machine. Long press the BREW button until the "DESCALE" indicator illuminates steadily, indicating entry into descaling mode. The machine will pump approximately 14oz of the solution, heat it, and dispense it. This round takes about 4 minutes.
- Second Round: Discard the dispensed solution. If there is remaining descaling solution in the tank, repeat the descaling process by long-pressing the BREW button again.
- Third Round (Rinse): After the descaling solution is completely used, clean the water tank and fill it with fresh, clean water. Long press the BREW button again to run a rinse cycle. Repeat this rinse cycle two more times (total of three rinse cycles) to ensure all descaling solution is flushed out.
- Power Off: Once all cycles are complete and the water tank is empty, turn off and unplug the machine. Dry all parts and reassemble.
