HOW TO MAKE A CAPPUCCINO:
IMPORTANT:
If you have made espresso prior to making your cappuccino it is important that
you remove the coffee handle and throw away the used coffee grinds. You may then install the
handle back into the group or leave off completely. Failure to remove the used coffee can cause a
build-up of steam in the handle when making cappuccino and result in a sudden burst of steam to
escape when removing the handle. If the handle is left off any water that drips from the group will
drip into the bottom tray, this dripping is normal.
Some hints to making perfect cappuccino are:
Don’t use milk directly from the refrigerator. Remove milk from refrigerator a few minutes before
using. You may use whole, 2 %, 1 %, soy or skim milk. Skim and 1% will not hold up a froth as
long as the others. If your cappuccino is not hot enough leave the steam wand in a little longer.
Do not make cappuccino if coffee/ready light is not off (M).
To produce steam
; The on/off switch ( R ) should be on, turn the steam-on switch (Q) to the on
position the light above the button (P) will start to flash and continue to flash until the button is
turned off. You will notice that the coffee light ( M ) has come on. This light acts as your ready
indicator,
when it turns
off the machine has reached proper temperature
. This will take about one
minute, in the meantime you can prepare your milk. Take your favorite cup and fill a little less then
¾ with milk. When the coffee/ready light has gone off position the steam wand over the drip tray
or an empty cup (fig. 6) and open the steam button (O) for a moment to release any water that may
have built-up in the tube. Swivel the steam wand back out and place the steam wand about half way
into your cup (fig.7) Open the steam button (fig. O) by pressing down and allow the froth to rise. As
the froth rises slowly lower the cup. Release the steam button when the cup is full. Finish by
adding your espresso coffee. With a little practice you will be an expert in no time !
After making your cappuccino it is important to clean out the steam tube. Position the steam wand
over the drip tray and open the steam button to remove any built-up milk and steam that may have
accumulated in the steam wand.
After this procedure turn off the steam- on button (Q) and wait a
minute before removing the coffee handle slowly in case any steam has accumulated.
When you are finished making your cappuccino remember to turn off the steam switch
, (Fig Q)
t
he light will stop pulsing.
HOW TO PRODUCE HOT WATER:
Water should be in the tank with the On-off switch ( R ) on. Wait for the coffee light (M) to go off,
Place your cup underneath the steam wand and turn on the coffee button. (.S) open the steam
button (O) Water will exit from the wand. Turn the coffee button (S) to the off position when
finished, then release the steam switch.
CLEANING:
Regular maintenance of the following components will insure that your espresso machine is
operating at peak perfomance.
AT THE END OF EVERY DAYS FINAL USE:
1. After emptying your coffee filter basket place the coffee handle back into the group. Your
machine should be on and water should be in the tank. Place a cup under the handle, turn on the
coffee switch (S) and allow 6 to 8 ounces of water to cycle through. This will keep the handle,
cremadisc and coffee group free of coffee grinds.
