Practical Maintenance for Peak Performance

  1. Use Filtered Water: Hard water contains minerals that build up inside your machine. Filtered water keeps it running smoothly.
  2. Weekly Self-Cleaning: Use the built-in self-cleaning function at least once a week to flush out any lingering particles.
  3. The Vinegar Deep Clean: Every 3 months, run a cycle with a 1:1 ratio of water and white vinegar to descale the internal components.
  4. Wipe Down the Exterior: Keep the air vents clear of dust to prevent overheating and ensure efficient cooling.
  5. Drain When Not in Use: If you're going away for the weekend, drain the reservoir to prevent stagnant water and mold growth.
