The appli- ance rinses and switches off.  If possible, do not interrupt coffee or milk froth dispensing. Cutting the coffee or milk froth dispensing process short results in higher energy consumption and in more residual water collecting in the drip tray.  Descale the appliance regularly to avoid a build-up of limescale. Limescale residue results in higher energy consumption.
