nozzle, proceed as follows:
- Press the steam button to turn the steam function off. The steam and espresso buttons
start flashing.
- Hold a heat-proof container under the frothing nozzle.
To prevent hot water splashes, we recommend that you put some water into the
container first before submerging the nozzle.
Turn the rotary control slowly anti-clockwise as far as it will go. Steam followed by hot
water will be emitted from the nozzle.
After a short while, the selector buttons light up permanently, the steam button light
goes out and a short beep signal is heard.
Close the rotary control by turning it clockwise.
The nozzle has now been flushed, the unit has cooled down and it is now ready to make
coffee again.
- Press the On/Off switch to turn the appliance off.
Cleaning the frothing nozzle
Do not wait too long before cleaning the steam tube and nozzle; internal deposits in these
components are difficult to remove at a later time (see section ‘Cleaning’).
Brewing and frothing temperatures or heating up / cooling down the unit
Brewing coffee or espresso requires lower temperatures than those required for the steam
function for frothing milk.
When the steam button is pressed, the unit will take around a minute to bring the
temperature up from the brewing level to that required for generating steam.
Steam button pressed accidentally?
Should the steam button have been accidentally pressed, the steam function can be
deactivated by pressing the button again. It is possible, however, that the temperature level
has already increased to such a degree that you may have to wait up to 15 minutes for the
system to cool down to regular brewing temperature.
Rapid cool-down
The cooling-down process can be accelerated considerably down to approximately 20 to 30
seconds. Simply proceed as described in the previous section ‘Generating frothy milk’, ‘After
the frothing process – under releasing steam’.
Hot water
This function is useful for e.g. pre-heating espresso cups or for dispensing hot water for tea.
- Press the On/Off switch to turn the appliance on. The switch starts flashing. As soon as
the selector buttons are permanently on, a beep signal is heard and the unit is ready to
dispense water
- Place or hold a suitable container under the frothing nozzle.
Turn the rotary control slowly anti-clockwise as far as it will go. Hot water will be
delivered from the frothing nozzle straight into the container.
- When the desired amount has been drawn, turn the rotary control all the way back
clockwise.
