b. Insert the capsule portafilter head

HOW TO STEAM MILK
1. Fill the water tank to the “MAX” marking
with clean, filtered water.
2. Fill a milk pitcher or cup about 1/3 to ½
full with cold milk.
NOTE:
Any type of milk can be used –
soy, rice, almond, coconut, etc. – but
full fat dairy milk creates the best froth.
3. Insert the milk frothing wand tip just
below the surface of the milk.
4. Turn the knob to the “steam” position.
NOTE:
The ready indicator light will
pulse while the water is heating up.
Once the Coffee House reaches the
correct temperature, the ready indicator
light will turn solid. Some water and
steam may come out of milk frothing
wand while the Coffee House heats
up, and it will take a few moments for
steam to reach full operating pressure.
5. Steam your milk until it reaches the
desired texture and temperature.
NOTE:
Steaming milk makes a hissing
noise. Take care near hot steam to
avoid burns and scalds.
6. When finished, turn the knob to the
“standby” position. Then, remove the
milk frothing wand from the milk pitcher
or cup.
NOTE:
After steaming milk, the knob
must be turned to the “standby” position
for approximately 35 seconds before
starting the next brew cycle. If the knob
is turned directly to the “brew” position
after steaming milk, the Coffee House
will beep, the display will go blank, and
the Coffee House will not brew coffee.
To fix the error, the knob will need to
be turned to the “standby” position for
approximately 35 seconds.
7. Remember to clean the milk frothing
wand after every use. For instructions
on how to do so, please refer to the
cleaning section.
8. Enjoy!
NOTE:
When the knob is turned to
the “standby” position after steaming
milk, the Coffee House will enter an
automatic cool-down cycle that lasts
approximately 35 seconds. During this
cycle, the ready indicator light will pulse
and water will be released into the
drip tray though an internal channel. A
notable volume of steam will be emitted
from the drip tray. When the ready
indicator light turns solid, the Coffee
House has cooled down and is ready to
use.
Helpful Tips for Steaming Milk:
1. Insert the milk frothing wand
tip just below the surface of the
milk.
2. Position the milk frothing wand
and milk pitcher or cup at an
angle that allows the milk to
move in a whirlpool pattern.
3. As the milk level rises, lower the
milk pitcher or cup to keep the
milk frothing wand tip just below
the surface.
4. When the desired texture is
achieved, immerse the milk
frothing wand half way.
ROUTINE CLEANING
Make sure your Coffee House is unplugged
and has cooled completely before
cleaning. We recommend hand washing
all parts to help preserve their appearance.
Do not immerse the main body of the
appliance, power cord and plug in water or
any other liquid.
Filter Coffee
1. Remove the brew basket, brew basket
lid, filter, coffee pot and coffee pot lid
and wash them with warm water and
mild liquid soap. Dry thoroughly.
Capsule
1. Remove the casule portafilter and
discard capsule
2. Rinse the capsule portafilter with water,
shake the water off and dry it on the
outside.
WARNING:
There is a sharp needle in
the lid of the Capsule Portafilter.
Espresso
1. Remove the espresso portafilter and
discard espresso grounds. Release the
filter retainer clip and press over the
filter; holding it in place as you discard
espresso grounds. This helps keep the
filter secured and in place while tapping
against trash bin to discard espresso
grounds.
2. Remove the filter from the espresso
portafilter by twisting the filter until the
bump is aligned with the notch. Wash
the filter and the espresso portafilter
with water and mild liquid soap.
3. Place the filter back into the espresso
portafilter and insert the espresso
portafilter back into the Coffee House.
Follow the same steps for brewing
espresso, but with no espresso in the
filter. Discard the water in the cup.
4. Remove the espresso portafilter from
the Coffee House and dry thoroughly.
NOTE:
The espresso portafilter is NOT
dishwasher safe.
Milk Frothing Wand
1. Remove the milk frothing wand cover
and wash with warm water and mild
liquid soap.
2. With a damp cloth, wipe down the
metal on the milk frothing wand.
3. Fill water tank and place a jug under
the milk frothing wand.
4. Turn the knob to the “steam” position
and press the clean button. The clean
indicator light will illuminate and the
Coffee House will enter a 2-minute
clean cycle, and will emit water and
steam from the steam wand.
5. When the clean indicator light turns off,
turn the knob to the “standby” position.
NOTE:
The Coffee House will then
enter an automatic cool-down cycle
that lasts approximately 35 seconds.
Deep Cleaning the Espresso Filters
- Make sure to deep clean your espresso
filters every 90 days for optimal brewing
performance. Follow these disassembly
instructions and rinse the pieces in a
large bowl of warm water. Once rinsed
thoroughly, wipe dry and reassemble.
Emptying the Drip Tray
1. When the water level indicator rises
above the drip tray cover, carefully slide
the drip tray out from the Coffee House,
remove the drip tray cover, and discard
the water.
2. Place the drip tray cover back on the
drip tray and slide it into the Coffee
House.
