REMEDY
Use skimmed or semi-skimmed milk at refrig-
erator temperature (about 41°F/5° C). If the
result is not as you wished, try changing brand
of milk.
Adjust following the instructions in section "9.
Making cappuccinos and milk-based coffees".
Clean the milk container lid and froth adjust-
ment dial as described in section "14.10 Clean-
ing the milk container".
Clean the connection nozzle as described in
section "14.11 Cleaning the hot water/steam
connection nozzle".
This is normal, as it is passively heated by the
internal heat of the machine.
This is part of normal operation. To limit the
phenomenon, empty the drip tray.
