1) Steaming milk or other liquids
In order to allow for any condensed water
in the wand to be released, ALWAYS let
some steam be discharged by turning on
the valve before inserting the steam wand
into the pitcher of liquid to be heated.
Dip one of the 2 steam wands connected
to steam valve (part 7, page 8), into the
liquid to be heated, turn the steam knob
gradually until steam comes out at the end
of the wand.
Steam will transfer heat to the liquid
raising its temperature up to boiling point.
Be careful not to allow liquid to overflow in
order to avoid severe burns.
In order to prevent the heated liquid from
being sucked back into steam boiler it is
recommended, before using the wand, to
purge the steam valve and steam wand by
opening the valve for a few seconds, thus
allowing steam to escape to the atmosphere
from steam wand end. Failure to do so
can cause the heated liquid to move from
the heated liquid container to the steam
boiler (via the vacuum created by cooling
parts). This condition is undesireable and
can
cause steam boiler contamination.
After use remember to purge the wand by
opening the steam valve for a few seconds,
and then clean the outside of the wand
itself with an appropriate cloth.
In order to prepare milk for making
cappuccino with the right amount of foam,
go through the following steps:
• After purging the steam wand, place
underneath the container half-full of milk,
carefully open the steam valve and raise
the container so as to bring the wand
end to a point just below the surface of
the milk; now move the container up and
down just enough to dip the nozzle end in
and out of the milk until you get the right
amount of foam, bring the temperature
of the milk almost up to 149/158°F or
65/70°C.
You can then pour this milk into a cup
containing warm espresso, thus obtaining
a fresh cup of cappuccino.
2) Preparing tea and other hot drinks.
You can dispense hot water by using the
fixed nozzle (part 12, page 8).
To dispense hot water, press the hot water
button. This button commands hot water
delivery.
