Cleaning the steam wand
To ensure the best hygiene conditions, we recommend
cleaning the parts that come into contact with milk
immediately after use.
Caution
The steam wand is hot after dispensing steam.
•Remove the cap from the steam wand by pulling the
cap downwards
(Fig.21)
•Loosen the knurled ring on the inner hose and remove
the hose by pulling it down.
(Fig.22)
•Clean the steam wand. If the nozzle is clogged, free
the hole using a needle or similar object.
•Thoroughly clean the hose and cap with hot water.
Hose and cap are not dishwasher safe.
Rinse both parts thoroughly under running water and then
dry.
Note:
Make sure the lateral hole of the steam wand is not
clogged
(Fig. 23)
Poke it clear with a needle if necessary.
•Reinstall both parts. Installation is the reverse procedure
of removal.
Finally, check for proper installation
De-scaling
Caution
By de-scaling the machine at regular intervals, you will ensure longer machine durability. Moreover,
a regularly de-scaled machine reduces power consumption.
How often the machine needs to be de-scaled depends on how often it is used and on water
hardness.
Contact the competent local board to find out the water hardness level in your area.
The machine should be de-scaled when you notice a general slowing down paired with unusual
noises.
Notice
•Use a commercially available de-scaling fluid that is environmentally-friendly and suitable for
automatic coffee machines.
• Follow the manufacturer’s directions on the package.
• Another environmentally friendly method of de-scaling your coffee machine consists in using a
mix of water and citric acid or water and vinegar.
• Do not use formic-acid-based de-scaling agents
