Coffee machine not performing? ☕
Don't let it turn into a bitter situation! 😂
Regular maintenance is the key to avoiding bad coffee and expensive repairs. Here are some pro tips to keep your machine in top shape:
* Clean that steam wand after every use by giving it a quick steam purge and a wipe down with a damp cloth - no one likes milk residue buildup!
* Give your Group Head some TLC by running a quick water burst through it before and after brewing to remove coffee grounds and oils.
* Don't forget to wash that Water Reservoir monthly, soap and all!
* Every 2 months, it's descaling time! Use a solution to remove those pesky mineral deposits.
* And finally, schedule a pro servicing every 12-18 months to replace those internal seals, check the boiler pressure, and make sure everything is running smoothly.
Your coffee machine (and your taste buds) will thank you! ☕️

Did you know we offer Test & Tag for portable electrical appliances?
Testing applies to any device that has a flexible cable, a removable plug, and operates above low voltage (exceeding 50V).
The frequency of Test & Tag depends on the item's use and is a crucial part of due diligence in case of a workplace (or household) accident.
There are 3 parts to the Test & Tag process:
1. Visual Inspection: Checking for nicks, frays, damaged cords, loose pins, or internal discolouration from heat. Up to 80% of faults are caught during this phase.
2. Electrical Testing: A specialized Portable Appliance Tester (PAT) checks earth continuity, polarity, and insulation resistance.
3. Tagging: Compliant items receive a safety tag noting the test date, technician name, and retest due date. Non-compliant items are labelled with a "DANGER / FAILED" tag and removed from service.

Call us today to arrange testing of your portable electrical appliance!

Electric blankets are a common cause of house fires during the winter months, particularly when blankets become worn or damaged.
Having your electric blanket tested is a simple step that can help protect your home and whānau from fire risk.

Electric Blanket Safety Tips:
* Replace your electric blanket every five years with newer heat-protected models, which are safer.
* If your electric blanket appears worn, have it checked.
* Don’t place heavy objects on the bed while the blanket is switched on.
* Make sure the blanket lies flat on the bed and that controls or cords are not twisted or caught between the mattress and the base of the bed. Twisted cords are a common cause of electric blanket fires.
* Roll your blanket when storing it for summer. Avoid folding it, as sharp bends can damage the internal wiring

Contact us today to get your electric blanket tested & sleep safe Whanganui!
