Bleeding The System; Cleaning - SEVERIN CAFISSIMO KA 5115 Manual

Bleeding the system

If the appliance has not been used for more than 2-3 days, stale water and some air will
accumulate in the system.
On rare occasions air may have been drawn into the system while frothing milk. In this case,
the next coffee to be brewed will be very strong, as too little water is passing through.
In either case, proceed as follows to bleed the system:
- Fill the tank with clean, cold tap water, observing the Max mark.
- Press the On/Off switch to turn the appliance on. The switch starts flashing.
- Place a suitable container under the frothing nozzle and turn the rotary control anti-
clockwise until water is emitted from the frothing nozzle into the container.
If the unit is already pre-heated, some steam will be dispensed first, before water is
emitted.
- As soon as the container is filled with water, turn the rotary control all the way back
clockwise. The water flow stops. Pour away the collected water. The unit is now ready
for use again.

and then lift it off.
