Steam wand
Keeping the steam arm clean is essential
to ensure maximum efficiency of the steam
function. A build up of caramelised/dried
milk on the steam wand will impair the
steaming and texturing ability of the espresso
machine.
Important: Wipe the steam wand clean with a
damp cloth immediately after each use and
purge a small amount of steam.
Should the milk dry/caramelise on the
steam wand, simply wrap the wand with
a clean damp cloth, turn the steam wand
over the drip tray and turn the steam on for
approximately 10 seconds (52). With the
cloth still on the steam wand leave to soak
for about 5 minutes and you will find that
after this time the dry/caramelised milk will
easily wipe away. Repeat process if still dirty.
Important: Never clean the steam wand with
an abrasive pad as this will damage the
steam wand.
Should the steam wand become blocked,
supplied with the espresso machine is a
cleaning pin. The cleaning pin for the steam
wand is the BLACK pin located under the
base of the water reservoir (49)(53).
With the cleaning pin insert it into the hole
in the base of the steam nozzle (54). Should
the steam wand remain blocked unscrew the
steam nozzle from the steam wand. Clean
the steam nozzle by once again using the
cleaning pin then flush under running water.
