8. Drawing off steam
Steam can be used for warming
up all kinds of liquids and for
frothing up milk for cappuccino.
Ensure that for heating the mov-
able tube of the nozzle is pushed
up. For frothing, the tube must
be down.
●
Fill the water tank with fresh
tap water (no further than the
mark) and replace it in the machine, ensuring that it clicks
home correctly.
●
Now turn on the power switch ( ). When the heater
warning lamp ( ) goes out, the machine is ready for use.
●
Insert the nozzle in the liquid you wish to heat or the milk
you wish to froth and turn the selector switch to the steam
position (
).
●
When steam is being drawn off, the operating switch (
)
must not be turned on!
Attention: Hot steam can cause scalding.
Important: Only insert about half the length of the nozzle
into the liquid so that the air supply is not
obstructed. The tip of the nozzle must never touch
the bottom of the cup otherwise the flow of steam
is obstructed.
●
Once the required amount of steam has been draw off, turn
the selector switch back to the coffee position (
).
Note: The heater warning lamp ( ) may light up while steam
is being drawn off. The maximum length of time during
which steam should be drawn off is 1 1/2 minutes.
When the frothing function is used, a little water comes
out of the nozzle first before actual steam can be drawn
off, this has no effect on the success of the frothing
process, for example when milk is frothed up.
8.1 Important after drawing off steam
After steam has been drawn off, the system is very hot. In or-
der to protect the machine, it must be cooled down each time
after steam has been drawn off by drawing off water (as per
Section 7). Draw off water until the heater warning lamp ( )
lights up again. Drawing off water also cleans the inside of the
frothing nozzle.
After drawing off steam, the outside of the nozzle should
always be cleaned with a damp cloth.
9. Cleaning and maintenance
By cleaning the machine thoroughly you can extend the
operating life of the appliance and maintain the high quality
of the coffee it prepares.
9.1 Emptying the grounds container
The system may cause the “Empty grounds container” warn-
ing lamp (
) to light up briefly. When it lights up constantly,
the grounds container must be emptied. Hygienic reasons
make it advisable to empty the container once a day.
●
Move the adjustable coffee spout to its uppermost position
to avoid damaging the spout when removing the residual
water container.
●
Take the residual water container out of the machine
(Fig. 7). Be careful as there is water in the container.
●
Remove the grounds container and dispose of the grounds.
●
Clean and replace the grounds and water containers. The
red warning lamp (
) goes out.
9.2 Emptying the residual water container
As soon as the residual water indicator (red float) appears
above the drip tray cover, it is necessary to empty the residual
water container.
