Cleaning the Frother

Cleaning the Milk Frother

After you make milk-based drinks, the Display instructs you to rinse the frother. This should be done as soon as possible but at the latest, before switching off the machine. Rinsing the milk frother after each use is important to avoid milk buildup.

Easy/Quick Clean

  1. Connect the supplied Milk Tube with one end to the Dispenser outlet and put the other end in the Drip Tray, and confirm on the Display.
  2. Place a sufficiently large container (≥ 0.5 L) under the Dispenser outlet and confirm on the Display.

  1. The machine starts the rinsing process. As soon as the rinse cycle is ended, the machine heats up and is ready for operation.

Deep Cleaning

  1. Select and confirm the message on the Display or in the cleaning menu, select the menu option “Deep Milk Clean”.

  1. Put some milk cleaning system-specific detergent and water in a container (at least 0.3L). Please observe the instructions of the detergent manufacturer for the mix ratio.
  2. Follow the instructions on the Display up to the end of the program. The machine then heats up and is ready for operation again.
