Important:
To avoid difficult cleaning of the steam wand, make sure milk
froth does not cover the black rubber finger grip at the top of the steam wand.
Note:
After steaming, the machine automatically creates a bit of steam and
pushes the remaining water from the thermoblock into the drip tray. This
ensures that there will be no rest-water in the heating system.
d. Once milk has developed froth or reached the temperature of 160°F, turn the
steam knob clockwise to the off position to stop the flow of steam from the
steam wand.
e. Pour the milk froth over the espresso and enjoy.
f. It is important to clean the steam wand after each use to prevent milk from
hardening and drying inside the wand. To clean the wand, place the steam
wand in a small container filled with water and repeat the above procedure
for at least 30 seconds.
Note:
For thorough cleaning of the steam wand see chapter 11.2.
Caution:
The steam wand will be HOT after frothing. Only reposition the
steam wand using the black rubber finger grip, especially after frothing or
steaming milk or preparing hot water.
8. Preparing Latte
Latte is the combination of one or two shots of espresso with an equal or larger
amount of hot steamed milk with very little, or no froth.
Note:
Without the frothing sleeve, the steam wand will steam, not froth the milk.
Remove the frothing sleeve (Fig. 6). Then proceed with steaming the milk as
described in chapter 7. Pour hot steamed milk over espresso.
Caution:
The steam wand will be HOT after steaming. Only reposition the
steam wand using the black rubber finger grip, especially after frothing or
steaming milk or preparing hot water.
9. Hot Water
The Utima PRO can produce hot water for tea or Americanos by using the
steam wand. Always make sure the steam wand is well cleaned and free of
dried milk deposits before making hot water.
a. Press "Hot Water" button, the "Single Cup", "Double Cup" and "Steam"
lights will turn off. Put a container under the steam wand to catch hot water.
b. Turn the steam knob counterclockwise to the "steam" icon and hot water
will flow from the steam wand. When the cup is filled with the desired
amount of hot water, turn the steam knob clockwise to the off position and
hot water stops flowing immediately.
c. Repeat above procedure if more hot water is needed.
10. Turning OFF the Ultima PRO
We suggest turning off the machine when not in use. If you forget to turn off
the machine, it will automatically shut off after 30 minutes of inactivity.
a. After making the last coffee or frothing milk, wait approximately 15 seconds
so that the thermoblock can release any steam and rest-water into the drip
tray. This is perfectly normal.
b. Now push the On/Off button to turn off the machine. The indicator lights will
turn off.
