Keep your Bartscher KV1 running smoothly with a simple daily routine for the Trester-Auswurfschacht. Learn the steps to clean the puck chute and grounds bin without mistakes.
Quick answer
Clean the Bartscher Trester-Auswurfschacht KV1 daily by emptying the external puck container, wiping the chute, and checking for residue. This prevents clogs and keeps your KV1 Classic or KV1 Comfort running efficiently.
Why the Trester-Auswurfschacht changes your cleaning routine
The Bartscher Trester-Auswurfschacht KV1 is an accessory that replaces the need to empty the internal trester container of the KV1. Instead, used coffee pucks are ejected directly into an external container. This reduces labor and increases throughput, but it also means you need to clean the chute and the external container regularly to avoid buildup and odors.
Daily vs. weekly care: what to prioritize
Daily attention should focus on emptying the external puck container and wiping the chute to prevent clogs. Weekly, do a deeper clean of the chute and container with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch surfaces. If you notice pucks sticking or increased resistance, clean more thoroughly.
Daily cleaning steps for the Trester-Auswurfschacht KV1
- Empty the external puck container: Remove the external container from the chute and empty the used coffee pucks into a waste bin. Rinse the container with warm water if needed. Check that no pucks remain stuck at the bottom.
- Wipe the chute opening: Use a damp cloth to wipe the inside and edges of the chute where pucks exit. Remove any coffee residue or oils. Avoid pushing cloth deep into the chute; a surface wipe is enough.
- Inspect for clogs or moisture: Look through the chute to ensure it is clear. If you see moisture, dry it with a cloth to prevent mold. A clogged chute can cause pucks to back up into the machine.
- Reassemble and test: Place the container back under the chute. Run a rinse cycle or brew a test coffee to confirm pucks eject smoothly. Listen for unusual sounds that might indicate misalignment.
