Check that you not only thoroughly wash all individual parts of the frothed milk spout
(Figure 2/N,O,P,R) but especially that you wash the knob for regulating the froth (Figure 11).
During the frothing procedure milk deposits can form in the crevice of the knob for regulating the
froth (Figure 11/”arrow”). As these deposits can impair the frothing result, we recommend that the
part indicated in the figure with an arrow should be cleaned particularly thoroughly. Finally, rinse
the parts with clear water and dry them. Do not wash these parts in a dishwasher as the seals can
be damaged.
Cleaning the drip grid and drip tray
The drip tray can easily be removed for cleaning. You can wash the drip tray and drip grid in
ordinary washing-up water.
Descaling – to keep your milk frothing machine in good condition for longer
The service life of your milk frothing machine can be lengthened with regular descaling. As a
precaution we recom-mend descaling every three months. For areas with hard water more
frequent dscaling is required. If a water filter is used the appliance needs to be descaled less
often. For descaling use a liquid, environmentally-friendly descaling agent available generally at
retail outlets. Only use it in accordance with the manu-facturer´s instructions. Do not use a formic
acid based descaler.
¾
Unplug the appliance from the mains and allow it to cool.
¾
Unscrew the steam nozzle (Figure 2/N) using the descaling nozzle supplied (turn anti-
clockwise) and replace it by serewing on the descaling nozzle (Figure 8 and 9).
¾
Place as large a receptacle as possible in the middle of the drip grid and beneath the descaling
nozzle.
Warning:
first fill the water tank with water and then add the appropriate amount of descaling
agent as recommended by the manufacturer. Never do this the other way round!
¾
Insert the mains plug into the socket, switch on the appliance using the on/off switch (Figure
1/A) and wait until the ready indicator (orange) is illuminated.
¾
Press the steam button for approx. 30 to 45 seconds and allow the descaling solution to run
through the system.
¾
Switch off the appliance using the on/off switch and leave the remaining descaling solution to
take effect for approx. 10 minutes.
¾
Repeat the procedure.
The water tank must be cleaned thoroughly to remove all traces of the descaling agent.
¾
Fill the water tank with fresh water.
¾
Allow half of the water to flow through as described above.
If there is heavy scaling repeat the descaling procedure.
¾
Leave the appliance to cool after decaling has been completed.
¾
Replace the decaling nozzle with the steam nozzle.
Check that the steam nozzle is fully screwed in place.
