day in order to quickly rinse the system and

hot.
Making steam
Steam makes the milk frothy for a cappuc-
cino, and also preheats cups or any kind of
liquid; the noise you hear during this
operation is caused by the intermittent
running of the water pump.
Please note :
Before making steam, make sure that the
capsule holder on the machine is empty to
prevent the coffee becoming dried out and
blocking the hole in the coffee outlet.
Frothing milk for a cappuccino
You can make the milk frothy in order to whip
up a cappuccino. For best results, use the
accessory specially designed for this purpose.
Fit it onto the steam / hot water nozzle
(16) .
Please note:
This accessory must only be used for this
purpose.
•
Pour about 100 ml of skimmed milk into a
small high-sided container (maximum
capacity 0.5 L) which will fit beneath the
steam nozzle; the container must also be
chilled (do not rinse it in hot water before
use).
•
First prepare an espresso, but only fill the
cup halfway.
•
Remove the used capsule and replace the
empty capsule holder. Set the hot water /
steam selector to position «
» (17) .
•
When the yellow temperature indicator light
goes out, dip the the steam nozzle in the
container holding the milk in such a way
that its end is completely immersed in the
milk.
•
Turn the function selector to position « »
(18) . During preparation, do not move the
container and make sure that the nozzle
does not touch the bottom, as this would
prevent steam from escaping. Once the
operation is finished, turn the function
selector to position « ».
•
Remove the container and turn the function
selector just for a second to position « » in
order to eliminate the residue of the milk
which might remain in the end of the
nozzle.
• Remove the “ cappuccino ” accessory from
the steam / hot water nozzle and clean it
(see “ Maintenance ” section). Clean the
nozzle immediately with a damp sponge.
