Wash the components (except the electrical ones) with cold/lukewarm water and non-abrasive cloths/sponges. Do not use dishwasher for washing the machine components. Rinse the tank every day. Do not leave water in the circuit for over 4 days or, should this happen, then run a water supply (without capsule) before starting a coffee supply.

CLEANING THE BREW GROUP
