CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

DESCALING THE COFFEE MAKER

After using your 6-in-1 coffee maker for a while, limescale will begin to build up inside the machine. It is important to descale your appliance every 2-3 months. If the machine is used daily, the descaling process should be done monthly.
Plug the appliance into a wall outlet.
Mix equal parts vinegar and water and pour it into the coffee maker.
Press the coffee button to start the brewing process.
When the brewing process is complete, fill up your 6-in-1coffee maker with water and begin brewing again. This is to rinse it off any remaining vinegar.
You may have to run one more cycle of brewing water to remove the vinegar odor.

The following table gives the suggested cleaning intervals:

Type of Water	Cleaning Frequency
Soft Water (Filtered Water)	Every 80 Brew Cycle
Hard Water (Tap Water)	Every 40 Brew Cycle

If the functions of the machine are not working properly, power off the machine and wait a few minutes before restarting.
After continuously using the machine (6 cycles, or less then 10 minutes between 2 cycles) the machine will be hot. The system will use the water that's already inside to cool off the machine. Steam will escape from the steam release hole and the drip plate tray will become hot. Do not touch.

In order to care for the machine, ensure to allow the machine to rest for 3 minutes in between two milk foam function cycles.
After the milk foam spout is finished frothing- the milk foam spout will be very hot. Do not touch the metal parts.
Holders may be hot after brewing- handle with care.
The K-cup Holder has a sharp blade on the inside of the container- which is designed to puncture the capsule, handle with care to avoid injury from the needle.
The water temperature inside the holder is extremely hot, therefore, do not open the upper jaw areas while brewing is taking place.
Always make sure there is nothing blocking the milk spout and milk tube at anytime.
Clean the milk spout and milk tube daily.
