Care Instructions
The manufacturer does not provide detailed washing or cleaning instructions. We therefore recommend wiping the outside and inside by hand with a soft cloth and keeping rails, rubber parts, and ventilation openings free from coffee residues. It is also wise to avoid harsh cleaning agents on walnut handles and on the rubber parts. If you are looking for a completely maintenance-free solution, it is worth knowing that this model is built for long life but benefits most from regular, gentle hand cleaning.
