Mahlkoenig K30 Vario [14/24] Cleaning

8. Cleaning

You should clean your espresso grinder regularly, just like your

espresso machine. Grind-on-demand grinders in particular have

to be kept clean and residue free in order to ensure dosing accu-

racy for every shot and every customer.

8.1 Cleaning with GRINDZ™ grinder cleaner

We recommend cleaning your espresso grinder once every 1-2

weeks (every 25 kg) with our GRINDZ™ Grinder Cleaner.

For cleaning your grinder with GRINDZ™, just follow the steps

below:

• Close the hopper slider and grind the remaining coffee out of

the grinder casing.

• Take off the hopper.

• Fill 35 grams of GRINDZ™ directly into the grinder casing (con-

tent of one sachet or one can’s lid).

• Reposition the hopper on the grinder.

• Adjust the ﬁneness to coarse (for a better cleaning effect of the

GRINDZ™-particles).

• Start the grinder and grind through all GRINDZ™ into your

port-a-ﬁlter or a seperate bin (several shots needed).

• Open the hopper slider and grind appr. 2 - 3 double shots of

coffee in order to purge the residues of GRINDZ™ out of the

disc casing.

Formation of dust while grinding GRINDZ is

natural and harmless. The dust particles can be

cleaned with a soft cloth from the aroma fez and

the spout.

8.2 Cleaning the grinder placement surface

Pull out the mains plug!

• Lift the grinder aside and clean the area on which it stands and

the bottom of its base.

• Both surfaces must be dry and free of oil and grease.

• Reposition the grinder

8.3 Cleaning the grinder casing

From time to time clean the outside of the casing and the drip

tray (pos.17) using a damp cloth.

8.4 Cleaning of the hopper

The hopper should be cleaned daily with a damp cloth inside and

outside in order to remove coffee and oil residues which could

negatively inﬂuence the taste in the cup.

Do not clean the drip tray or the hopper in the

dish-washer. Its colour might fade.
