• Resetting to default single cup and double cup volumes:
Keep both the single and double cup button pressed for approx. 5 seconds.
An acoustic signal sounds 3 times and all button indicators flash 5 times. The
appliance is now reset to its original default settings.
FROTHING MILK
NOTE
To prepare a traditional cappuccino or latte, we recommend using cold, fresh
whole milk. The density of the frothed milk depends on the milk's fat content. Use
a stainless steel, circular, rounded milk jug, narrower at the top, with a spout, in
order to make decorations with the froth.
1. Before starting to froth milk, slightly move the steam wand outwards in order to
be able to insert a jug directly under it and facilitate the movements required to
froth the milk correctly.
2. Press the steam button. The steam indicator starts flashing if the temperature is
not high enough to make steam. Once the preheating is finished, the steam
indicator lights up continuously.
3. Turn the steam knob slightly counter-clockwise to eliminate any condensation from
the steam wand, then turn the knob to the OFF setting again.
4. Place a jug, half-filled with cold milk, under the steam wand.
5. Place the tip of the steam wand just below the surface of the milk. If it is inserted
too deep, the milk won't be frothed; if it is not inserted deep enough, big bubbles
will be produced and then disappear immediately. It is important to keep the
steam wand not at the center but close to the edge of the jug, with an appropriate
angle to produce a stronger vortex.
6. Turn the steam knob to the steam/hot water setting. Steam is released from the
steam wand.
7. To froth the milk correctly, the steam wand must always be in contact with the
milk and not with the froth. Therefore, as the layer of froth increases, the jug must
be slightly raised, albeit without the steam wand touching the bottom of the jug.
8. Once the desired frothing has been achieved, the steam wand must be pushed
deeper to heat the milk well. Keep a hand on the rounded part of the jug to feel
the temperature of the milk.
9. Once the desired result has been achieved, turn the steam knob to the OFF
setting to stop releasing steam. Press the steam button to quit the steam mode.
NOTE
The entire operation should last no longer than 3 minutes. The appliance automatically
stops releasing steam after 3 minutes of continuous operation.
10. Remove the jug. To make the froth more compact, lightly tap the jug on a flat
surface after frothing. Pour the frothed milk into the coffee.
11. Turn the steam knob to the steam/hot water setting to eliminate any milk residue
from the steam wand. Then turn the knob to the OFF setting again.
NOTE
• The steam wand is very hot during and after use. To avoid bums, move it only
by placing your fingers on the steam wand handle.
• Do not make espresso immediately after frothing milk. The temperature of the
appliance is too high, and thus it is under overheating protection. In this state,
the single and double cup indicators flash if you press either of the buttons.
Either let the appliance cool down completely, or proceed as follows to cool
it down quickly:
1. Turn the steam knob to the steam/hot water position to dispense hot water
in order to cool down the appliance.
2. Once the temperature of the appliance is down, all the button indicators
light up continuously.
3. Return the knob to the OFF setting. The appliance is now ready for the next
brew.
DISPENSING HOT WATER
1. Press the on/off button and wait until all button indicators up.
2. Place a cup under the steam wand.
3. Turn the steam knob to the steam/hot water setting. Hot water is dispensed from
the steam wand.
4. Once the desired amount of hot water has been dispensed, turn the steam knob
to the OFF setting.
NOTE
• The entire operation should last no longer than 40 seconds. The appliance
automatically stops dispensing hot water after 40 seconds of continuous operation.
If you want more hot water, run the cycle again.
• The steam wand is very hot during and after use. To avoid bums, move it only
by placing your fingers on the steam wand handle.
