Steam instead of milk/milk froth

Steam is coming out instead of milk/milk froth even though the milk container is full.

The suction nozzle on the dispensing unit (Cappuccinatore) has not been inserted into the appliance correctly or has become deformed.

The dispensing unit is easier to reinsert if the individual parts have been dampened with water beforehand.
