What to do when Turn milk froth adjustment knob to CLEAN to start cleaning shows on the home appliance

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for Turn milk froth adjustment knob to CLEAN to start cleaning on its home appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Leave the milk container attached and place a cup under the milk spout.

02

Turn the froth dial to CLEAN and let the flush cycle finish completely.

03

Wash the lid and dial by hand on a regular basis; book a visit if milk stops flowing or frothing even after cleaning.

Cleared?

The reminder is gone from the display, the filter, the screen or the tub has been cleaned or swapped, and the appliance runs a full cycle without calling for it again. A clean-filter light or a descale prompt that returns in days rather than months usually means the part it watches is fouling faster than normal, so mention that when you book.

What not to do

This is a routine flush prompt, not a sign of a milk-system problem. A related message about turning the dial to the milk position instead means the container was simply refitted with the dial still on CLEAN.

The home appliance problems Turn milk froth adjustment knob to CLEAN to start cleaning tends to arrive with. Answer these at the home appliance before anyone is booked.

All problems

No service indicated

Nothing to service.

Nothing has broken; the appliance has been counting hours, cycles or gallons and is asking for its routine care. A refrigerator lights a filter icon after about six months of water, a front-load washer suggests a tub-clean cycle after a set number of loads, a steam oven or a dishwasher asks for descaling or rinse aid, and some dryers remind you to check the exhaust. Do the task the reminder names, reset it the way the manual describes, and write the date in the service record.

In Bertazzoni's own words

Questions
about Turn milk froth adjustment knob to CLEAN to start cleaning.

Can I clear Turn milk froth adjustment knob to CLEAN to start cleaning myself?
Leave the milk container attached and place a cup under the milk spout. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Is this flush necessary after every milk-based drink on a Bertazzoni?
The machine prompts for it every time milk is delivered, since dried milk in the narrow tubes is the most common cause of weak froth afterward.
Why does my Bertazzoni ask to turn the dial to the milk position instead?
That happens when the container is fitted with the dial still set to CLEAN from before; switching it to a froth setting lets the drink proceed.
What else affects froth quality on this machine besides cleaning?
Warm milk, a dirty lid or dial, and a dirty steam nozzle connection can all thin the froth; cold, lower-fat milk with a clean lid generally performs best.
