2. STEAM FUNCTION
The steam function can be used for texturing
milk.
Important: There is a risk of scalding when
the steam nozzle is in use. Hot water or
hot steam can cause scalding. Only use the
steam wand when it is immersed in the milk.
• Fill the water reservoir (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)
with cold water and start the unit (6).
• Position the steam wand so that the tip is
over the drip tray.
• Turn the dial to the steam (
) position
(21). Some water will come out of the
steam wand. Once steam starts to come
out turn the dial to the off (
) position
(26).
• Swing the steam nozzle to the side of the
machine (22).
• Pour cold milk into a stainless steel jug to
no more than
1
/3
full.
Tip: For best results we recommend using
refrigerated milk and a stainless steel jug
that is well chilled. Be sure not to rinse the
jug with warm water before use.
• Hold the jug under the steam wand so that
the nozzle opening is completely immersed
in the milk. Turn the operating dial to the
(
) setting to activate the steam and
commence texturing the milk (23).
Tip: For instructions on how to texture milk
refer to section 'Tips for Milk Texturing'.
• Angle jug so the steam wand is resting in
the spout of the jug and position the tip of
the steam wand just below the surface of
the milk (24).
Note: The nozzle must not touch the
bottom of the jug to ensure that the steam
release is not obstructed.
• Move the jug so that the steam wand is in
the 3 o'clock position, this will create a
whirlpool motion to the milk. As the steam
heats the milk, the milk will begin to rise.
Follow the level of the milk by lowering the
jug, always keeping the tip of the steam
nozzle just below the surface (25).
• When milk is at temperature close the
steam by turning the dial back to the off
(
) position (26).
Note: Do not boil the milk.
Cleaning the steam wand
You must clean the steam wand immediately
after each use. Simply wipe the stainless
steel steam wand clean with a damp cloth.
Also, briefly turn the operating dial to steam
(
) setting to clear any remaining milk out
of the steam wand (27).
Caution: Steam from the wand is extremely
hot and there is danger of scalding.
Note: Should your steam wand become
blocked, supplied with your espresso
machine is a cleaning wire. The cleaning
wire is located on the underside of the lid to
the water reservoir (28). With the cleaning
wire insert it into the hole in the base of
the steam wand (29). Should the steam
wand/arm remain blocked, unscrew the
steam nozzle from the steam arm (30) clean
the steam nozzle by once again using the
cleaning wire and flush under running water.
