After starting the machine press all 4 lit buttons on the top of the machine simultaneously for a few seconds. That will reset the volumes to factory settings. Decalcify your machine according to the manual provided with the decalcifying kit and the special nozzle for the milk steamer.

If if that does not work fill the water tank and the (clean) milk frother container with the 50/50 decalcifying solution + water and install as usual for making cappuccino (without a coffee capsule). Turn on machine and when the buttons light up press the large cappuccino button. Instead of cappucino you will get hopefully any of the residue from the entire system flushed out. Repeat until you used up the decalcifying solution in both containers. Discard and rinse a couple of times with clear water in both containers. Good luck - worked for my machine.
