• After each use of the espresso machine for
best results when making consecutive cups
of espresso we recommend that you flush a
small amount of water through the machine
with the group handle already removed
from the brewing head. Simply turn the
operating dial to the espresso setting and
allow the water to run through until you
have a consistent flow of water. 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 steam function can be used for texturing/
frothing milk.
Important: There is a risk of scalding when
the steam nozzle is in use. Hot water or
hot steam can cause scalding. Only use the
steam wand when it is immersed in the milk.
• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
with cold water and start the unit (6).
• Turn the dial to the pre-heat (
) position.
• The hot water
( ) symbol will illuminate
on default. Press the button once more to
illuminate the steam
( ) icon (22).
• Once the Power (
) button stops flashing,
the machine has reached temperature and
the steam is ready to use.
• Swing the steam nozzle to the side of the
machine (25).
• Pour cold milk into a stainless steel jug to
no more than
1
/
3
full.
Tip: For best results we recommend using
refrigerated milk and a stainless steel jug
that is well chilled. Be sure not to rinse the
jug with warm water before use.
• Hold the jug under the steam wand so that
the nozzle opening is completely immersed
in the milk. Turn the operating dial to the
( )
setting to activate the steam and
commence texturing the milk (26).
Tip: For instructions on how to froth/
texture milk refer to section 'Easy steps for
texturing milk'.
• Lower the jug so that the tip of the steam
nozzle is just below the surface of the milk
and place your hand on the side of the
jug (27).
Note: The nozzle must not touch the
bottom of the jug to ensure that the steam
release is not obstructed.
• Move the jug so that the steam wand is
to one side, this will create a whirlpool
motion to the milk. As the steam heats the
milk, the milk will begin to rise. Follow
the level of the milk by lowering the jug,
always keeping the tip of the steam nozzle
just below the surface.
• Cease steaming when the jug becomes too
hot to continue holding the palm of your
hand against the side. Simply turn the
operating dial to the pre-heat (
) position
and remove the jug.
Note: Do not boil the milk.
