Steam and hot water
The device is equipped with a steam/hot water wand that can foam the milk to
perfection, producing the creamy and compact foam that is the mark of the real
cappuccino.
G
Preparing the coffee machine
G.1
Press the steam switch (4). The LCC display (12) will flash, showing the water
temperature in the boiler. Wait until the bar is complete, so that the machine
reaches the operating temperature for steam dispensing.
G.2 When the desired temperature is reached, the bar will disappear and the
steam icon will appear, accompanied by an indication to turn the steam/hot
water dispensing knob (11). The machine is now ready for use.
Caution.
Never place your hands or other body parts under the steam/hot water
wand. Risk of scalding.
H
Steam distribution
H.1 Open the knob (11) counterclockwise with the steam / hot water wand (13)
pointed at the cup-holding grate (7) and release the initial amount of water.
H.2 When steam comes out, close the knob (11), place a jug with the beverage
to be foamed under the steam wand and re-open the steam/hot water knob (11).
H.3 When the desired result has been achieved, close the steam/hot water knob
(11) turning it clockwise and press the steam switch (4) to turn off the steam func-
tion.
Note.
The machine, thanks to its electronic controls, returns to the coffee/water
function if the steam function has not been used for a certain period.
Note.
See chapter 06 “The art of Espresso coffee” for the best way to froth milk.
Caution.
Clean the steam/hot water wand (13) after every use by pointing the
steam wand to the cup-holding grate and dispensing some steam. Thoroughly clean the
wand (13) with a sponge or clean cloth. In the chapter “Cleaning and maintenance”, you
will find all the necessary advice.
