Maintenance

- Power on the machine. Long press the BREW button until the "ADD WATER CLEAN" indicator lights up steadily, indicating descaling mode.
- The machine will pump and heat the solution, then brew it. This process takes about 4 minutes per cycle.
- Once the descaling cycle is complete and the water flow stops, discard the solution.
- Rinse the water reservoir thoroughly and fill it with fresh, clean water.
- Repeat the descaling process (long press BREW button) with clean water to rinse out any residual descaling solution. Perform at least two rinse cycles.
- Turn off and unplug the machine after the final rinse.
