3. Empty the water tank. Pull out the water filter.
4. Wash the water tank with warm dishwater and a soft nylon brush.
5. After cleaning, thoroughly rinse the water tank with clear tap water. Wipe dry
the exterior of the water tank.
Note: Regularly you should use a new water filter (see: ‘Descaling the Appliance’).
6. If you wish to use the appliance shortly after cleaning, replace the water filter.
Then fill the water tank up to the MAX filling level.
7. If the appliance will be not in use for an elongated time, wipe dry even the inte-
rior of the water tank and, with the lid open, leave the water tank dry naturally
for at least 1 hour. This will prevent a stale taste of the water, when the machine
is used again.
8. Hold the water tank by the water tank lid and let the water tank slide down at
the rear of the machine (see: ‘Operation / Filling the Water Tank’). Close the
water tank lid and gently push down the water tank. The valve at the bottom of
the water tank opens automatically.
CLEANING THE STEAM WAND
WARNING – Risk of Burns! During use and even shortly thereafter, hot
water and steam could escape from the steam wand and the metal parts of the
steam wand may be hot. Do not touch the metal parts of the steam wand with your
skin or any delicate objects, while the steam wand is still hot. Ensure to turn the
steam wand to the drip tray or in a suited vessel, when the steam wand is not in
use.
Immediately after texturing milk, wipe residues of milk from the steam wand (see
below: ‘Immediately After Use’). Additionally, for ensuring long-lasting high perfor-
mance of the steam wand and avoiding a stale odour and taste of the textured milk,
regularly follow the instructions on thorough cleaning of the steam wand (see: ‘Clea-
ning the Steam Wand Thoroughly’).
IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE
IMPORTANT - After texturing milk, always immediately wipe off residues of milk
from the steam wand. Otherwise, the texturing performance may be affected due
to residues of fat and proteins on the steam wand and/or blockage of the steam
nozzle (small opening) within the steam wand tip. Dried-on milk residues may cau-
se a stale taste of the milk.
NOTE
You reduce the risk that residues of milk dry on the surfaces and block the steam
nozzle, when inserting the steam wand in a high vessel filled with clear water,
while the steam wand is not in use.
1. Carefully wipe the steam wand tip using a soft moist cloth. Ensure not to touch
the metal parts of the steam wand with your skin.
2. By the handle, turn the steam wand to the drip tray.
3. Repeatedly turn the selection dial counter-clockwise and back for purging the
steam wand via some short steam blasts. Then turn the selection dial back to the
central standby position.
NOTE
When texturing milk, even with the nozzle blocked only partially the ability of the
steam wand to satisfyingly texture milk may be affected. If the water only drips
from the steam wand, the nozzle in the steam wand tip may be clogged. Proceed
according to the following instructions to remove the obstacle. However, in any
case, you should perform thorough cleaning regularly (see: ‘Cleaning the Steam
Wand Thoroughly’).
CLEANING THE STEAM WAND THOROUGHLY
NOTE
For maintaining a good performance and avoiding a stale taste of the milk, we
recommend to perform the following method at least at the end of the day.
1. Switch off and unplug the appliance. Leave the steam wand cool down com-
pletely.
2. Turn off the steam wand tip.
3. Fill some hot dishwater into a vessel and insert the steam wand into the dishwa-
ter. Leave the steam wand soak for 10-20 minutes.
