Run daily rinse cycle: Flush both dispense sides until liquid runs clear to remove concentrate residue and prevent flavor contamination.
-
Clean mix chambers & nozzles daily: Prevent clogging from coffee concentrate buildup and ensure consistent flavor delivery.

Sanitize product lines regularly: Use approved cleaning/sanitizing solution to keep concentrate lines hygienic and prevent bacterial growth.
