What do You need for a Cleaning Session?
If you’re like most people, you probably don’t spend a lot of time thinking about cleaning your Breville steam wand. But if you want to keep it in top condition, it’s important to clean it regularly.
Here’s what you need for a cleaning session:
- A soft, clean cloth
- A toothbrush or other small brush
- White vinegar
- distilled water
Start by unplugging the wand and allowing it to cool completely. Then, using the soft cloth, wipe away any built-up residue on the outside of the wand.
Next, use a toothbrush or small brush to clean the steam tip. Be sure to get into all the nooks and crannies.
Once the steam tip is clean, mix equal parts white vinegar and distilled water in a bowl. Dip a corner of the cloth into the mixture and use it to wipe down the inside of the wand. Rinse well with distilled water and dry with a clean cloth.
Reassemble the wand and plug it back in. You’re now ready to enjoy freshly steamed milk in your coffee or tea!
Step-by-Step Instructions for Cleaning the Breville Steam Wand Cleaner
Assuming you have already purchased the Breville Steam Wand Cleaner, it is now time to get cleaning! Here are step-by-step instructions on how to use this product:
- Boil a pot of water on the stovetop.
- Fill the tank of the Breville Steam Wand Cleaner with boiling water.
- Insert the cleaning brush into the opening at the top of the wand.
- Hold the wand over a sink and press the button on the handle to release the steam. Be sure to keep your hand close to the opening in case any hot water or steam escapes. Allow all of the water to come out of the wand before moving on to step 5.
- Remove the brush from the wand and rinse it off under running water.
- Repeat steps 3-5 until no more dirt or debris comes out of the wand when you release the steam (this may take a few attempts).
- Fill up a bowl or sink with hot, soapy water and insert just the brush head of the Breville Steam Wand Cleaner into it.
- Swish it around for a minute or two, then rinse clean and dry with a towel.
- To disinfect and descale your wand, fill up another bowl or sink with equal parts white vinegar and water (you can also use lemon juice if you prefer).
- Submerge just the metal tip of your Breville Steam Wand Cleaner
How to Disassemble and Reassemble the Breville Steam Wand Cleaner?
Assuming that you have all the necessary tools to complete the task at hand, let’s get started.
First, we need to remove the knob by unscrewing it from the steam wand. Next, use a flathead screwdriver to remove the two screws that are holding the plastic housing in place. With the housing removed, we can now access the steam wand itself.
To begin disassembling the steam wand, start by unscrewing the black cap at the top. Underneath this cap is a small metal piece that helps to keep the pressure in check – be careful not to lose this!
With the cap off, you should now be able to see a small rubber gasket. Using your fingers or a pair of pliers, carefully pull this gasket off and set it aside.
With the gasket removed, you should now be able to see a white O-ring. This O-ring helps to create a seal between the different parts of the steam wand, so make sure not to damage it when removing it.
With both the gasket and O-ring removed, you can now unscrew the brass nut that is holding everything together. Once this nut is loose, you can pull out the entire inner assembly of the steam wand.
The final step in disassembling the Breville steam wand is to remove the silicone sleeve that surrounds it. To do this, simply peel back one side of the sleeve and then work it off of the wand
