# Fisher & Paykel TURN DIAL TO CLEAN: rinse the milk tubes after a milk drink

After a milk drink, milk sits in the tubes of the container and connection.

## What TURN DIAL TO CLEAN actually means.

After a milk drink, milk sits in the tubes of the container and connection. The coffee maker prompts you to turn the froth dial to CLEAN so it can flush them with hot water. The same need is flagged by the exclamation mark icon if the rinse is skipped.

What to do when TURN DIAL TO CLEAN shows on the coffee machine

### Kind of code Milk system

The milk system could not draw, heat or foam the milk as it should: a tube pinched or not pushed fully onto its connector, a frother or valve clogged with dried milk, a skipped cleaning cycle, or a steam valve and seal that no longer hold. Taking the milk parts apart for a rinse where the manual allows, and running the milk cleaning cycle, clears most of it; steam hissing from the wrong place or a frother that stays cold is a visit.

### Usually leads to Coffee machine milk system repair

Restoring the froth: the milk tube, the frother, the air inlet, the milk valve and the cleaning cycle that keeps them clear.

### Shows up as What a Coffee Machine Error Code or Warning Symbol Means

A coffee machine error code may show as a short string of letters and numbers, a flashing symbol for water, grounds or the brew unit, a short sentence on a text display, or a machine that stops with one light blinking.

### Make Fisher & Paykel

A Fisher and Paykel built-in coffee maker is looked at where it stands in the cabinet, with the drip tray, the tank and the milk tube checked on the counter first.

## Questions about TURN DIAL TO CLEAN.

### Can I clear TURN DIAL TO CLEAN myself?

With the jug still connected, set an empty cup beneath the milk outlet. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Do I have to run the Fisher & Paykel milk clean after every milk drink?

The coffee maker asks for it after milk has been delivered. Running it keeps milk from drying in the tubes.

### Can I skip TURN DIAL TO CLEAN on my Fisher & Paykel and clean later?

You can press BACK to postpone it, and the exclamation mark icon will remind you. Clean before the milk dries.

### Does the Fisher & Paykel milk clean replace washing the container?

No. Fisher & Paykel asks for the container to be taken apart and washed each time it is refilled.
