Maintaining your Izzy MILANO 6616S filter coffee maker is essential for optimal performance and longevity. Here's how to keep it clean:
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the coffee maker's exterior with a soft, damp cloth.
- Carafe and Lid: Wash the glass carafe and lid with warm, soapy water or place them in the top rack of your dishwasher.
- Permanent Filter: Rinse the permanent filter under running water after each use.
- Water Reservoir: Avoid using a cloth inside the water reservoir to prevent lint buildup. For stubborn stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner with a nylon pad or soft sponge. Never use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleansers.
- Descaling: Mineral deposits can accumulate, so descaling is crucial. Mix cold water with two tablespoons of white vinegar in the carafe. Pour this solution into the water reservoir and brew it through the coffee maker. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water afterward.
- Descaling Frequency: Descale your Izzy MILANO 6616S:
- At least every three months if you use soft water.
- At least once a month if you have hard water.
- Descaling Process for Liquid Descalers: Mix the descaler with cold water according to the descaler's instructions. Fill the water tank with the solution and run the brewing cycle. Follow by running fresh water through the machine to remove any remaining descaler residue.
By following these steps, your Izzy MILANO 6616S will continue to brew delicious coffee for years to come.
