Cleaning
10 Cleaning
Regularly clean your Tassimo machine to ensure best results;
a simple cleaning schedule (every two days) will keep your Tassimo
machine working at full potential. Always unplug the appliance
before cleaning. Never immerse the appliance in water. Never use
abrasive cleaning products or scouring materials on any part of the
Tassimo machine. All the removable pieces are dishwasher safe
except the water container which must be hand washed.
Machine Exterior
The outside of the machine should be wiped down as necessary with a damp soft
cloth and washing up liquid. Always hand wash the water container.
It is normal for the removable drip tray to collect water during the brewing process:
regularly check the water level in the drip tray and empty it when it fills or at least
once a day. The drip tray, cup stand, and splashback should be removed and
cleaned; the splashback should be securely positioned before reinserting the drip
tray and cup stand.
Machine Interior and Brew Mechanism
The inside of the brew mechanism should be wiped with a damp soft cloth and
washing up liquid. A specially developed cleaning tool is included for cleaning the
bar code reading window. Clean the window on a regular basis to ensure that
the Tassimo machine can clearly read the bar code on the T-DISC.
The piercing unit and T-DISC holder are easily removable and are dishwasher safe.
Separate the piercing unit into two parts to clean it. The piercing unit can be quickly
rinsed between beverages if desired.
You can use the cleaning disc to flush the inside of the machine between drinks.
Simply place the cleaning disc on the T-DISC holder, firmly close the brew
mechanism and run clean water into an empty cup as described in “Preparing Your
Machine for Use”. This process should also be followed if the machine has been left
unused for more than two days.
After using a milk or chocolate* T-DISC, it is recommended that you first rinse the
piercing unit and then flush the machine using the cleaning disc.
Descaling
Descaling 11
Descale your Tassimo machine every three months to keep it
operating at full potential.
Descaling products are widely available from stores selling coffee makers and espresso
machines. Only use a product intended for descaling. Mix the descaling product
directly in the water container, following the instructions provided on the descaling
packaging. Replace the water container on the machine.
Place a large cup or mug on the cup stand, insert the cleaning disc barcode down
and close the brew mechanism. When the AUTO light illuminates press and release the
start/stop button. The brew cycle will fill the machine with descaling solution. Empty the
cup and let the machine stand for 15 minutes.
Open the brew mechanism and close it again leaving the cleaning disc in place.
When the AUTO light illuminates press and release the start/stop button. When the
machine stops running, empty the cup and let the machine stand for 15 minutes.
Repeat this step two more times for maximum descaling effectiveness. Discard the
remaining descaling agent from the water container, rinse it thoroughly and refill
with fresh cold water.
Open and close the brew mechanism again leaving the cleaning disc in place. When
the AUTO light illuminates press and hold the start/stop button to flush water
through the machine. The MANUAL light will illuminate. When the cup is full, release the
start/stop button and empty the cup. Replace the cup and press and hold the
start/stop button to continue flushing until the water container is empty. Refill the
water container with fresh cold water and repeat this step.
Remove the cleaning disc, rinse and refill the water container. Your machine is now
ready to use.
