FROTHING MILK
Steam can be used to froth milk by using the steam wand with the frothing nozzle (for example to make
a cappuccino or latte.) As the machine produces steam, the pump will make an operating sound. This
sound is normal and is an indication that the machine is operating properly.
IMPORTANT! During and after using the steam wand, the metal parts of the steam
wand can become very hot. Take care when handling the steam wand to avoid
injury.
