6. Once desired foam consistency and temperature are reached, turn the steam knob to the OFF position.
7. Immediately clean the steam wand after frothing (see Maintenance section).

6. Maintenance & Cleaning

6.1 Cleaning the Steam Wand

1. Immediately after frothing, wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth.
2. Turn the steam knob to the STEAM position briefly to purge any milk residue from the nozzle.
3. If the frother spout is clogged, twist off the frother spout and clean it with the provided cleaning needle. Insert the needle in and out until the blockage is removed.
4. Twist the steam nozzle back on securely.

6.2 Cleaning the Drip Tray & Water Tank

• The drip tray and water tank are removable for easy cleaning.
• Empty and rinse the drip tray regularly to prevent overflow.
• Wash the water tank with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. It can also be placed in a dishwasher.

6.3 General Cleaning

• Wipe the exterior of the machine with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
• Regularly clean the portafilter and filter baskets with warm, soapy water.

7. Troubleshooting

7.1 ON/OFF Flashing Repeatedly / No Coffee Comes Out

This problem typically occurs if you attempt to brew coffee immediately after frothing milk. The machine needs to cool down to the appropriate temperature for brewing coffee.

1. Turn the steam knob to the WATER position.
2. Let hot water spout out from the steam wand until the ON/OFF icon stops flashing and makes one beep.
3. Close the knob to the OFF position. The machine is now ready to brew coffee normally.
