What PRESS CLEAN!
actually means.

The milk container lid has its own CLEAN button. After every milk drink the machine asks for it to be held down so hot water and steam can run through the lid's tubes and clear the milk before it dries.

What to do when PRESS CLEAN! shows on the coffee machine

Kind of codeMilk 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.

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

Shows up asWhat 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.

MakeFulgor Milano

A Fulgor Milano built-in coffee system gets an in-home visit that begins with the tank, the beans and the grounds container before the machine itself is opened.

Before you book,
in this order.

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

01

Put a cup or jug under the milk spout.

02

Hold the lid's CLEAN button down for 5 seconds or longer and keep your finger on it until the CLEANING! bar fills.

03

Put the milk back in the refrigerator within 15 minutes; if froth stays poor after cleaning, take the lid apart and wash it, and book a visit if milk still will not come through.

Still there?

What not to do

The flashing message is a prompt, not a problem, and it clears once the cleaning run is finished. Letting go of the button early stops the flush, so the prompt comes back.

Questions
about PRESS CLEAN!.

Can I clear PRESS CLEAN! myself?
Put a cup or jug under the milk spout. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Do I have to run CLEAN after every cappuccino on my Fulgor Milano?
Fulgor asks for it every time milk is made. Milk that dries in the small passages of the lid is the main reason froth turns thin.
Why does CLEAN stop halfway on my Fulgor Milano?
The flush only runs while the button is held. Keep a finger on it until the progress bar is full.
Which Fulgor Milano coffee machine parts are machine-washable?
Fulgor allows the milk container parts in the top basket of a dishwasher. The rest of the coffee machine's parts are washed by hand.

Back to your everyday

Still showing PRESS CLEAN!?

Three things make the booking useful: the message or number exactly as the display showed it, the full model number from the plate, and whether the machine still grinds and pours at all. Send those and the likely part can be looked up before the van leaves.
