Maintenance
How to look after your Pro 400
A heat exchanger machine without an E61 group, such as the Profitec Pro 400 or Stone Mine, needs a cooling flush before brewing, regular backflushing if it has a three-way valve and a new group gasket about once a year. Here is the schedule and the products we recommend.
Good to know about the Profitec Pro 400
Profitec specifies about 25 minutes depending on room temperature. ECO mode switches off the heating after 90 minutes without use.
A scaled-up machine may only be descaled by the retailer, as the boiler may need to be dismantled. Keep the water below 4 °dH.
Backflush with a blind basket and group cleaning detergent roughly every 90 to 140 cups.

Water and filters
The right water protects your machine
The target is 2–4 °dH, but follow the manual if the manufacturer specifies a different range. Do not use distilled water; the machine needs minerals for the level sensor to work.
Water tank
The Pro 400 runs from a water tank. Use an in-tank filter and replace it every 2–3 months.
