9 Frothing milk
The steam can be used to froth milk
and to heat liquids. Since a higher
temperature is needed to produce
steam than to make coffee, the coffee
machine has an additional steam
mode.
3
To make a cappuccino, fill a large cup
1/2 to 2/3 full with espresso, and then
add the frothed milk.
1
Caution! Danger of scalding when the
steam nozzle is activated! Hot water or
steam output can cause scalding. Do
not activate the steam nozzle until it is
immersed in the milk.
0
To produce steam, press the "Steam"
key
(Fig. 23).
The symbol comes on and the appli-
ance heats up. During the heating
process, the symbol flashes.
When the heating process is finished,
the symbol remains constantly on.
The machine is ready for the milk
frothing.
3
If the steam function is not used for
longer than 2 minutes, the machine
switches back automatically to the
coffee mode.
3
To avoid any residual water mixing in
with the milk when frothing, the water
should be drained off beforehand. To
do this, place a container under the
steam nozzle and turn the knob for
steam and hot water (Fig. 10) to posi-
tion
until steam emission starts.
Then turn the knob back to position .
0
Pour low-fat, cold milk into a mug
which must be small enough to fit
under the steam nozzle.
3
The milk should be cold. You should
also use a cold mug, preferably a stain-
less steel one, which should not be
rinsed beforehand in hot water.
0
Swing out the steam nozzle and hold
the mug under the steam nozzle so
that the nozzle opening is just
immersed in the milk (Fig. 24).
1
Attention! Risk of impurities from
dried on milk residues in the steam
nozzle. Take care not to immerse the
steam nozzle in the milk far enough to
cover the air intake opening at the top
of the steam nozzle. Otherwise milk
can be sucked into the nozzle and
cause impurities in the steam nozzle.
0
Turn the knob for steam and hot water
(Fig. 10) to the position
. The milk
is frothed.
3
To obtain a creamier froth, slowly move
the container upwards. Froth the milk
to at least twice its volume.
3
You should not discharge steam for
more than two minutes at a time.
To end the frothing, turn the knob for
steam and hot water (Fig. 10) to the
position and then remove the mug.
1
Caution! Danger of scalding from hot
milk spray! Switch the steam off before
removing the mug with the frothed
milk.
0
Exit the steam mode by pressing the
"Steam" key
(Fig. 23) or wait approx.
120 sec. for the machine to automati-
cally return to the coffee mode.
Now the machine is once again ready
for making coffee.
0
Each time you have frothed milk, let
off some hot water through the nozzle
for a short time by turning the knob
for steam and hot water (Fig. 10) to the
position.
This is necessary to prevent milk resi-
dues drying inside the nozzle, and
thereby blocking it. Use a suitable con-
tainer to catch the water. During this
process the symbol
comes on.
0
Then return the knob to the position
; the last selected coffee setting is
shown in the display.
9.1 Cleaning the steam nozzle
Important: To guarantee hygiene, you
are recommended to follow this proce-
dure each time you make frothed milk,
to avoid milk stagnating in the nozzle.
