Steaming and frothing directly in your cappuccino cup:
With practice, you can steam and froth directly in your cappuccino
cup. First steam and froth the milk, then add your espresso shot.
Skim milk will produce the most froth and will let you taste more
of the coffee. 1% and 2% milk will give you less froth. Regular
whole milk (3% fat) will produce the least amount of froth.
15. CLEANING THE DUAL FROTHER PLUS
Always keep the Dual Frother Plus clean and free of milk deposits.
Hardened milk particles will make it impossible to create milk froth.
Fast cleaning:
• Immediately after finishing frothing, place a cup underneath the
frother (Fig. 15) and push the Hot Water Button (Fig. 4a).
Let hot water run through the frother for about 3 seconds.
This will flush out any small milk droplets.
• Push the Hot Water Button again to stop.
Thorough cleaning of the Dual Frother parts:
• Remove the Dual Frother (Fig.16) from the Steam Nozzle (Fig.17c)
by pulling down the soft collar of the clip-on connector.
• Unscrew the black tip (Fig.16a) from the Clip-On Connector
(Fig.16c). You can use a coin to loosen the black tip.
• Soak all three parts in hot soapy water.
Make sure that the two side holes and the channel of the black
tip (Fig.16a) are free of any milk deposits.
Cleaning the steam nozzle (Fig.17)
• Place a cup underneath the Steam Nozzle (the Dual Frother is off)
and press the Hot Water Button. Let hot water run for a few
seconds through the Steam Nozzle.
• Push the Hot Water Button again to stop.
Tip: If the steam nozzle is blocked by hardened milk, use a needle
and loosen up the milk deposit. Then let some hot water pass
through the Steam Nozzle.
Assembly of Frother Parts
• Make sure the Steam Nozzle (Fig. 17c) is screwed onto the
Metal Tube (Fig.17a) finger tight.
• Assemble the Dual Frother and make sure that the tip is
screwed onto the Connector (Fig 16a, c) finger tight.
• Push the black Clip-on Connector (Fig.16c) firmly into the
steam nozzle (the connector should sit flush with the chrome
sleeve so that the steam nozzle is no longer visible)
Please note: If the parts are not put together tightly it will not be
possible to create the frothy foam on top of the milk.
