Problems when heating up or frothing milk
Problem Possible cause and remedy
The milk sputters when
it is dispensed. Hissing
noises can be heard
when milk is being
heated up or frothed.
Although the milk
should be frothed, only
hot milk is dispensed
from the central spout.
The milk temperature is too high. Good milk froth can
only be achieved when cold milk (< 10 °C) is used.
 Check the temperature in the milk flask.
The milk flask has not been fitted correctly and so air
as well as milk is being sucked in.
 Push the milk flask in until it clicks into position.
The central spout is not fitted correctly.
 Check whether the central spout has been assem‐
bled correctly.
The milk pipework in the milk flask lid is dirty.
 Dismantle the milk flask lid and clean it with the
cleaning brush (see "Cleaning and care – Milk
flask").
 Clean the central spout and the milk valve with the
cleaning brush (see "Central spout" and "Mainte‐
nance of the milk valve").
The angled connector is blocked and must be re‐
placed.
 Replace the angled connector (see "Replacing the
angled connector").
Fill and insert milk flask ap‐
pears in the display
even though the milk
flask has been filled and
inserted in the machine.
The milk flask lid could be dirty. Therefore, the sens‐
ing mechanism doesn't function correctly.
 Clean the milk flask lid and the milk flask thor‐
oughly. Dismantle the lid and clean it with the
cleaning brush supplied (see "Cleaning and care –
Milk flask and lid").
