How to Avoid Mold
1. Clean Regularly:
• Wash detachable parts daily and descale the machine with vinegar or a descaling solution once a month.
2. Empty the Reservoir:
• Do not leave water sitting in the reservoir for extended periods.
3. Dry Components:
• After each use, wipe down and air-dry the water tank, drip tray, and other parts.
4. Use Filtered Water:
• Filtered water reduces mineral buildup, which can trap moisture and encourage mold growth.
5. Leave the Lid Open:
• Keep the water reservoir and other compartments open to allow air circulation.
6. Replace Filters:
• Replace any coffee machine filters as recommended by the manufacturer to prevent mold buildup.
7. Store Properly:
• Store the machine in a dry area away from excess humidity.
By following these steps, you can eliminate mold and maintain a clean, healthy coffee machine for your daily brews.
