Melitta Barista TS Smart: the steam tube at the milk-container lid or the milk-system tube at either end may not be fully connected. Follow the manufacturer sequence before replacing a part or requesting service. Use the exact model and light or message pattern before changing a setting. The checks stay within removable brewing, milk, water and drip-tray items described by the manufacturer. What this exact symptom means: the steam tube at the milk-container lid or the milk-system tube at either end may not be fully connected. What to distinguish first: Confirm that the displayed or observed condition exactly matches “milk is not drawn from the container” before changing anything. 1. Confirm the model and signal — Confirm that the displayed or observed condition exactly matches “milk is not drawn from the container” before changing anything. 2. Prepare the appliance safely — Complete the normal shutdown, unplug the machine, let hot parts cool and empty the drip tray before removing user-accessible parts. 3. Carry out the official user check — With all milk parts cool, press the steam tube into the lid and reseat both ends of the milk tube at the outlet and container, then rinse once. 4. Interpret one controlled retest — Reassemble every part in its documented position and run one short rinse or one beverage. A repeated signal after the stated check requires service rather than repeated resets. The official Melitta page documents this model-family symptom and the user-level procedure above. Keep water out of the bean hopper, grinder and electrical openings. Never force a brew unit, valve, grinder control or hot steam part. Stop and contact the manufacturer if the same signal returns after one correct cycle, a grinder contains a foreign object, a hot-water leak appears or the machine trips power.
