Part 3 Cleaning and care
Regular cleaning is essential in order to ensure problem-free operation of the coffee
machine and to ensure optimum coffee quality. Cleaning is done only every 27days or
230brewing cycles for the small coffee machines. In order to prevent the brewer from
breaking if the brewing chamber becomes clogged, cleaning tablets with asponge
must be used.
During cleaning, the sponge swells up, thus ensuring adefined water flow rate in the
brewing chamber during cleaning.
