6. Skoonmaak en Onderhoud
Gereelde skoonmaak verseker optimale werkverrigting en verleng die lewensduur van jou koffiemasjien.
6.1 Daaglikse skoonmaak
- Ontkoppel altyd die koffiemasjien se stekker en laat dit heeltemal afkoel voordat jy dit skoonmaak.
- Remove the filter basket and discard used coffee grounds and paper filter. Wash the filter basket and carafe (including its lid) in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Vee die buite-oppervlaktes van die koffiemasjien af met 'n sagte, damp lap. Moenie skuurskoonmakers of skuursponsies gebruik nie.
- The main unit is nie dishwasher safe. The carafe and filter basket may be hand-washed only.
6.2 Ontkalking
Mineral deposits (limescale) can build up in your coffee maker over time, affecting performance. Descale regularly, depending on water hardness and frequency of use (e.g., every 2-4 weeks).
- Fill the water tank with a descaling solution (e.g., white vinegar and water in a 1:2 ratio, or a commercial descaling agent following its instructions).
- Place the empty filter basket (without coffee or paper filter) and the empty carafe on the warming plate.
- Start a brewing cycle. Allow half of the solution to brew through, then turn off the coffee maker and let it soak for 15-20 minutes.
- Skakel die koffiemasjien weer aan en laat die oorblywende oplossing deurtrek.
- Gooi die ontkalkingsoplossing uit die karaf weg.
- Run 2-3 cycles with fresh, cold water only to rinse the coffee maker thoroughly and remove any residual descaling solution taste.
