8. After some seconds, turn the hot water/steam switch back to the vertical position
to stop the function.
9. If required, repeat the steps 4 to 8.

ing instruction.
Soaking the Steam Wand
1. Leave the steam wand cool down completely.
2. If required, remove the stainless steel sleeve by pulling the stainless steel sleeve
down, slightly turning the stainless steel sleeve to and fro.
3. Unscrew the steam wand tip. The steam wand tip is mounted via a right-hand
thread as almost any other threaded nut. Ensure to turn the steam wand tip in
the correct direction.
4. Fill a high vessel with hot dishwater and insert the stainless steel sleeve and
steam wand tip into the dishwater. By placing the vessel onto the drip tray, insert
the steam wand shaft into the dishwater, too. Soak for approx. 20 minutes.
Note
With extremely stubborn residues in the interior of the steam wand, you may solve
a Gastroback cleaning tab (Art.-Nr. 97830) in approx. 200 ml hot water and
soak all parts of the steam wand in this solution.
5. Thereafter, hold the steam wand tip and stainless steel sleeve up to the light to
check whether the interior of these parts is completely clean. If required, remove
any residues in the opening of the steam wand tip via the coarse pin of the clea-
ning tool (labelled as STEAM). You may use a clean pipe-cleaner for removing
any residues from the interior of the steam wand tip. Clean the interior of the
stainless steel sleeve via a small bottle brush.
6. Wipe the steam wand shaft via a soft, moist cloth to remove any residues of milk.
7. Discard the dishwater. Rinse the steam wand tip and stainless steel sleeve tho-
roughly under running tap water.
8. Switch on the appliance and wait until the power button is illuminated continuously.
9. Ensure that the steam wand shaft points at the drip tray. Turn the hot water/
steam switch clockwise to give off some hot water for purging the steam wand
shaft. After a few seconds, turn the hot water/steam switch back to the vertical
position.
