Maintenance Tips
-
Daily rinse cycle (critical): Run the built-in rinse until water flows clear to flush concentrate lines and prevent flavor contamination or clogging.
-
Clean dispense nozzles & mix chambers daily: Remove and sanitize both dispense heads to avoid coffee residue buildup and bacterial growth.
-
Flush product lines before shutdowns: Always purge liquid coffee concentrate from the system to prevent drying and blockages.
-
Sanitize BIB (bag-in-box) connectors weekly: Ensure tight seals and clean fittings to maintain correct draw ratios and prevent air leaks.
-
Empty and clean drip tray daily: Prevent sticky residue buildup, odors, and overflow around dispensing area.
-
Inspect pump tubing regularly: Replace per wear schedule (commonly every ~6 months) to maintain accurate flow and avoid weak mixes.
-
Check rinse alarm compliance: Complete rinse cycles immediately when prompted to avoid dispensing lockout and system strain.
-
Wipe exterior daily: Use mild detergent only; avoid abrasives or pressure washing to protect panels and labels.
-
Monitor flow rate consistency: Uneven pours usually indicate scale buildup or partially clogged mix components.
-
Preventive servicing: Inspect pumps, seals, and internal lines regularly to maintain consistent 25:1–45:1 mixing performance and long-term reliability.
