• The milk frother must always be cleaned
after use. Proceed as follows:
• Release a little steam for a few seconds by
turning the steam knob anticlockwise until it
stops (Fig. 5).
With this operation, the steam spout dischar-
ges any milk that may be left inside. IMPOR-
TANT: For reasons of hygiene, this operation
should always be performed, so as to prevent
the milk from remaining in the circuits inside
the milk frother.
• Turn the steam knob clockwise as far as it will
go to stop the steam. Wait until the cappucci-
no tube is cool enough to touch, then with one
hand,, hold the cappuccino tube firmly and
with the other unscrew the cappuccino maker
itself by rotating clockwise and extracting
downwards (fig. 25).
• Remove the steam nozzle from the delivery
spout by pulling it downwards (Fig. 26).
• Carefully wash the milk frother and the steam
nozzle in warm water.
• Check that the two holes indicated by the
arrows in Fig. 27 are not clogged. If neces-
sary, clean them using a needle or pin.
• Replace the steam nozzle by inserting it and
firmly turning it upwards into the steam
spout.
• Replace the milk frother by pushing it
upwards and turning it anticlockwise.
