5.2 Watertenk skoonmaak

Clean the water tank periodically with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue. It is recommended to use filtered water to reduce mineral buildup.

5.3 Ontkalking

Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up in the machine over time, affecting performance. Descale your machine every 2-3 months, or more frequently if you have hard water.

2. Empty the water tank and fill it with the descaling solution.
3. Plaas 'n groot houer onder die portafilter en stoompyp.
4. Plug in and power on the machine. Allow it to heat up.

6. Laat die oorblywende helfte deur die stoompyp dryf.
7. Skakel die masjien af ​​en laat dit vir 15-20 minute staan.
