Delivering Steam
TIP! Although it is recommended to use a stainless steel pitcher
to froth milk, porcelain or ceramic cups can also be used.
g) Immerse the frothing sleeve into the milk so that the tip and
small side hole is just beneath the surface of the milk.
Immersing the frothing sleeve deep into the milk will not allow
the tiny bubbles to rise to the surface. It will heat the milk but it
will not froth the milk. The frothing sleeve should not come into
contact with the base of the milk pitcher while frothing.
Frothing Milk
Note: It is normal for the red heating light to illuminate while
frothing. It is also normal for the pump to make ticking noises
when making steam.
h) Turn the control dial to the left to the
Steam/Hot Water position. The steaming
process will start immediately.
i) Froth and steam the milk.
j) To stop dispensing steam, turn the
control dial to the center position 0
and remove the pitcher.
k) Set the froth aside for a few moments
to allow the froth to thicken further.
l) Spoon the frothy milk over the espresso and then fill the
remainder of the cup with warmed milk.
9. Cleaning the Frothing Sleeve and Steam Tube
Note: Clean immediately after use.
a) Remove the frothing sleeve by turning it as far as possible to
the left and then pull it off of steam tube.
b) Rinse off the remaining milk under running water after each use.
Caution: the frothing sleeve might be hot!
c) Turn the function switch to the Coffee/Hot Water position.
d) Place a cup under the steam tube and turn the control dial to
the left to the Steam/Hot Water position to rinse the steam
tube for a few seconds.
e) Turn the control dial to 0 to stop the flow of water.
10. Preparing Latte / Heating Other Liquids
Latte is the combination of one or two shots of espresso with an
equal or larger amount of hot steamed milk without or very little
froth. Prepare your espressos and then add steamed milk (see
below).
Producing Steam to Heat Liquids
The steam tube (without the frothing sleeve) can be used to
steam milk and heat or re-heat hot beverages, for example hot
chocolate, water or tea.
a) Fill the container with fresh water and place in the appliance.
b) Make sure the frothing sleeve is removed from the steam tube.
c) Set the function switch to Steam. When the green ready lights
illuminates, the machine is ready to deliver steam.
Note: It is normal for the red heating light to illuminate while
delivering steam. It is also normal for
the pump to make ticking noises when
delivering steam.
d) Immerse the steam tube into the
liquid and turn the Control Dial to
the Steam/Hot water position.
e) When heating is complete, turn
the control dial to the center
position 0 and remove the cup.
