MILK CONTAINER MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

The milk container and the cappuccinatore have been designed to optimize the milk froth.
Thorough cleaning and maintenance of the milk container and cappuccinatore will allow you to savour excellent milk-based beverages.

It is recommended to rinse the cappuccinatore before the first daily dispensing of milk-based products and however to wash it thoroughly at least once a week.

If you notice a reduction in the milk froth, simply turn the flow regulator as shown in the figure.

Turn the regulator 2-3 times to perform quick maintenance.

Note: if the adjusting device installed is missing, replace it with the adjusting device supplied with the cappuccinatore maintenance kit.

WASHING TO STORE THE CONTAINER IN THE MACHINE.

After using milk to prepare beverages, the container may be stored in the machine only if it has been washed with fresh drinking water. These few simple steps guarantee that the machine will operate properly.

Pour any extra milk into a container.

Rinse all the parts in contact with milk with lukewarm water.

Dry and replace the milk container into the compartment.

MAINTENANCE OF O-RING FOR MILK CONTAINER

In the machine there is an O-ring which guarantees the correct operation of the milk container.

Every 6 months, remove the water tank, open the milk container and lubricate the O-ring using the grease supplied with the machine. The grease for the Brew Group's lubrication may be purchased in authorized service centres.

THOROUGH MAINTENANCE OF THE CAPPUCCINATORE

Thoroughly wash the cappuccinatore at least once a week.

The components should be hand-washed with household detergents.

Separate the upper part of the cappuccinatore from the lower part.

Remove the regulator.

Remove the cap from the lower part.

Wash all components. Make sure that the hole is clean and unobstructed.

Reassemble the components and install the cappuccinatore in the container.

O-RING REPLACEMENT

When the upper and lower parts of the cappuccinatore move too freely, replace the 0-ring with the ones supplied.

Remove the O-ring with a pointy object.

Insert the new O-ring pressing it delicately.

Assemble the upper and lower part of the cappuccinatore.

CLEANING THE BREW GROUP

The Brew Group must be cleaned at least once a week.

Lubricate the Brew Group after approximately 500 brewing cycles. The grease for the lubrication of the Brew Group may be purchased by Authorized Service Centres.
