Maintenance Tips
- Clean brew funnels, sprayheads, and Soft Heat servers daily to prevent coffee oil buildup and maintain consistent extraction across both brew heads.
- Sanitize all coffee-contact parts (funnels, lids, servers) daily using approved food-safe sanitizer to avoid contamination and flavor carryover.
- Wipe exterior stainless steel and control panels daily with a soft cloth and mild detergent; avoid abrasives or high-pressure water to protect electronics.
- Clean sprayhead holes regularly using a sprayhead tool to prevent mineral scale and ensure even water distribution (critical for peak extraction performance).
- Descale internal tanks on a routine schedule (more frequently in hard-water areas) to maintain heating efficiency and stable brew temperature.
- Flush hot water through the system daily to reduce coffee oil buildup in internal lines and maintain flavor consistency across batches.
- Inspect funnel locks (electronic safety lock) to ensure funnels cannot be removed during brewing and that sensors are functioning correctly.
- Keep ventilation areas clear to prevent overheating during continuous dual-brewer operation and high-volume output.
- Check water inlet lines and fittings regularly for leaks, scaling, or pressure issues that affect brew consistency.
- Follow preventive maintenance kits (gaskets, seals, sprayheads) on schedule to maximize uptime and protect long-term brewing performance in commercial use.
