# JennAir PRESS CLEAN BUTTON: the milk frother needs its rinse

After cappuccino or latte, the JennAir asks you to rinse the milk path.

## What PRESS CLEAN BUTTON actually means.

After cappuccino or latte, the JennAir asks you to rinse the milk path. The Clean button on the milk container lid has to be held for at least 8 seconds, and the rinse stops the moment it is let go. After the rinse, the container goes back in the refrigerator, since JennAir allows milk out for no more than 15 minutes.

What to do when PRESS CLEAN BUTTON 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 JennAir

## Questions about PRESS CLEAN BUTTON.

### Can I clear PRESS CLEAN BUTTON myself?

Place a container under the milk spout. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why did the JennAir milk rinse stop halfway?

The cycle only runs while CLEAN is held. Keep holding until the progress bar finishes.

### How long can I leave milk out in the JennAir container?

JennAir says no more than 15 minutes out of the refrigerator.

### Do I still need to wash the JennAir milk container if I run the rinse?

Yes. The rinse clears the path between drinks; the container parts still need a full wash with hot water and mild detergent.
