发布时间2025-04-09 20:27

Here's a step-by-step guide to clean the milk reservoir on your DeLonghi coffee machine:

What You’ll Need:

Mild dish soap

Warm water

Soft cloth or sponge

A small brush (e.g., bottle brush or toothbrush)

Clean towel for drying

Steps to Clean the Milk Reservoir:

1. Turn Off & Unplug the Machine

Ensure the machine is powered off and unplugged for safety.

2. Remove the Milk Reservoir

Detach the milk container, tube, or frother (depending on your model). Refer to your user manual for specific disassembly instructions.

3. Disassemble Parts

Take apart any removable components (e.g., lid, tube, frothing wand). Some models have a detachable milk jug or frother nozzle.

4. Rinse with Warm Water

Rinse all parts under warm water to remove residual milk.

5. Wash with Mild Soap

Use a soft cloth/sponge and mild soap to gently scrub the reservoir, tube, and other parts. For hard-to-reach areas (like the tube), use a small brush.

6. Clean the Frother Nozzle

If your machine has a steam wand or frother:

Wipe the nozzle with a damp cloth.

Activate the steam function briefly (while the machine is on) to clear any milk residue (only do this after reassembly).

7. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Do not use abrasive cleaners or bleach, as they can damage parts.

8. Dry Thoroughly

Air-dry all components on a clean towel or pat dry with a cloth. Ensure no moisture remains to prevent bacterial growth.

9. Reassemble & Run a Rinse Cycle

Reattach the cleaned parts. If your model has a "cleaning" or "rinse" function for the milk system, run it with fresh water to flush any leftover soap.

Maintenance Tips:

Daily Cleaning: Rinse the milk reservoir and frother immediately after each use to prevent milk from drying.

Weekly Deep Clean: Follow the full cleaning process above weekly if you use the machine frequently.

Check for Blockages: Inspect tubes and nozzles regularly for clogs.

For model-specific instructions, consult your DeLonghi user manual or visit their official support website. If your machine has an automatic milk cleaner (e.g., Latissima or Primadonna models), use the built-in cleaning program as described in the manual.
