• For best results when making consecutive
cups of espresso we recommend that you
flush a small amount of water through the
machine after each use. With the filter
handle already removed from the brewing
head simply press the button and allow
the water to run through. Once you have a
consistent flow of water, press the
button again to stop. This will wash out
any old or used coffee grinds stuck to the
underside of the brewing head and also
help ensure the correct water temperature
for your next shot of espresso.
Note: Do not leave the filter handle locked
in position for extended periods, or when
machine is not in use. This shortens the
life of the brew head rubber seal.
2. STEAM FUNCTION
The froth enhancing attachment makes it
easy to produce textured milk.
Note: We recommend that you make the
espresso first, then steam the milk.
• Attach the froth enhancing attachment to
the end of the steam arm (19). You may
also choose to steam the milk without the
attachment.
Important: For the froth enhancing
attachment to work you must ensure that it
is pushed firmly onto the steam arm.
• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
with cold water.
• Turn the Café Ristretto
™
‘On’ (6). The
power light will illuminate red and an
amber ‘Warm-Up’ light will turn ‘On’ to
indicate that your espresso machine is ‘On’
and ‘Heating’ to the required temperature.
• Swing the steam arm to the side of the
machine.
• Pour cold milk into a stainless steel
frothing jug to no more than
1
/
3
full.
Note: For best results we recommend to
use refrigerated milk and a stainless steel
jug that is well chilled.
• When the Café Ristretto
™
is at the correct
temperature the ‘Warm-Up’ light will turn
‘Off’.
Tip: Remember that if the ‘Warm-Up’ light
is ‘On’ it means the espresso machine is
‘Heating’. If the ‘Warm-Up’ light is ‘Off’
then you can start using the espresso
machine.
• Turn the steam dial to the ‘Pre-heat’ setting
(20), the ‘Warm-Up’ light will turn ‘On’.
Place the steam wand/arm into the milk,
about a centimetre below the surface. Once
the ‘Warm-Up’ light turns ‘Off’, turn the
steam dial to the steam ‘ ’ setting (21).
Lower the jug so that the tip of the steam
arm is just below the surface of the milk.
Important: Do not allow the tip of the
steam arm to touch the bottom of the
container because this could obstruct the
passage of the steam.
• Position the tip of steam arm to one side
of the jug to create a whirlpool motion in
the milk. As the milk begins to rise in the
jug, follow the level of milk, always
keeping the tip of the steam arm just
below the surface.
• Cease steaming when the frothing jug
becomes too hot to continue holding the
palm of your hand against the side. Simply
turn the steam dial to the‘
•
’ off position
and remove the jug.
Note: Do not boil the milk.
• Pour the textured milk into your espresso
as soon as possible.
