CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Two habits keep it pouring clean.

A quick daily check and one deep clean a week. That's it. Here's exactly what each one involves.

IMPORTANT

Before you do anything

Do not run hot water through the system.
Do not leave containers empty for long periods of time - always keep water or a beverage in them.
Do not adjust air pressure or infusers without speaking to the store manager or contacting QDS.

Every Day

Daily cleaning

1

WIPE DOWN EXTERIOR

Clean and sanitize the surface

Clean stainless steel surfaces with a microfiber cloth and mild cleaner.
Sanitize tap handles and drip trays.

2

FLUSH LINES · COLD WATER ONLY

Rinse until it runs clear

Fill a clean 3-gallon jug with cold water; place all draw tubes into the jug.
Run water through each faucet until flow runs completely clear.
Continue for an additional 30 seconds to fully rinse the system.

3

CHECK AIR COMPRESSOR

Confirm it's cycling normally

Use caution connecting or disconnecting fittings - high pressure is dangerous.
The compressor cycles periodically, usually after every ~5–6 drinks - this is normal.
If it runs more frequently than expected, contact QDS.

Every 7 Days

Weekly deep clean

Takes about 20 minutes, most of it hands-off while the cleaner soaks.

Before You Begin

Remove all faucet tips and clean before flushing the beverage lines, and keep them off for the entire cleaning, rinsing, and sanitizing process. This lets loosened coffee grounds and debris pass freely through the lines instead of getting trapped in the diffuser discs.

1

Mix the Cleaner

Urnex Clearly Cold™ liquid cleaner

Dilute approx. ¾ oz per 3 gallons of cold water in the designated cleaning container - fill with water first, then add cleaner. Do NOT use hot water or powder-based cleaner.

2

Soak

Circulate and let it sit

Flush the solution through the lines and allow it to soak for up to 15 minutes.

3

Rinse

Flush twice with clean cold water

Continue until no residue remains.

4

Sanitize

Urnex Complete Café™ sanitizer

Mix ¾ oz per 3 gallons of water - fill the vessel with water first. Flush through the lines, then do a final rinse with clean water.
