11. You can froth as much milk as often as you like provided that
there is enough excess water in the water tank. If necessary,
simply add more water.
Caution: For frothing, do not fill the water tank above the top of
the “well” at base of water tank, otherwise the water flows into the
coffee brewing system.
Experiment to determine your preferences: first coffee, then
adding frothed milk, or first frothed milk then adding coffee.
Making cocoa
You can make hot chocolate by adding chocolate syrup to taste
(approximately 2-3 tablespoons per cup) to some milk in the milk
pitcher and stirring it. Proceed as if frothing milk. The mixture iwill
become completely heated by the hot steam in the frothing
nozzle. The mixture can also be frothed if desired (see section “to
froth or heat milk”).

Descaling to prolong the life of your machine
The service life of your hot beverage machine can be lengthened
with regular descaling. We recommend descaling the appliance
every three months. This will also result in better tasting coffee
and other hot beverages.
If you use a permanent filter, remove it from the swing filter before
descaling.
For descaling use a liquid, such as environmentally-friendly
descaling agent available at retail outlets. Use it in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not use a formic
acid-based descaler.
