How should I clean the Flair PRO 2 after brewing?
Flair’s PRO2 support guide says to remove the brew head and wipe the press stand after each use, paying special attention to the copper portafilter holder. It also says not to use cleaning products or chemicals; rinse the portafilter and dry the plunger after cleaning.
Which PRO 2 brew-head parts need routine cleaning?
After use, rinse the dispersion screen with high pressure, knock out the puck, and rinse the portafilter under the faucet. The brew-head cylinder can be wiped inside after removing the plunger, while the plunger should be rinsed, dried, and lightly lubricated with food-safe oil if needed for smooth travel.
What warranty does the Flair PRO 2 have?
Flair’s PRO Family Warranty covers the PRO 2 press stand, brewing cylinder, and stainless-steel plunger against functional defects for five years from the purchase date when used according to the operating instructions. Wear-prone parts, including O-rings, the dispersion screen, silicone sleeves, piston stem, and portafilter, have one year of coverage.
What pressure-gauge care is required to preserve the PRO 2 warranty?
Flair states that the PRO 2 pressure gauge is sensitive to impact and must remain dry outside at all times. The manufacturer warns that failing to follow this requirement will void warranty claims, so the gauge should be protected from impacts and kept dry during cleaning and use.
Can I replace the PRO 2 brew head instead of replacing the whole machine?
Yes. Flair lists a complete PRO 2 Brewing Head as a replacement or upgrade, allowing the brew head assembly to be replaced separately from the machine. The listing says it works with an existing PRO and with pro-enabled Signature or Classic models, but it is not compatible with the NEO.
