Machine produces a sour or musty smell from the spout or inside the lid.

Safety first: Unplug the machine before deep cleaning.

• Clean removable parts: Wash the pod holder, drip tray, and water tank with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
• Clean brew head: Wipe the rubber seal and surrounding area with a damp cloth. Use a food‑safe cleaner if needed.
• Run cleaning cycles: Run several cycles with just water to flush the internal lines.
• Descale: Perform a descaling cycle to remove internal deposits that can trap odors.
• Dry between uses: Leave the lid open when not in use to allow the brew head to dry.
