Daily maintenance

It is necessary to carry out the cleaning operations of the machine at least once a day for a correct functioning of the machine itself. The machine’s cleaning at the end of the working day guarantees a better performance and reliability of Microbar 2008 for the following day.
Group cleaning through a brush. Open the door and by using a small brush, clean the scales or the coffee residuals the piston and the chamber of the brewing group as well as all the other parts dirty of coffee. We suggest a particular care for the cleaning of the rear part of the paddle of the grounds expulsion.
Tray’s cleaning. Remove the grounds tray and clean all its components.
Complete washing cycle. The machine is equipped of an automatic washing cycle of the brewing group through tablets and of the milk circuit through detergent liquid. In the tank version, before the washing operation, it is necessary to check that the tank is completely filled with water. Place a recipient with one liter of water and plunge the sucking up pipe in it. Then add a dose of the specific product called “Pulimilk” for the milk circuit cleaning. Place a recipient under the brewing spout. Push the decaffeinated key until the display shows the “clean” sign. Open the access grinded coffee door and insert the tablet of the detergent called “Pulycaff” in it, then close the door and push the decaffeinated key again. During the washing the doses keys are disenabled. At the end of the washing, the display will show ‘rinse’ so it is necessary to remove the jug, wash and the fill it in again using fresh water; eventually push the “enter” key to re-start the washing. Wait until the sign “machine ready” is displayed.
Brewing spout and milk frothier disassembling cleaning. Extract all the brewing spout including the milk frothier by pulling it towards you and disconnect the pipes connected to it. Extract the milk frothier from the brewing spout by take it off upwards and then disassemble it in all its four parts and wash everything accurately. Then detach the milk pipe and the ‘T’ in plastic, extracting from outside and wash it. For reassembling the whole it is possible to comply with the directions and information stated on the rear part of the power panel

Boiler descaling

Bearing in mind the hardness of the water used, the number of drinks supplied daily and the quantity of water used on the whole, it is necessary to periodically perform a descaling cycle of the boilers group enabling to remove all the possible scales inside the boilers and the solenoid valves. In order to perform this operation it is necessary to place a jug under the hot water wand and fill the tank with about 3 liters of water and descaling liquid. Enter in the programming as described in the same chapter. Then select the “descaling” function, push the “enter” key, after that arrow down and push “enter” again to start the cycle. The liquid comes out from the hot water wand. The machine will suck up the first liter and half of water and then pause, with the display flashing, to eventually restart the sucking up phase until the liquid runs out and the message “fill tank in” appears. The tank must then be washed again and filled in with fresh water. As soon as the display shows the sign ‘rinse’ you can push the “enter” key. The machine will start the rinsing phase and at the end the display will show the writing “warming” and then “machine ready”.
