OPERATING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE
1
Press and hold the On/Off power
button until the ON indicator lights up.
2
Wait until the Espresso Machine has
reached operating temperature; it may
take approximately 6 minutes. When
the frothing boiler temperature gauge
needle climbs into the “ready” zone,
the Espresso Machine is ready to froth.
Frothing and steaming milk
Frothing and steaming milk requires a bit of practice, but you’ll be surprised how quickly
your skills will develop. The Espresso Machine gives you all the tools you need: an
11 ounce stainless steel pitcher shaped especially for frothing (with a spout perfectly
designed for latte art), a frothing arm that adjusts horizontally and vertically for a
comfortable working position, a frothing nozzle designed to enhance frothing, and
a Steam Dial that lets you precisely control the volume of frothing steam.
3
Fill the frothing pitcher 1/3 full with
cold milk.
4
With the frothing arm pointed into an
empty cup, open the Steam dial for a
moment to purge excess water from
the line. To open the Steam dial, turn
it slowly counter-clockwise. To close
the Steam dial, rotate it clockwise until
it stops.
