Descaling – to keep your milk
frothing machine in good
condition for longer
The service life of your milk frothing
machine can be lengthened with regu-
lar descaling. As a precaution we rec-
ommend descaling every three months.
For areas with hard water more fre-
quent descaling is required. If a water
filter is used the appliance needs to be
descaled less often.
For descaling use a liquid, environmen-
tally-friendly descaling agent availa-
ble generally at retail outlets. Only use
it in accordance with the manufac-
turer's instructions. Do not use a for-
mic acid based descaler.
0 Unplug the appliance from the mains
and allow it to cool.
0 Unscrew the steam nozzle (Figure 2/N)
using the descaling nozzle supplied
(turn anti-clockwise) and replace it by
screwing on the descaling nozzle (Fig-
ures 8 and 9).
0 Place as large a receptacle as possible
in the middle of the drip grid and
beneath the descaling nozzle.
Warning: first fill the water tank with
water and then add the appropriate
amount of descaling agent as recom-
mended by the manufacturer. Never do
this the other way round!
0 Insert the mains plug into the socket,
switch on the appliance using the on/
off switch (Figure 1/A) and wait until
the ready indicator (orange) is illumi-
nated.
0 Press the steam button for approx. 30
to 45 seconds and allow the descaling
solution to run through the system.
0 Switch off the appliance using the on/
off switch and leave the remaining
descaling solution to take effect for
approx. 10 minutes.
0 Repeat the procedure.
The water tank must be cleaned thor-
oughly to remove all traces of the des-
caling agent.

0 Fill the water tank with fresh water.
0 Allow half of the water to flow
through as described above.
If there is heavy scaling repeat the des-
caling procedure.
0 Leave the appliance to cool after des-
caling has been completed.
0 Replace the descaling nozzle with the
steam nozzle.
Check that the steam nozzle is fully
screwed in place.
What do I do if ...
... the rate of flow is conspicuously
reduced?
• Descale the appliance.
... no milk is sucked up or too little
froth is produced?
• Always use cool, fresh (low fat!) milk.
• Use a suitable container (e.g., a jug).
• Check whether the knob for regulating
the steam is fully open (cf. Figure 4).
• Check whether all parts of the frothed
milk spout are completely free of
deposits and if any are present remove
them (see also Figure 11).
... loud crackling sounds are pro-
duced when the steam button is
pressed?
• There is no water in the water tank. Fill
with water.
• The water tank is not correctly posi-
tioned. Push the water tank into the
appliance as far as it will go.

For the Sake of the
Environment
Do not simply throw packaging mate-
rial away.
• The cardboard box can be taken for
recycling or deposited in the relevant
refuse collection system.
• Deposit plastic bags made from poly-
ethylene (PE) at a PE collection point
for recycling.
• Padding materials made of expanded
polystyrene (PS) are CFC-free.
Please inquire with your local authority
about your local recycling centre.
