Eccellenza Pod

Monthly

► Clean the Whipper System – disassemble the whipper system and clean the
components with hot water.
► 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.

Every 6-12 Months

► Clean the Powder Hoppers – the hoppers should be emptied of product and
given a thorough cleaning to remove stains and deposits that may have
accumulated inside them.
► 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.
► 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.

Every 18 Months

► Replace the hose and grommet in the water tank – the 4" hose and the
grommet that connect to the heat exchange tube inside the water tank, and
the water pump tube elbow on the tank lid, will get harden and brittle over
time and must be replaced.
