Maintenance
How to look after your R9V
A commercial machine with 1–3 groups, such as the Rocket Boxer, La Nuova Era Altea or Elektra, runs for many hours a day. Backflush each group with cleaning detergent at closing, clean the steam wands and the drain daily, and always run it on filtered water. Here is the schedule and the products we recommend.
Good to know about the Rocket R9V
Rocket specifies a 20–25 minute warm-up. Programme automatic start and stop on the touchscreen.
Rocket does not recommend descaling. Never run the machine on water harder than 7 °fH.
The machine has five pre-programmed pressure profiles and a semi-automatic profile that you select per group.

The right water protects your machine
The target is 2–4 °dH. Replace the cartridge according to its capacity, but at least every 12 months, and measure the hardness after the filter.

Your R9V has a rotary pump and can be connected directly to the mains water supply. We recommend BWT Bestmax with an installation kit.
