5. Entretien

Un nettoyage et un entretien réguliers garantissent des performances optimales et une longue durée de vie à votre machine à café.

Nettoyage quotidien :

• Débranchez toujours l'appareil et laissez-le refroidir complètement avant de le nettoyer.
• Remove the filter holder and discard the used coffee filter. Wash the filter holder and glass carafes with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Essuyez l'extérieur de la machine avec de la publicitéamp Utilisez un chiffon. N’utilisez pas de nettoyants abrasifs ni de tampons à récurer, car ils peuvent endommager la finition en acier inoxydable.
• Ne plongez pas l’unité principale dans l’eau.

Détartrage:

Mineral deposits from water can build up inside the machine, affecting performance and coffee taste. For perfect operation, we recommend regularly descaling the appliance according to hygiene and safety guidelines, typically every 1-3 months depending on water hardness and usage.

• Utilisez une solution de détartrage commerciale adaptée aux machines à café, en suivant les instructions du fabricant.
• On peut également utiliser une solution de vinaigre blanc et d'eau (ratio 1:2).
• Run the descaling solution through a full brewing cycle without coffee.
• After descaling, run at least two full cycles with fresh, clean water to rinse out any descaling residue.
