We get asked this question often enough to prompt us to write a quick guide on a basic preventative maintenance for the Mahlkonig E65S grinder.
There are few recommended spare parts that you will require all of which will have a link to our site.
The cleaning process:
1. CLEANING: Always unplug the coffee grinder before cleaning.
• Apply dry cleaning only. If necessary use suitable mild „dish“washer detergent
• No alkaline cleaning agent must be used for cleaning (affects-flavour)
• Do not spray coffee grinder with water and/or steam (risk of short circuit)
• Clean your grinder periodically, at least once a week.
• Please use GRINDZ Tablets
Cleaning of housing:
• Use paper towel along with mild dish washer detergent to clean the housing, cover lid and inside the hopper
Cleaning of spout tube:
• Use a vacuum cleaner to exhaust the discharge tube. The use of brushes can lead to the damage of the built-in flappers resulting in a an inaccurate grinding result.
Periodic checking of the grinder, burrs and grinding quality must only be performed by competent service personnel and/or trained staff.
2. ROUTINE CHECK:
Indications:
