Operation Manual

Monthly

 Clean the Whipper System – disassemble the whipper system and clean the components with hot
water.
•
NOTE: When re-assembling the whipper components, always add some Lubrifilm lubricant to
the base of the shaft in the area where the whipper base gasket is located.
 Clean the Brewer – to clean the brewer, make a vend as you normally would, however, instead of
inserting a coffee pod into the brewer, you need to insert a special cleaning tab. The hot water
dissolves the cleaning tab, which in turn cleans all of the areas in which it comes into contact. Make
several vends afterwards (without inserting anything into the brewer) to rinse out the cleaning solution.
Make one final vend using a coffee pod to test the brewer.
 Clean Hoses and Spouts – clean the exterior of all the product hoses and spouts with a wet towel.
 Thoroughly Clean the Interior – clean the interior walls, base and components with a clean wet
towel.

cleaning to remove stains and deposits that may have accumulated inside them.

 Delime the Water Tank - to minimize servicing time, replace the water tank with a tank that has
already been delimed, then clean the removed tank at the shop and use it the next time a tank
replacement is required.
 Clean the Outlet Valves - to minimize servicing time, replace the outlet valves with valves that have
already been cleaned, then clean the removed valves at the shop and use them the next time a valve
replacement is required.
 Replace the Water Filter – the water filter should be replaced at least once a year, or when the water
flow rate through the filter has decreased. This is an indication that the filter is starting to clog.
