- It is recommended to purge and wipe the froth-
ing wand after steaming milk to prevent depos-
its of dirt and before turning off the machine.
- To do this, pull the frothing sleeve down and
clean under warm running water.
- Fill a cup with a bit of water, immerse the froth-
ing wand into the water.
- Drain hot water through the pipe, following the
instructions "Obtaining hot water".
- Use a cloth to dry the frothing wand and re-
place the frothing sleeve.
- In case no steam comes out of the frothing
wand, hardened milk blocks its path. Carefully
use a needle to loosen the milk residue from
the opening of the frothing tip to remove any
blockage,
- Once clean, rinse with running water from the
tap and reassemble it. Then steam again.
HOW TO DEAL WITH LIME SCALE
INCRUSTATIONS:
- For the appliance to work correctly it should be
kept free of lime scale or magnesium incrusta-
tions caused by the use of hard water.
- To prevent this kind of problem, we recommend
the use of water with low lime or magnesium
mineralisation.
- However, if it is not possible to use the kind of
water recommended above, you should period-
ically remove the lime scale from the appliance:
- Every 6 weeks if the water is "very hard".
- Every 12 weeks if the water is "hard".
- To do so, we recommend the use of a specific
Decal product for this kind of machine which
can be found in specialised shops and author-
ised technical services.
- Homemade solutions are not recommended
in the de-scaling of this appliance, such as the
use of vinegar.
