De'Longhi Magnifica Evo Latte

Routine Overview

This is the routine for completely disassembling and cleaning the unique LatteCrema system of the Magnifica EVO.
90% of milk froth quality issues are caused by insufficient cleaning.
Unlike daily quick cleaning, this involves disassembling and thoroughly washing all components.
⚠️
If not cleaned immediately after milk use, dried milk can make disassembly difficult.

1. Open Milk Container Lid

Turn the lid clockwise until the line aligns with the unlock symbol.
Lift the lid upward to remove.
💡
If the lid is stiff, slightly lift it first instead of forcing it to turn.

2. Remove Milk Intake Tube

Pull out the transparent milk intake tube.
Check the tube end for milk residue.
ℹ️
If this tube is blocked, milk won't be drawn up.

3. Remove Milk Dispenser

Position the milk dispenser vertically.
Pull upward to remove.
🔧
If it's stuck, gently twist while pulling.

4. Remove Connector

Press the button on the connector's side.
While holding the button, pull the connector out.

If no dishwasher is available, proceed to step 6.

6. Manual Cleaning (Alternative)

Rinse all parts with hot water (above 40°C).
Soak in hot water with mild detergent for 30 minutes.

⚠️
Never use abrasives or metal scrubbers!

7. Check Air Groove

Verify the small groove (air groove) in the connector is clean.
If blocked, carefully clear it with a toothpick.

Insert the milk dispenser vertically.
Push the milk intake tube in fully.
