Maintenance Tips

• Daily Cleaning:

  • After each use, rinse the drip tray, coffee grounds container, and water reservoir with warm water. Dry thoroughly before reassembling.
  • Clean the milk frother after every use by running hot water through it to remove milk residue.

• Descaling:

  • Descale the machine regularly (every 2-3 months or when the descale warning appears). Use a recommended descaling solution and follow the instructions in the user manual.
  • This will help prevent mineral buildup and maintain optimal performance.

• Milk Frother Care:

  • After frothing milk, clean the classic milk frother immediately to prevent milk from clogging the system.
  • Use a soft cloth to wipe the frother’s exterior.

• Filter Maintenance:

  • Replace the water filter every 2 months or as recommended by the manufacturer. A clean filter helps ensure the best coffee flavor and protects internal components.

• Cleaning the Brew Group:

  • Remove and rinse the brew group weekly under running water to maintain performance and hygiene. Let it air dry completely before reinserting.
  • Avoid using soap or detergents, as this may damage the parts.

• Coffee Grounds Container:

  • Empty the coffee grounds container daily to prevent overflow. Clean the container with warm water occasionally to remove any coffee oils that may accumulate.

• Water Reservoir:

  • Regularly clean the water reservoir with warm water and mild soap to ensure no buildup or odors develop.
