Maintenance Tips

• Daily Cleaning:
• Exterior Surfaces: Wipe all surfaces with a damp cloth rinsed in a mild, non-abrasive liquid detergent to maintain cleanliness and prevent residue buildup. 
• Brew Funnel and Sprayhead: Remove the brew funnel and sprayhead. Wash both components with warm water and a mild detergent to eliminate coffee oils and prevent clogging
• Deliming Procedure:
• Frequency: Perform deliming at least once a week to prevent mineral deposit buildup, especially in areas with hard water.
• Steps:
• Remove the sprayhead.
• Insert the deliming spring into the sprayhead tube until approximately two inches remain visible.
• Saw back and forth five to six times to loosen any lime deposits.
• Flush the tube by running a brew cycle without coffee.
• Clean the sprayhead, ensuring all holes are open and free of mineral deposits, then reinstall it.
• Brewing Cycle:
• Ensure the use of a BUNN paper filter centered in the funnel, with the bed of grounds leveled by gently shaking.
• After brewing, discard the used grounds and filter promptly to maintain optimal brewing conditions
• Regular Inspections:
• Periodically check the nut on the solenoid to ensure it is tight, as a loose nut can cause vibrations during operation. 
• Inspect plumbing lines to ensure they are not resting on the countertop, which could lead to operational issues.
• Water Quality:
• Connect the brewer to a cold water line with a pressure not exceeding 90 psi (620 kPa). If necessary, install a regulator to lower the working pressure to approximately 50 psi (345 kPa).
