MILK
My VELASCA PRESTIGE espresso machine does not froth the milk.

The milk carafe/parts are dirty
1. Detach all parts and clean them with warm water /washing-up liquid

3. When cleaning does not improve the milk frothing result, descale your machine. Internal circuits might be clogged up with
scale
The milk carafe dispensing spout is not completely pulled out or set in the correct position
•Pull the dispensing spout of the milk carafe fully out, set to milk froth
Different types of milk result in different amounts of froth and froth qualities
We have tested the following milk types which proved to deliver a good milk froth result:
•Semi-skimmed or full-fat cow’s milk
•Soy milk
•Lactose free milk
When cleaning does not improve the milk frothing result, descale your machine. Internal circuits might be clogged up with scale.
