Milk easily sticks to the hot surface of the steam wand and container_notice and will leave baked on remains. Therefore, the steam wand and container_notice should be cleaned with a damp cloth directly after each use. Do not use this cloth for anything else than the steam wand.

Immediately after steaming milk you should flush the steam wand with a little steam. This will prohibit milk creeping into the pipe, and even into the valve house, by means of the so called capillary rise. Flushing also prevents the 4 holes in the container_notice to clog. In the event that clogging occurs, place the end of the steam wand and container_notice for several minutes in a glass of hot water. The remains will soften and can be wiped off easily. 

Scrape, grind or cut the steam wand or container_notice since it leads to avoidable damage.
