Spinning position with a cleaning nozzle and method of cleaning a yarn forming element

A spinning position of an air-spinning machine comprising:

• an air spinning nozzle having a yarn forming element disposed within a vortex chamber for producing a yarn from a fibre band supplied to the air spinning nozzle, in which case
• the air spinning nozzle can be transferred from a closed state for yarn formation to an open state in which the yarn forming element can be cleaned,
• a cleaning nozzle for cleaning the yarn forming element in the opened state of the air spinning nozzle, in which case
• the cleaning nozzle is movable relative to the yarn forming element by a swivelling device at least between a rest position and a cleaning position for cleaning the yarn forming element and is designed to be positionable and/or alignable by the swivelling device in such a way that at least in the opened state of the air spinning nozzle, the yarn forming element in the cleaning position of the cleaning nozzle can have a cleaning medium applied to it frontally and/or laterally over at least over part of its surface.
