6. Maintenance & Cleaning

After each use, the machine automatically initiates a cleaning cycle. Ensure the water reservoir is filled for this process. The dirty water will be collected in the waste water bin.

• Grinding Chamber & Blades: For thorough cleaning, carefully wipe down the grinding chamber and blades with a damp cloth or sponge. Use caution around the sharp blades.
• Waste Water Bin: Empty and clean the waste water bin regularly.

7. Troubleshooting

• Machine is noisy: The blending process involves powerful blades and may produce noise comparable to a coffee grinder. This is normal operation.
• Milk is too thin/thick: Adjust the quantity of ingredients to achieve your preferred consistency. More ingredients will result in thicker milk.
