My Latissima device does not produce proper milk froth. What should I do?

The milk frother or the steam system of the appliance is probably clogged.
-Disassemble the milk frother unit according to the instructions and wash it thoroughly - it can be cleaned in a household dishwasher (max 60 °C) - and reassemble it.
-Switch on the appliance, fill the water tank with drinking water and put the milk frother unit on. Place a large cup/glass under the spout of the milk frother.
-Press and hold the button marked 'clean' on the milk frother unit for 10-15 seconds. The unit will steam through the system. If necessary, repeat the steaming process several times.

- If the above does not solve the problem, descale the appliance as described in the instructions for use.

Important: For good quality milk foam, you need milk that is chilled, preferably with a higher protein content. Some types of milk (e.g. organic, lactose-free, soy, seed and other alternative milks) do not foam well. Try to use cold, preferably long-life milk with a fat content of between 1.5 and 3.5%.
