Once installed, the shower disc operates as an integral part of your coffee machine's brewing system. Its primary function is to evenly distribute hot water over the ground coffee, which is essential for optimal flavor extraction. No specific user interaction is required with the disc itself during normal operation.

• Ensure the disc is clean and free from blockages before each use to maintain consistent water flow.
• If you notice uneven coffee extraction or a change in coffee flavor, inspect the shower disc for potential issues.

Regular cleaning of the shower disc is vital for maintaining the performance and longevity of your coffee machine and ensuring the best coffee quality.

2. Sedmično čišćenje: If your machine allows for easy removal of the shower disc without full brew group disassembly, remove it and rinse under warm running water. Use a soft brush (like a toothbrush) to gently scrub away any stubborn coffee oils or grounds from the perforations.
3. Deep Cleaning (Monthly/Bi-monthly): For a more thorough cleaning, the disc can be soaked in a solution of warm water and a mild coffee machine cleaning tablet or descaling solution (follow the cleaner's instructions). Ensure to rinse thoroughly afterwards to remove all cleaning agent residues.
4. Ponovna instalacija: Always ensure the disc is completely dry before reinstalling it into the brew group.

If you encounter issues after installing the new shower disc, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Uneven Water Flow / Poor Extraction:
  • Check if the shower disc is installed correctly and seated flush.
  • Inspect the perforations for any blockages from coffee grounds or mineral deposits. Clean as per the Maintenance section.
  • Ensure the central screw (if applicable) is tightened appropriately, but not overtightened.
• Leaks from the Brew Group:
  • Verify that the shower disc is correctly installed and that any associated gaskets or O-rings (if present and part of the assembly) are properly seated and not damaged.
  • Ensure all components of the brew group are reassembled tightly.
• Nema protoka vode:
  • This is rarely caused by the shower disc itself unless it is severely blocked. Check other components of your coffee machine's water system (e.g., water tank, pump, other filters).
