Coffee-oil cleaning
Ninja cleaning tablets (XSKCLNTBL8PK)
Use with the cleaning disc according to the ES600-series manual. The manufacturer’s description identifies coffee-residue and oil cleaning, even where a shop heading calls these “descaling tablets.”
These packets are the separate mineral-removal product. Follow the ES601 instructions and current packet directions for mixing, reservoir filling and rinsing.
