# Fulgor Milano built-in espresso unit: PRESS CLEAN!

The milk container's lid has a dedicated CLEAN button; the flush only runs for as long as the button is held down, which is why letting go early leaves the prompt showing again.

## What PRESS CLEAN! actually means.

The milk container's lid has a dedicated CLEAN button; the flush only runs for as long as the button is held down, which is why letting go early leaves the prompt showing again.

What to do when PRESS CLEAN! shows on the home appliance

### Kind of code Reminders, not failures

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.

### Usually leads to No service

Place a cup or jug under the milk spout.

### Shows up as White Scale on Appliance Water Parts: Steam Ovens, Ice Makers, Dish Care

White scale on appliance water parts is a chalky white or tan crust on a steam oven tray, an ice mold or plate, a dispenser outlet or the inside of a dishwasher, left by hard water.

### Make Fulgor Milano

Fulgor Milano upkeep centers on the pro-style range and its burners, with the matching refrigeration, dishwasher and hood looked after on the same visit.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Fulgor Milano's own guidance for PRESS CLEAN! on its home appliances. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Place a cup or jug under the milk spout.

02

Hold the lid's CLEAN button down for at least 5 seconds and keep holding until the CLEANING! bar fills completely.

03

Return the milk to the refrigerator within 15 minutes; if froth stays poor afterward, disassemble and wash the lid, and book a visit if milk still will not come through.

### 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

The flashing message is a routine prompt, not an error, and clears once the flush finishes. Releasing the button early only interrupts the flush rather than completing it.

## What you may notice with it.

## Questions about PRESS CLEAN!.

### Can I clear PRESS CLEAN! myself?

Place a cup or jug under the milk spout. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Does the milk clean have to run after every milk-based drink?

Fulgor Milano's guide prompts for it each time, since milk drying inside the narrow lid tubes is the main reason froth thins out later.

### Why does the cleaning stop partway through?

The flush runs only while the CLEAN button stays pressed, so it needs to be held continuously until the progress bar is completely full.

### Can any of the milk container parts be machine-washed?

Yes, Fulgor Milano allows the milk container's parts in the top rack; the rest of the machine is wiped by hand.
