MODEL-SPECIFIC QUICK ANSWER
illy Y5 Milk Iperespresso Espresso & Coffee blinking lights and common signals
The Y5 Milk manual says dimly lit panel icons mean descaling is needed. Its cycle takes about 20 minutes: a 14-minute descaler phase followed by a two-minute fresh-water rinse. For poor froth, check cold whole milk, the MIN fill level, and that the milk spout and kit are clean and locked into place.
