Care
- Cleaning: Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth. The drip tray and pod holder are removable and can be washed with warm, soapy water.
- Descaling: Descale the machine every 3-4 months, or when the descaling indicator lights up. Follow the instructions in the user manual, using a descaling solution designed for pod coffee machines.
