FOR HYGIENIC REASONS, IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THIS OPERATION ALWAYS BE CARRIED OUT SO AS TO PREVENT THE MILK FROM STAGNATING IN THE CIRCUITS OF THE COFFEE MAKER. · Lastly, to prevent the mild from solidifying, it is necessary to wash the milk tank immediately, as described below in the "Cleaning the milk foamer and tank" section.

When the tank has been filled up to the MAX line, you can make 2 or 3 cappuccinos. Never fill the tank over the little notch that is located just above the MAX sign (fig. 16); if the tank is too full, the milk may continue to drip from the tube after the cappuccino has been made.
