Immediately after texturing milk, turn

If any of the holes in the tip of the

STANDBY position. Press the POWER
button to turn the machine Off and allow
to cool. Use the pin on the end of the

If the steam wand remains blocked,
remove the tip using the integrated
spanner in the cleaning tool and soak
in hot water. Use the pin on the end of
the provided cleaning tool to unblock
the hole(s) before re-attaching to the
