Maintenance Tips

• Daily sprayhead cleaning: Remove and clean sprayhead holes to ensure even water distribution and prevent weak or inconsistent coffee extraction.
• Deliming routine (critical): Insert the deliming spring into the sprayhead tube and move it back and forth to remove scale buildup—especially important in hard water areas.
• Clean sprayhead regularly: A properly functioning sprayhead should evenly saturate the coffee bed; clogging leads to poor brew quality.
• Wipe all surfaces daily: Use a damp cloth with mild, non-abrasive detergent; avoid the heater switch area to prevent accidental shutdown.
• Descale system periodically: Mineral buildup is the #1 cause of inconsistent brew volume, steaming, and temperature drops.
• Check hot water faucet (if equipped): Clean faucet aerator and ensure smooth flow to prevent clogging and drip issues.
• Maintain brew temperature (~195–200°F): Low temperature results in weak coffee; adjust thermostat if needed during servicing.
• Keep brewer level: Ensures proper siphoning and consistent brew volume across cycles.
• Inspect water supply (plumbed models): Ensure stable pressure (20–90 PSI) and clean inlet filters for consistent performance.
• Preventive maintenance: Regular inspection of sprayhead, seals, and internal tubing helps avoid liming, dripping, and flow inconsistency.
