CARE & CLEANING

CLEANING THE STEAM WAND

IMPORTANT

After every use, thoroughly wipe the steam wand and tip with a damp cloth

&purge immediately. Failure to clean the steam wand may affect the milk texturing performance.

•If any of the holes in the tip of the steam wand become blocked, ensure the steam lever is in the center OFF position and unblock using the steam tip cleaning tool. Even partially blocked holes may affect the ability of the steam wand to produce sufficient foam volume.

•If steam wand remains blocked, remove the tip and soak together with steam wand using the provided steam wand cleaning powder (instructions below). Screw tip back onto the steam wand after rinsing.

•The steam wand can be left immersed in the milk jug filled with water when not in use to reduce the risk of blockages.
