How often do you clean the milk system?
We recommend regularly cleaning the milk system. This way, you can keep enjoying good milk foam. A thorough cleaning consists of both daily rinsing of the milk system and regular cleaning of all separate parts. It's important to maintain the milk system, otherwise mold will appear.
Step 1: rinse the milk system
- After use, the machine recommends cleaning the milk system.

- Remove the milk tube by pulling it.
- Put a container next to the machine and hang the milk tube in it with the head down.
- Put a container under the coffee outlet.
- Confirm this with 'Ok'.

- After a few minutes, the milk system is cleaned succesfully.
Step 2: disassemble the separate parts
- Touch the soap bell icon on the display to go to the maintenance menu.
- Choose 'automatic milk cleaning'.
- Select 'step by step' to go through the rinsing step by step.
- Remove the milk tube from the machine.
- Remove the front cover from the coffee outlet. Pull this towards you.
- Remove the block on the inside by pulling it towards you on the top and bottom.
- First, remove the orange part of the block.
- Remove the top and bottom from the block. Also remove the orange part from the gray block.
- Use the orange part to twist off the black pipes at the top.
Step 3: rinse the separate parts
- Unclog the black pipes with the pin of the orange part by rotating the pin in the holes.
- Remove the pipe from the milk tube and pull the stainless steel tube from it.
