• Drip Tray: Empty and rinse the drip tray daily or when the indicator shows it is full.
• Steam Wand: Immediately after frothing milk, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth. Purge a small amount of steam to clear any internal milk residue.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

6.2 Water Tank Cleaning

Clean the water tank weekly or as needed.

1. Remove the water tank.
2. Wash it with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
