4. Frothing Milk
(Figures 13 to 18)

Hot steam can be used both for froth-
ing milk for cappuccino and for heat-
ing liquids.

For one cup of cappuccino, fill a large 
cup up to ½ to 2/3 full with espresso 
and then add the frothed milk.
Always use cool, fresh (low fat) milk to 
achieve the best frothing results.

4.1. Frothing Milk 

The type of coffee that was selected 
last appears in the display.

CF 300: 

0

Slide the movable tube on the swivel-
ling nozzle 

all the way down

 (Figure 

13/A).

0

Turn the steam selector 

clockwise

 to 

the 

“Steam” position (Figure 17/A). 

The appliance heats up. “HEATING UP” 
appears in the display. After a short 
while the “STEAM READY” display 
appears.

0

Place a cup, half-filled at the most, 
beneath the frothing nozzle (Figure 
26).

0

Immerse the swivelling nozzle about 
half way down inside the container 
with the milk to be frothed so that air 
can be drawn in unhindered. The swiv-
elling nozzle should not touch the base 
of the container to avoid obstructing 
the steam outlet.

0

Press the coffee selection button. 
“STEAM” appears in the display.

0

You can 

stop

 the outlet of steam 

– by turning the steam selector 

anti-

clockwise

 back to the O position, or 

– by pressing the coffee selection but-

ton. “SET STEAM/WATER DIAL TO 
ZERO” appears in the display.

0

Activate the outlet of steam briefly 
after frothing milk to “blow clear” the 
swivelling nozzle. Then clean any milk 
residues from the swivelling nozzle 
using a damp cloth. Move the movable 
metal tube up and down during this 
process.

CF 400: 

Attach the frothed milk spout to the 
steam nozzle (Figure 14):

0

Insert the knob for regulating the froth 
(Figure 2/A) into the suction piece (Fig-
ure 2/B) and press 

firmly

 into place. 

0

Insert the suction piece into the con-
nector (Figure 2/D), and connect the 
milk discharge outlet (Figure 2/C) to 
the connector. 

0

Firmly

 push the complete frothed milk 

spout onto the steam nozzle until the 
red seal on the steam nozzle is no 
longer visible. As you do so, carefully 
push against the grip for adjusting the 
height of the steam nozzle.

0

Pour cold milk into the container sup-
plied. If you are frothing milk from the 
container supplied you do not need the 
flexible hose. The milk container is 
attached directly to the frothed milk 
spout (Figure 15).

You can also suck up the milk directly 
from the carton using the flexible hose 
(Figure 2/E). However, the milk carton 
must not exceed the height of the milk 
frothing nozzle. The flexible hose must 
be inserted down into the milk carton.

0

Attach the flexible hose to the frothing 
nozzle and insert the other end of the 
flexible hose into the cold milk (Figure 
18).

0

Place an empty cup underneath the 
frothing nozzle (Figure 26).

0

Turn the steam selector 

clockwise

 to 

the 

“Steam” position (Figure 17/A). 

The appliance heats up. “HEATING UP” 
appears in the display. After a short 
while the display “STEAM READY” 
appears.

0

Press the coffee selection button. 
“STEAM” appears in the display.

Important:

 Using the knob for regulat-

ing the froth (Figure 2/A) you can set 
the amount of froth (more or less 
added air) and the temperature of the 
milk to your taste (Figure 16/A, B, C). 
To do this turn the knob slowly to the 
right or to the left until you achieve 
the desired result.
