Identify the programme

Check the exact model’s manual for cleaning, rinsing and descaling routines. Use the specified product and concentration rather than assuming vinegar or a general kitchen cleaner is suitable. Some systems have separate processes for the milk circuit and brewing unit.

Prepare the whole cycle

Allow enough time to complete every rinse. Place the required container beneath the outlets, remove or retain the water filter as instructed and keep children away from hot discharge. Do not stop halfway just because the first tank has emptied.

Return to a clean routine

Refill with fresh water and reassemble only the parts intended for user removal. Check whether a maintenance counter needs resetting, following the instructions rather than clearing warnings prematurely. If flow or taste remains unusual, consult support instead of repeatedly adding stronger chemicals.
