a) Follow steps a – d above in chapter 7. Using the black silicon grip, pull frothing
wand forward and insert the frothing wand into the milk about half way down
the pitcher, then turn the Selector Dial to the right, steam/frothing " "
position. Steam will be produced from the wand and will heat the milk.
Slowly move the pitcher around and heat to desired temperature.
TIP:
Milk will start to scorch around 176°F so we suggest to stop frothing
when the temperature reaches 170°F.
b) When the desired temperature is reached, turn the Selector Dial to the center
"•" position.
CAUTION!
Never remove the frothing wand from the milk while
the Selector Dial is still in the steam position " ". Always turn the Selector
Dial to the center "•" position before removing the frothing wand from the
milk or it could cause hot milk to splatter.
NOTE:
Carefully clean the frothing wand with a wet cloth immediately after
steaming to avoid milk build up. Take care to avoid contact with hot parts.
c) Pour the steamed milk into the prepared espresso, now the latte is ready.
Sweeten to taste and add any ingredients you desire such as flavored
syrups, extracts or cocoa powder/spices.
NOTE:
After steaming, we recommended you allow the machine to cool
down for at least 5 minutes before making espresso again. This allows the
machine to cool down from steaming temperature to the proper espresso
brewing temperature. If multiple lattes will be made, prepare all the espressos
first into hot cups and then steam the milk after.
TIP:
If you would like to prepare more espresso immediately after steaming
milk, the boiler must be refilled with cold water in order to bring the boiler’s
temperature down and avoid a burnt espresso taste from brewing at too
high of a temperature. Press the Coffee/Steam button until the indicator light
turns solid blue. Place a large empty cup on the drip tray and turn the
Selector Dial towards the cup symbol " ". Allow the cup to fill with water to
empty the hot water from the boiler. Once steam stops dispensing from the
portafilter and only water comes out, turn the Selector Dial to the center "•"
position to stop the flow of hot water and remove the portafilter. Dry the
portafilter well and the boiler should be at the correct temperature for
espresso brewing.
9. Cleaning the Frothing Wand
It is recommended to wipe the frothing wand clean with a damp cloth each and
every time immediately after frothing or steaming milk to prevent build up. Deep
clean the frothing wand before turning OFF the machine to ensure cleanliness.
a) Wipe off as much milk residue as possible from the frothing wand using a
damp cloth.
CAUTION!
The frothing wand may be hot!
b) Ensure the Coffee/Steam button is illuminated white for the steam/froth
function. Using the black silicon frothing grip, move the frothing wand down
toward the hole in the drip tray and turn the Selector Dial to the right, steam/
frothing " " position to release steam for about 10 seconds in order to clear
the internal tubing. Turn the Selector Dial back to the center "•" position.
