tap water by filling tank half full with
water and then pouring the water back

counter clockwise, to brew. The vinegar
will start flowing through the unit. Once
all the vinegar has been drained from the
reservoir turn the control knob clockwise
back to the OFF position.

from the internal parts, repeat Steps 2–5
above, replacing the vinegar with water, as
often as necessary.

a cup with cold water under the tip of
the frothing tube. Press the center of the
control knob, then press the froth mode
function button. Once the light stays
