Lubricant for seals of the combustion unit for coffee machines

Genuine non-toxic petroleum jellyDeLonghi SER0354 designed primarily for use in espresso machines is also suitable for the maintenance of common food equipment with the ability to operate over a wide temperature range.

Most equipment such as Krups, Delonghi, Saeco, Breville, Philips, Saeco, Jura, Sunbeam and other coffee machines have high maintenance requirements that you can do yourself at home. Most manufacturers sell own-brand lubricants exclusively for this purpose. Lubricating o-rings and seals during a service intervention allows the components to be properly treated and reassembled as required. Proper and regular treatment reduces friction where the surfaces are compressed, greatly extending the life of these components and preventing future seal cracking, which can be very detrimental to your equipment.

Coffee bean brewing equipment should be re-greased every 6 months. Inadequate lubrication often manifests itself in a squeaking, cracking or squealing sound randomly coming from the brewing unit. As soon as these problems occur, it's time to perform a home service. Inadequate care of "critical" mechanical components will almost certainly lead to their premature failure.

In any case, it is essential to follow the maintenance guidelines for your equipment that are recommended by each of the manufacturers of these devices. These instructions can be found in your equipment's manual. Some components require lubricant, others operate dry.
