2. Swing the steam valve outwards. This way you are able to place the jug (please
use a heat resistant jug) comfortably under the valve. Hint: Place an empty jug
under the valve, close the steam control switch and for partly opening the steam
valve please turn counter clockwise so all condensation build within the steam
valve can escape.
3. Close the steam valve.
4. Fill the jug one third with fresh cold milk (warm, hot or old milk will not froth).
5. Immerse the steam valve just below the surface of the milk and open the steam
valve. To regulate the quantity of steam turn the steam control knob.
6. Move the jug slightly up and down. Once the milk has reached the desired volu-
me you can heat it up even more by immersing the steam valve almost to the
bottom of the jug. Do not boil the mild because the froth will be destroyed.
7. Turn the steam control knob clockwise to close the steam valve. Press the
steam button again, to stop the steam.
8. Spoon the foam into the espresso than Add liquid milk. Cappuccino usually con-
sists of one third coffee, one third hot milk and one third frothed milk.
Your cappuccino is now ready to be served. Sprinkle sugar, chocolate powder
or cinnamon on top.
Cleaning the steam valve
•
After frothing the steam valve should be cleaned immediately.
•
Once the milk has dried on, it will be very hard to remove it. Soak the steam
pipe over night in a cup of water to remove the milk. Put a heat resistant jug fil-
led with water under the valve and open the steam valve. Wipe the steam valve
with a damp towel, to remove the milk. If you would like to proceed making
espresso after producing steam, put an empty jug under the brew head. Press
the pump button, to refill the water supply for the heating system. When water
runs out the brew head and the steam- and the readiness lamp switch of relea-
se the pump button. Wait until the readiness light switches on again.
Producing Steam
•
You can easily heat up and prepare tea, soup etc.
•
Proceed as described under 1 –7 „making Cappuccino” but instead of milk plea-
se pour the liquid to be heated in the jug.
•
During producing steam please close the steam valve entirely. In case the
steam control lamp switches off or no steam is being produced, the water tank
is possibly empty. Press the pump button and as soon as water runs out the
brew head release the pump button. Please wait until the steam and readiness
lamp switch on. Then you can proceed producing steam as explained above.
Please Note: Whilst using the steam function water can spill out the steam
valve, this is entirely normal. However caution should be taken to avoid scal-
ding.
