Cleaning your PerfectDraft machine regularly is important to ensure that your beer stays fresh and delicious. Follow these tips to keep your machine clean and running smoothly.

Rinse the tap unit every few days:

Over time, beer can build up in the tap unit, affecting the taste of your beer. To prevent this from happening, give the tap unit a quick rinse every few days. Simply detach the tap unit from the machine, remove the medallions and rinse it under warm water. Be sure to dry it thoroughly before reattaching it to the machine.

Clean the drip tray:

The drip tray is where any excess beer or foam is collected, so it's important to clean it regularly. To clean the drip tray, remove it from the machine and wash it with warm, soapy water. If there is a lot of build-up, you can also use a brush to scrub away any stubborn residue. Once clean, dry the drip tray thoroughly and replace it back in the machine.

Use a descaler:

Over time, limescale can build up in your PerfectDraft machine, affecting its performance and the taste of your beer. To prevent this from happening, use a descaler every few months. Follow the instructions on the descaler to ensure that you are using it correctly and safely.

Clean the exterior:

The exterior of your PerfectDraft machine can also collect dust and grime, so it's important to give it a wipe down every once in a while. Use a soft cloth dampened with water or a mild cleaning solution to clean the outside of the machine. Avoid using abrasive or harsh cleaners, as they can damage the machine's surface.

Clean the door seal: The door seal of PerfectDraft is crucial for cooling performance. It should never be dirty, sticky or damaged. Take extra care when cleaning the door seal.

Clean the air vents: Use a brush or vacuum cleaner to clear out the vents at the rear of the machine.

By following these simple tips, you can keep your PerfectDraft machine clean and running smoothly, ensuring that you always have a delicious, fresh-tasting beer to enjoy.
