CLEANING

BASIC CLEANING

• Disconnect the appliance from the mains and let it cool before undertaking any cleaning task.
• Clean the equipment with a damp cloth with a few drops of washing-up liquid and then dry.
• Do not use solvents, or products with an acid or base pH such as bleach, or abrasive products, for cleaning the appliance.
• Do not let water or any other liquid get into the air vents to avoid damage to the inner parts of the appliance.
• Neither parts of this appliance are suitable for cleaning in the dishwasher.
• After washing, dry all the parts before fitting them together and storing.

CLEANING THE FROTHING WAND

• CAUTION! The frothing wand, and frothing sleeve may be VERY HOT.
• It is recommended to purge and wipe the frothing wand after steaming milk to prevent deposits 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 frothing 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 replace 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 incrustations 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 periodically 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 authorised technical services.
• Homemade solutions are not recommended in the de-scaling of this appliance, such as the use of vinegar.
