Tips :
• Water quality is vital for a good espresso, so
we recommend that you use
only
fresh cold
water.
•
Preheat the cups before making
espresso
, as this will help it to retain its
temperature. A simple way to do this : first
fill the cups with hot water (see paragraph
«The Hot Water Function »).
. THE STEAM FUNCTION
You can use the steam function to:
. easily obtain milk with more or less froth to
make a cappuccino or a café crème,
. heating liquids.
Practical tips :
. Cappuccino
: 1/3 coffee, 1/3 hot milk, 1/3
milk foam.
. Café crème
: 1/2 coffee, 1/2 hot milk, not
too frothy.
1. Frothing milk
• For best results, make sure the cappuccino
accessory (h) is correctly positioned on the
end of the steam/hot water nozzle (g). This
accessory must only be used for foaming
milk.

and
position the switch (c) to «I». The
temperature indicator light (e) flashes
(green).
• Press the «
» function button (d) : The

and flashes.
• Pour the desired quantity of skimmed or
semi-skimmed milk into a narrow jug which
will fit beneath the nozzle (g).
Both the
milk and the jug should be nice and
cold.
Once the appliance reaches the correct
temperature, the temperature indicator light
(e) becomes fixed (yellow).
• Immerse the tip of the nozzle (g) in the milk
(4)
.
• Set the function selector (b) to the position
« ». The tip must not touch the bottom of
the container so as not to prevent the
passage of steam.
• Once you have obtained the foam, reset the
function selector (b) to the central position
and remove your jug.
• Immediately after use, remove the cappuc-
cino accessory (h) and clean the steam/hot
water nozzle (g) using a damp sponge. You
can also produce steam for a moment,
pointing the nozzle (g) towards the grille, in
order to eliminate any remaining trace of
milk.
