Making a cappuccino
1. Prepare the espresso coffee as described in the
previous paragraphs, using cups that are large
enough
2. Rotate the selector dial to the position (fig. 13).
3. While waiting for the OK light, fill a container with
about 100 grams of milk for every cappuccino
to be prepared. The milk must be at refrigerator
temperature (5°C). When choosing the container
consider that the volume of the milk will increase by
2 or 3 times.
Please Note:
It is recommended to use semi-skimmed milk at
refrigerator temperature.
4. Position the container with the milk under the
cappuccino nozzle.
5. Wait for the
OK
light to switch on. This indicates
that the boiler has reached the ideal temperature
for steam production, when reaching the ideal
temperature, it is normal for a small puff of steam
and water to be released, and collected in the drip
tray.
6. Extract the cappuccino nozzle by pulling it and
rotating it towards the left (fig. 14): pay attention
not to touch the boiler outlet because it is hot.
Position the container with the milk under the
cappuccino nozzle.
7. Dip the cappuccino nozzle into the milk a few
millimeters (fig. 15). Turn the steam dial anti-
clockwise (fig. 16), for at least half a turn. Steam
escapes from the cappuccino nozzle giving the milk
a creamy appearance and increasing its volume. To
obtain a creamier froth, dip the cappuccino nozzle
into the milk and turn the container with slow
movements from the bottom upwards.
8. When the volume of the milk has doubled, dip the
cappuccino nozzle deep down and continue to heat
the milk (fig. 17). When the desired temperature
(ideal value is 60°C) and the desired milk froth have
been reached, interrupt the steam by turning the
steam dial clockwise (fig. 18) and turn the selector
dial to the position.
To switch off the appliance, turn the selector dial to
the position.
9. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the
previously prepared espresso coffee. The cappuccino
is ready. Add sugar and sprinkle a little powder
chocolate on top of the froth if desired.
Please Note:
• If more than one cappuccino is to be prepared, first
make all of the coffees and then prepare the milk for
all of the cappuccinos;
• If more coffee must be prepared after the
milk has been frothed, allow the boiler to
cool first otherwise the coffee may be burned.
To cool it, position a container under the filter-holder
spouts, turn the selector dial to the position (fig.
8); allow water to run out until the steam function
light switches off; turn the selector dial to the
position and prepare coffee as illustrated before.
• Maximum steam delivery of 60 seconds is
recommended and the milk must not be frothed
more than 3 times consecutively.
Cleaning the Cappuccino nozzle
The cappuccino nozzle must always be washed after
each use to ensure hygiene. Proceed as follows:
1. Discharge a small amount of steam for a few seconds
(see points 2,5 and 6 of the previous paragraph) by
turning the steam dial (fig. 16). By doing this, the
cappuccino nozzle clears any milk left inside. Switch
the appliance off by turning the selector dial in
position.
2. Use one hand to hold the cappuccino tube and the
other to release the cappuccino nozzle by turning it
clockwise (fig. 19).
3. Wash the cappuccino nozzle thoroughly in warm
water.
4. Make sure that the holes indicated by the arrows (fig.
20) are not blocked. Clean using a pin if necessary.
5. Re-mount the steam maker by inserting it firmly
upwards into the steam tube.
6. Re-mount the cappuccino nozzle by inserting it
upwards and turning it anti-clockwise.
