Dispensing hot water
Place a cup under the hot water spout and press the hot water lever down briefly (see Figure 8). The
flow will stop when the pre-set time has elapsed, or when the lever is pressed down briefly again,
whichever comes first. An interrupted dispensing is not stored in the memory, pressing the hot water
lever again will start a new dispensing cycle.

Steaming
The Spirit has two identical steam wands with solenoid valves activated by a lever on the front of the
machine (see Figure 9) and/or optional foot pedal on the floor. You may reduce the maximum steam
power of an individual steam wand by adjusting the horizontal handle adjacent to the cup warming tray
on top the machine (see Figure 10).
Close to its most downwards position, the steam valve lever will lock in position. Lifting the lever
upwards a little will unlock it so that it automatically returns to the rest position (steam valve closed).
Before steaming milk it is necessary to open the valve for a short while to purge water from the steam
wand and heat up the wand and valve. The purged water is condensate from steam coming in contact
with the cold tubing, valve and wand. Position the tip of the steam wand over the drip tray when
purging the condensate.
Directly after steaming milk, flush the steam wand with a little steam and clean the tip of the steam
wand with a damp cloth. For hygienic reasons, do not use this cloth for anything other than cleaning
the steam tip.
Set maximum steam power
The steam power handle operates a ball valve incorporated in the steam line (see Figure 10).
Changing the position of the handle will adjust the steam power at the steam tip. You cannot
completely close the steam power with the handle to protect the solenoid. Before adjusting the
maximum steam power, make sure that the machine is fully heated up.
It is advised not to decrease the steam power by reducing the steam pressure in the boiler (lower
boiler temperature), as this will reduce the amount of steam that can be produced.
