STEAM WAND MANUAL PURGE
To reduce steam wand blockages, we
recommend running steam through the steam
wand after milk texturing. Lower and point
steam wand directly on drip tray and away from
users and press the steam button to run steam
to rinse steam wand, or press and hold steam
button for 3 seconds, to activate the steam wand
purge. This will run short water pulses through
the steam wand.
NOTE
Both 1 Cup and 2 Cup buttons will blink during
the steam purge function.
WARNING
After pressing steam button, the steam can’t
stop immediately, it needs a few seconds to
completely stop steam.
STEAM WAND BLOCKED
Regularly check steam performance. If the
steam wand is blocked, it will immediately stop
operating. See ‘Cleaning the Steam Wand’ for
further instructions.
HOT WATER OPERATON
Hot water through the steam wand
When machine is on ‘ready mode’, press hot
water button, and hot water flow will start
through the steam wand. Press any button to
stop hot water flow.
WARNING
Cup temperature is at 90°C (194°F). Be careful
in handling hot beverages.
MANUAL MILK TEXTURING
• Lift the steam wand and insert into the
milk jug with the steam wand tip 1-2cm
( O inch) below the surface of the milk,
close to the right-hand side of the jug at
a 3 o’clock position.
• Press the STEAM button to begin texturing
• Keep the steam wand tip just under the
surface of the milk until the milk is spinning
clockwise, producing a vortex (whirlpool
effect).
• With the milk spinning, slowly lower the jug.
This will bring the steam wand tip to the
surface of the milk and start to introduce air
into the milk.
• Gently break the surface of the milk with the
tip to get the milk spinning fast enough.
• Keep the steam wand tip at or slightly
below the surface, continuing to maintain
the vortex. Texture the milk until sufficient
volume is obtained.
• Lift the jug to lower the tip beneath the
surface but keep the vortex spinning. The
milk is at the correct temperature (60-65°C)
when the jug is hot to touch.
• When texturing is close to acceptable desired
result, press any button to stop texturing.
• After the steam is released completely,
remove the steam wand from the milk jug.
• Wipe the wand and tip with a clean
damp cloth.
