Steam instead of milk/milk froth

Steam is coming out instead of milk/milk froth even though the milk flask is full.

The suction nozzle on the dispensing unit (Cappuccinatore) has not been inserted into the appliance correctly or has become deformed.

Figure 1: The suction nozzle is not inserted correctly in the central spout. In this position, the suction nozzle draws in external air and cannot supply milk.

Disconnect the milk pipework.

The dispensing unit is integrated into the central spout.

Pull the stainless steel cover forward and remove it from the central spout.

Pull the dispensing unit down to remove it.

Dampen the individual parts of the dispensing unit under running water.

The dispensing unit is easier to reinsert if the individual parts have been dampened with water beforehand.
