Lavazza coffee machine care guides

Don't assume every A Modo Mio machine uses the same descaling sequence.

The Deséa, Idola, Jolie, Tiny and other machines have different controls and operating sequences, so use the procedure written for your particular machine.

Scale develops gradually. If the first sign that the machine needs maintenance is severely reduced water flow, the water circuit may already contain substantial deposits.

Regular preventative descaling is preferable to waiting until the machine struggles to dispense.

Used capsules retain coffee and water.

Allowing them to accumulate increases the amount of moisture and coffee residue sitting inside the machine. Empty the capsule container regularly and clean the surrounding removable components.

Refresh the water regularly rather than continually topping up old water.

Remove and rinse the tank periodically and check that the tank and its connection remain clean. Correct tank installation is particularly important because several Lavazza troubleshooting procedures identify an incorrectly fitted tank as a cause of water-delivery problems.

If your Lavazza prepares milk drinks, don't leave milk residue until the next deep clean.

Milk deposits become more difficult to remove once dry. Cleaning the milk-contact components immediately after preparing drinks makes routine maintenance much easier.

The capsule area contains the components responsible for holding and opening the capsule while hot water passes through it.

If a capsule becomes trapped, use the normal lever and capsule-ejection procedure. Don't insert knives, needles or other tools into the brewing mechanism.
