Cleaning
It is important that the Machine and its accessories are kept clean after using.
For dirt or smudges on the Machine, it is better to clean them with a soft damp cloth, and if
necessary, with a non-corrosive and/or non-abrasive detergent or cleaner.
The filter pan and container pot might have some coffee or tea spots on them; clean them after
using daily is the best way to maintain the machine and its accessories.
If the coffee / tea spots accumulate on the filter pan or container pot over a while, please follow
the below steps to clean:
Put the filter pan and container pot into water and immerse for several hours.
The glass jug and filter pan should be washed in warm soapy water.
If necessary, clean with a non-corrosive or non-abrasive detergent.
Repeat to rinse until all remained detergent have been cleaned out.
De-sediments
After long term use, as the general water has some minerals, the limescale could build up in
the boiler; water tank and brew spray head, especially in the area that is belonged to hard
water quality. When inside of machine builds up too much limescale, it will affect the
normal operating of machine. Therefore, we recommend that your coffee maker is descaled
at the regular intervals, e.g. every 3-6 months or as required. If the water filters through
more slowly than usual, it is a sign that descaling is necessary. Please follow below steps
to de-sediment:
Melt 300 ml citric acid to a pail of warm water (around 2000ml) or dilute 2000ml
condensed lemon juice to 1 liter of warm water.
Place filter basket in proper position.
Place an empty pot at the correct position under the filter basket.
Connect to the solenoid valve by using an external water pump instead of water source.
Then, pump the citric acid solution into water tank by following the same brewing
procedure.
Standing for 10 mins, repeat 2~3 times of descaling steps if necessary.
Connect back to the water source and run the brewing cycles for several times with
water in order to clean away the citric acid liquid remained in the water tank. Turn off
the power and wait until water cool down inside of boiler. After that, using drainpipe
to release all remainder water in the boiler until the residual lemon flavor is completely
removed.
During the descaling process, please assign the technical person to guard the whole
process.
During the descaling process, wear appropriate gloves and goggles are necessary to avoid
any acid liquid splash.
In case if any acid liquid splash to the eyes or skin, please use a great quantity of water to
wash and go to the hospital immediately.
