9. 

MAKING CAPPUCCINOS AND MILK-

BASED COFFEES

Please note! 

To avoid milk with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean the 
milk container lid (E2) and hot water connection nozzle (A8) 
as described in sections "9.4  Cleaning the milk container after 
use", "12.10 Cleaning the milk container" and "12.11 Cleaning 
the hot water nozzle". 

9.1  Filling and attaching the milk container

1.  Remove the lid (E2) (fig. 14);
2.  Fill the milk container (E3) with a sufficient quantity of milk, 

not exceeding the MAX level marked on the container (fig. 
15). Each mark on the side of the container corresponds to 
about 100 ml of milk;

Please note! 

•  For a denser more even froth, you must use skimmed or 

partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about 

5°C). 

•  If "Energy Saving" mode is enabled, you may have to wait a 

few seconds before the beverage is delivered.

3.  Make sure the milk intake tube (E4) is correctly inserted in 

the bottom of the milk container lid (fig. 16);

4.  Place the lid back on the milk container;
5.  Remove the hot water spout (D6);
6.  Attach the milk container (E) to the connection nozzle (A8) 

and push as far as it will go (fig. 17). The machine emits a 
beep (if the beep function is enabled);

7.  Place a sufficiently large cup under the coffee spouts (A9) 

and the frothed milk spout (E5). Adjust the length of the 
milk spout. To move it nearer the cup, simply pull it down-
wards (fig. 18).

8.  Follow the instructions below for each function.

9.2  Adjusting the amount of froth

Turn the froth adjustment dial (E1) to adjust the amount of froth 
on the milk delivered while making cappuccinos and milk-based 
coffees.

automatically

1.  Fill the milk container (E) and attach it as described above.
2.  Select the required beverage: 

•  CAPPUCCINO
•  LATTE MACCHIATO

•  HOT MILK 
•  CAP
•  CAPPUCCINO MIX
•  CAFFELATTE
•  FLAT WHITE
•  ESPRESSO MACCHIATO

3.  A message on the display instructs you to turn the froth 

adjustment dial (E1) according to the froth required by the 
original recipe. Turn the dial on the milk container lid.

4.  After a few seconds, preparation begins automatically and 

an image of the selected beverage appears on the display, 
together with a progress bar which gradually fills as prepa-
ration progresses.

Once the coffee has been made, the appliance is ready to make 
the next beverage.

Please note: general indications when preparing all milk-

based beverages

• 

: press to interrupt preparation completely 

and go back to the homepage.

• 

: press to interrupt milk or coffee delivery and 

move on to the next delivery (if applicable) to complete the 

beverage.

•  Preparation of each coffee can be customised (see section 

"11. Customising the beverages").

•  Do not leave the milk container out of the refrigerator for 

long periods. The warmer the milk (5°C is ideal), the poorer 
the quality of froth produced. 

9.4   Cleaning the milk container after use 

Each time you use a milk function, "TURN MILK FROTH ADJUST-
MENT DIAL" "TO CLEAN POSITION" appears on the display and 
the milk frother lid must be cleaned:
