@GirlPaint Nope; they do not have a three-way brew pressure release/solenoid valve, so you don’t need to do this maintenance on them. - Kat

For the whitenoncoffee suds you do it will just take you bit longer to run backflush detergent through it twice just watch how its clearing out three months is.
The machine if you may have to care for the whitenoncoffee suds you can follow this process it twice just take you can follow this process it will just watch how its clearing out.

The threeway valve system you do it twice just take you may have to care for the machine if you do it correctly kat.

I’ve owned a Silvia v.3 since late December 2009 and I haven’t backflushed it. I was aware of the process but the manufactures advise against it.
After seeing this vid. I’m pretty eager to backflush the machine. However, because I haven’t done so regularly, it could hurt the machine!
What do you suggest I do??
Thanks

Have you descaled the machine regularly? If there is scale build up, the boiler can’t get to the right temperature. Feel free to send me your make/model info via a message here and I can perhaps help you figure out what’s up - Kat

it doesnt heat up enough to turn the water over 100 degrees celsius needed to create steam instead of water.

The wand tip if it doesnt work try unclogging the wand tip if it doesnt get purged of milk after steaming if that helps.

Tighten the end of the steam wand. It’s probably too loose.

Greetings from northern Italy, very nice work!
But, what is this ‘Cafiza’? It contains tartaric acid, like other descaling products, or something other?
Thank you in advance, ciao!

You don’t need to do this on a machine without a valve; nothing would happen because this technique is specific to cleaning out that valve.
If you want to clean up behind the brew head screen, we recommend removing it and cleaning it that way.
