How to clean the Franke A600 FM (daily)

What you’ll need:

  1. Tap the Franke logo at the top left of the screen, enter your cleaning PIN and press OK. (Don’t know your PIN? Call us.)
  2. Select Cleaning and maintenance, then Clean coffee machine, and press Yes to start.
  3. Follow each instruction on the screen and press Next after each step. The screen tells you when to insert the Franke cleaning tablet and when to add the Franke milk cleaner.
  4. Clean the parts the screen asks you to remove using Franke’s 5-step method: brush off coarse dirt, soak in hot water with a mild cleaner (brush the inside of the milk hose), wash, rinse thoroughly and dry. The parts are not dishwasher-safe.
  5. Clean by hand: the inside of the fridge, the door seal, the milk container and lid, and the milk suction hose.
  6. Take the milk out and keep it in a fridge when the machine won’t be used for a while, e.g. overnight.

Keep your hands away from the spouts while it cleans – hot water and steam come out. Automatic rinses don’t replace the daily clean. Franke says to clean at least once a day, and more often if needed.

Weekly cleaning

  • Wipe the outside of the machine with a damp cloth (a mild cleaner is fine – nothing abrasive).
  • Clean the bean hopper and powder hopper with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Don’t get the bean hopper wet, and make sure it’s completely dry before refitting.
  • Clean any part straight away if it looks dirty or blocked.

Water filter

Franke machines use a water filter to keep scale down. If your machine asks for a filter change, or you’re not sure which filter you need, call us on 1300 357 575 and we’ll sort it out.
