Keeping it clean:
1 IMPORTANT: the steam nozzle should be cleaned after
each use in order to avoid build up of milk deposits that
are very difficult to clean. Cleaning is made easy as can
be seen in the DESCRIPTION OF PARTS. The outer
part of nozzle can be removed by pulling downward.
The outside of the steam pipe can be cleaned with a damp
cloth.
The steam jet is cleaned by running a shot of steam through
it.
The hole in the steam nozzle must be kept open. A needle
may be used.
2 Clean filter holder and filter in warm water after use.
Pay attention as the Turbo-Frother
steam nozzle could be hot!

periodically depending on frequency of use.

discharge the water from the boiler by turning the steam
knob counterclockwise (7), and press the hot water/coffee

cups come out of the frother. Close the steam knob (7)
and press the hot water/coffee and the steam switch.

steam and drip occasionally as the water pressure changes
during use.
