CARE & CLEANING

CLEANING THE CONICAL BURR GRINdER

This grinder cleaning cycle removes oil build-up on the burrs which can impede 

performance.

CLEANING THE STEAM WANd ANd FROTHING ATTACHMENT

• 

The steam wand and frothing 

attachment should always be cleaned 

after texturing milk. 

• 

Remove the frothing attachment and 

rinse in warm tap water. 

• 

Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth, 

and then with the steam wand directed 

back into the drip tray, briefly set the 

steam dial to the STEAM position. This 

will clear any remaining milk from 

inside the steam wand. 

• 

Ensure the steam dial is in the STANDBy 

position. Press the POWER button to Off 

and allow the machine to cool.

• 

If the steam wand remains blocked,  

use the pin on the cleaning tool to clear 

the opening.

• 

If the steam wand continues to be 

blocked, the tip of the steam wand can 

be removed by using the spanner in the 

middle of the cleaning tool.

• 

Unscrew the tip with the cleaning tool.

• 

Soak the tip in hot water before using 

the pin on the cleaning tool to unblock. 

Replace the tip back onto the steam 

wand and secure with the cleaning tool.
