# Jura Cleaning: the tablet cycle is due

Coffee oils build up in the brewing path.

## What Cleaning actually means.

Coffee oils build up in the brewing path. The E8 counts drinks and switch-on rinses and asks for cleaning after 180 of one or 80 of the other. The program pauses partway and waits for the tablet.

What to do when Cleaning shows on the coffee machine

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

The machine is doing what it was set to do, not wearing out: a rinse that runs through the spouts at switch-on and switch-off, a descale or filter reminder counting the water that has passed through, an energy-save mode that darkens the screen after a quiet spell, or a demo mode left on from the showroom that lights the keys and pours nothing. No part is needed; finishing the cycle the display asks for, or a key sequence from the manual, ends it.

### Usually leads to No repair

Empty the drip tray and grounds container, and place a container under the coffee spout and the frother.

### Shows up as What a Coffee Machine Error Code or Warning Symbol Means

A coffee machine error code may show as a short string of letters and numbers, a flashing symbol for water, grounds or the brew unit, a short sentence on a text display, or a machine that stops with one light blinking.

### Make Jura

Jura coffee machines are fixed where they stand, and the visit opens with a look at the cleaning and filter history the owner can recall.

### Source JURA E8 instructions for use (North America)

E8 shows Cleaning in the Cockpit; ENA 8 shows the Cleaning the machine symbol.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Jura's own guidance for Cleaning on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Empty the drip tray and grounds container, and place a container under the coffee spout and the frother.

02

Start the cleaning from the Cockpit; when Add cleaning tablet appears, drop a Jura tablet into the filler funnel.

03

Let the program finish; if the message returns right after a completed cycle, book a visit.

### Cleared?

The message is gone, and the machine grinds, heats and pours a full cup again with no new part. If it comes back within the week, or the descale or filter reminder returns straight after a finished cycle, say so in the booking.

### What not to do

The prompt does not mean the brew unit is damaged. It also does not replace descaling, which is a separate program.

## What you may notice with it.

The coffee machine problems Cleaning tends to arrive with. Answer these at the coffee machine before anyone is booked.

## Nothing to repair.

The machine is doing what it was set to do, not wearing out: a rinse that runs through the spouts at switch-on and switch-off, a descale or filter reminder counting the water that has passed through, an energy-save mode that darkens the screen after a quiet spell, or a demo mode left on from the showroom that lights the keys and pours nothing.

## Questions about Cleaning.

### Can I clear Cleaning myself?

Empty the drip tray and grounds container, and place a container under the coffee spout and the frother.

### Why did my Jura stop partway through cleaning?

It is waiting for the cleaning tablet. Add it to the filler funnel and the program continues.

### Can I use other cleaning tablets in my Jura?

Jura asks for its own tablets and warns that other agents can damage the machine or leave residues.

### How often will my Jura ask for cleaning?

After 180 preparations or 80 switch-on rinses, whichever comes first.
