The ownership routine
- Clean milk-contact parts immediately after use.
- Rinse accessible brew parts and empty trays on the model schedule.
- Use only approved detergents and descalers.
- Track water filters and hardness settings where applicable.
- Stop for electrical, pressure, leak, or abnormal-heat hazards.
Cleaning and descaling are not synonyms
Coffee-oil residue and mineral scale require different procedures. Follow the exact machine’s instructions for both instead of applying a generic recipe.
