a) The milk unit may possibly be clogged with milk residue. Remove the milk unit and clean it under running water. You can also clean the milk unit with rinsing water. Run the "Intensive Cleaning" program (cleaning program for the milk system) as per your operating instructions. If possible, run the quick and hygienic "Easy Cleaning" program each time after dispensing milk by confirming the "Easy Cleaning?"display shown on the display twice using the rotary switch. The "Easy Cleaning" program prevents milk residues from being deposited and sticking in the milk hose and guarantees that your milk unit always remains hygienic. Perform descaling.

"Easy Cleaning" is hygienic quick rinsing for the milk system of your CI®. In this process, the milk system is cleaned with hot water and finally with a jet of steam. If possible, you should do this each time after dispensing milk⁄milk froth in order to prevent blocking the milk hose/milk system. The machine reminds you to do this automatically, but you can also call "Easy Cleaning" up using the "Care" menu item.

"Intensive Cleaning" is the cleaning program for the milk system of your CI®. We recommend running "Intensive Cleaning" at least once a week as required, but the machine will also draw your attention to this automatically. You need the Melitta® Perfect CLEAN milk system cleaner to run the "Intensive Cleaning" program. Pour 50 ml (one graduation mark) of the cleaner into the milk container and fill it up with 450 ml warm water (up to the 0.5 l mark). Start the "Intensive Cleaning" program using the "Care" menu item. After cleaning, rinse the milk container thoroughly with water.
