7. Turn the Steam/Froth Control Knob counterclockwise to begin steaming.
The steam ready light will go off while you are steaming milk. This is normal
and you may continue steaming until you have completely steamed your milk.
USE
CAUTION:
Steam emitted from the frothing arm is very HOT. As the milk
heats up,
the frothing pitcher will become very HOT!
8.
The specially designed frothing attachment requires very little effort to produce thick
and
frothy steamed milk. Steam the milk until the desired consistency is achieved
or until the frothed milk reaches the top of the pitcher. Slightly moving the pitcher
up and down while steaming (and keeping the frothing tube immersed in milk)
will help produce extra froth. When you are finished steaming, turn the Steam Control
Knob clockwise until it stops. Do not over tighten. Press the steam start / stop button
to complete the frothing process.
9. When the Steam Control Knob is closed, you will notice the machine releases
some steam. This is the machine releasing the pressure it has generated during
the steaming process and is normal.

Clean the steam nozzle and frothing attachment immediately after each use. Fill a
pitcher halfway with water and run the steaming feature again for about 20 seconds.
This will clean out the inside of the steaming tube. Use a damp cloth to wipe off the
exterior of the steaming tube and frother attachment. You may want to rinse the frother
attachment with warm, soapy water. If the end of the steam tube becomes blocked with
dry milk, use a sewing needle or safety pin to clean out the small hole.
A
TTENTION
After using the steaming feature of your machine, the heating system is at its highest
temperature. If you wish to prepare more espresso immediately after steaming milk,
the heating system should be cooled down to keep from “burning” your espresso.
When the steam ready indicator light goes off, your machine is now ready to brew
espresso at the perfect temperature.

LEANING
When you are finished brewing espresso and steaming milk, begin cleaning by turning
the unit off and unplugging the power cord.
The filter handle and filters should be cleaned each time you brew espresso. To clean,
remove filter handle by turning the handle approximately 45 degrees left of center.
The filter handle will release down from its locked position. Use caution as the filter
may still contain hot water floating on top of the coffee grounds. Knock the used espresso
grounds out while holding the filter in place by holding the thumb guard lock firmly
against the filter cup. Use caution as the filter cup and holder will be very hot. Rinse the
filter cup and holder out thoroughly with water. It is not recommended to put the filter
or filter holder in the dishwasher. If you are not going to use the machine again for
some time, do not reinsert the filter holder on the brew head; this will lengthen the
service life of the filter seal.
Remove the Water Reservoir and empty out any remaining water. Do not wash the
Water Reservoir in the dishwasher.
Remove the Drip Tray and Overflow Grid from the machine and rinse with warm,
soapy water. Do not wash these parts in the dishwasher.

The Brew Head may need cleaning after prolonged use. You may wipe off the brew head
with a damp cloth to remove any old espresso grounds. If the brewing sieve (the underside
of the brew head) is particularly dirty, run a few cycles of plain water through the machine.
Operate the machine as if you were going to brew espresso, but do not put coffee grounds
in the filter cup. Secure the filter handle in place and operate for 30 seconds several times.
This will run hot water through the brew head and clean out any old grounds.

The Frothing Tube should be cleaned immediately after every use to prevent steamed milk
from drying on the tube. Fill a pitcher half way with water and run the steaming feature
again for about 20 seconds. This will clean out the inside of the steaming tube.
Use a damp cloth to wipe off the exterior of the steaming tube and frother attachment.
You may wish to rinse the frother attachment with warm, soapy water. If the end of
the steam tube becomes blocked with dry milk, use a sewing needle or safety pin

IMING
The service life of your Espresso Maker will be lengthened if you de-lime it regularly.
Your Espresso Maker may be de-limed using white household vinegar. The frequency
of de-liming depends upon the hardness of the water used. The following table gives
the suggested cleaning intervals.
