Watch: X8 – Cleaning the milk system

Watch this first: JURA’s daily milk system clean for the X8.

How to clean the JURA X8 (daily)

What you’ll need:

  1. Pull out the drip tray. Empty the coffee grounds container and drip tray and rinse both with warm water, then refit them. (Empty the grounds container while the machine is on, so the counter resets.)
  2. Rinse the water tank and refill it with fresh, cold water.
  3. Clean the milk system: press Pc, then Clean the milk system, Start and Next. Add 1 dose of JURA milk system cleaner to the rear part of the container and press Next. Place the container under the dual spout, connect the milk pipe to it and press Next. It stops by itself when done.
  4. Take the milk pipe off and rinse it under running water.
  5. Dismantle and rinse the dual spout: pull the cover forwards and off, remove the milk system, take it apart and rinse all parts under running water. Put it back together, press it firmly into the spout, refit the cover and reconnect the milk pipe.
  6. Wipe the outside of the machine with a clean, soft, damp cloth.

JURA says to clean the milk system every day you’ve made milk drinks. Use only JURA maintenance products.

Cleaning the JURA X8 with a cleaning tablet

After 180 drinks or 80 switch-on rinses the X8 asks you to clean it. The program takes about 20 minutes – don’t interrupt it. You’ll need one JURA cleaning tablet.

  1. When Clean machine shows, press Pc, then Start and Next.
  2. Empty the drip tray and grounds container and refit them. Place a container under the dual spout and press Next.
  3. When it asks to Add cleaning tablet, open the cover behind the bean container, drop in one JURA cleaning tablet, close the cover and press Next.
  4. When it stops, empty the drip tray and grounds container again and refit them.

Descaling the JURA X8

If you use a CLARIS Pro Smart filter, the machine won’t ask you to descale. Without a filter, it will prompt you when needed. Descaling takes about 45 minutes and must not be interrupted. You’ll need 3 JURA descaling tablets.

  1. When Decalcify machine shows, press Pc, then Start and Next. Empty the drip tray and grounds container and refit them.
  2. Remove and empty the water tank. Fully dissolve 3 JURA descaling tablets in 600 ml of water, pour it into the tank and refit it.
  3. Place containers under the dual spout and the hot-water spout and press Next.
  4. When it stops, empty the drip tray and grounds container, rinse the water tank, fill it with fresh cold water and refit it. Put the containers back and press Next.
  5. When it stops again, empty the drip tray and grounds container. Descaling is complete.

Changing the CLARIS Pro Smart filter

When the machine asks you to change the filter: remove and empty the water tank, open the filter holder, take out the old CLARIS Pro Smart cartridge and push in a new one. Close the holder, fill the tank with fresh cold water and refit it. The machine detects the new filter and rinses it, then asks you to empty the drip tray. Order a CLARIS Pro Smart filter.
