OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9 PREPARING CAPPUCCINOS (USING STEAM)
•
Fill a container with around 100 grams of milk for each cappuccino being
prepared. When choosing the size of the container, remember that the
volume will increase by 2 or 3 times.
It is recommended to use semi
skimmed milk at fridge temperature in a small metal jug.
•
Move the milk frother towards the outside (Fig. 3).
•
Prepare the espresso coffee as described in the previous paragraph,
using sufficiently large cups.
•
Then press the steam button (Fig. 21). The light (Fig. 22) starts fla-
shing to indicate that the machine is heating up.
•
When the light remains on and stops flashing, the temperature of
the machine has reached the ideal value for making the steam (par. 11
- point 6).
•
Immediately after, within a maximum of two minutes
(otherwise the machine automatically returns to the coffee function),
dip the milk frother into the container of milk (Fig. 23), making sure
not to immerse the line in relief on the milk frother (indicated by the
arrow in Fig. 24) and turn the steam knob half a turn anticlockwise
until it stops (Fig. 5).
(Be careful, to avoid being scalded).
The steam relea-
sed will make the milk froth and increase in volume.To make creamier
foam, dip the milk frother into the milk and rotate the container with
slow movements from the bottom to the top (you are recommended
to limit steam delivery to no more than two minutes at a time).
•
Once having reached the desired temperature, stop the steam by tur-
ning the steam knob clockwise until it stops (Fig. 6) and then press the
steam button (Fig. 21) to deactivate the steam function .
•
Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso coffee
prepared previously. The cappuccino is now ready (add sugar to taste
and if desired, sprinkle the foam with a little cocoa powder).
NOTE 1:
: immediately after having prepared the cappuccino, once having
pressed the steam button Fig. 21) to deactivate the function, when pres-
sing the (Fig. 12) or button (Fig. 13) to make coffee again, the
machine is too hot to make coffee (the green
and lights flash to
indicate that the temperature is not suitable); simply wait around ten minu-
tes for the machine to cool down a little.
HINT:To cool it down more quickly, after having deactivated the steam func-
tion, open the steam knob and release some water from the milk frother
into a container, until the green and lights stop flashing.
NOTE 2: The milk frother must always be cleaned after use.
Proceed as follows:
•
Release a little steam for a few seconds by turning the steam knob
anticlockwise until it stops (Fig. 5).
With this operation, the steam spout discharges any milk that may be
left inside. IMPORTANT: For reasons of hygiene, this operation should
always be performed, so as to prevent the milk from remaining in the
circuits inside the milk frother.
•
Turn the knob clockwise as far as it will go. With one hand, hold the
cappuccino tube firm and with the other unscrew the cappuccino
maker itself by rotating clockwise and extracting downwards (fig. 25).
•
Remove the steam nozzle from the delivery spout by pulling it
downwards (Fig. 26).
