Monthly Cleaning

Monthly cleaning of Concordia machines is important to prevent damage from build-up. 

  • Checking the air filter - Check the air filter for dust and grime build-up. If the filter is dirty or damaged, it needs to be cleaned or replaced.  
  • Clean the bean hopper - Place a hopper stopper into the bean hopper and remove the bean hopper. Clean the inside of both bean hopper compartments with warm soapy water, and rinse thoroughly. Dry the inside of the hopper and refill it. Once back in place, remove the stopper.
  • Replace the Upper Piston O-Ring (Integra Models) - Be sure to replace the o-ring every 5,000 drinks. Start by opening the doors and brushing the upper piston and o-ring area. Press both sides of the o-ring and pull it towards you. Press down on the exposed edge and roll the o-ring down and off of the upper piston. Once the o-ring is fully removed, clean the piston and o-ring groove. Position a new o-ring around the bottom of the piston and roll it up and into place in the groove. Make sure it is snugly in place. Once the o-ring is replaced, reset the o-ring counter.
