The KF8 includes a Bean Hopper Auto Purge function that clears remaining beans from the grinder before switching to a new variety. This helps maintain flavour consistency and prevents old beans mixing with fresh ones.

If you need a finer or coarser grind, only make adjustments while the grinder is operating. Changing the grind setting when the burrs are stationary can place unnecessary strain on the adjustment mechanism.

The automatic milk system should be cleaned after preparing milk-based drinks. Regular cleaning removes milk residue, maintains frothing performance and helps prevent blockages.

The KF8 monitors water filter life and will remind you when replacement is due. Installing a fresh filter helps reduce limescale, improves water quality and extends the time between descaling cycles.

Do not ignore descaling reminders. Running the guided descaling programme helps protect the heating system, maintain brewing temperatures and ensure reliable water flow.

Remove the brew unit periodically and rinse it under clean running water. Allow it to dry naturally before refitting. Regular cleaning helps ensure smooth brewing and reduces coffee residue build-up.
