11. Use of the MCS
The MCS (Milk Control System) is an automatic milk heating system.
With the MCS it is possible to froth milk at a pre-set temperature. The frothed
milk obtained is comparable to that of the best baristas. Using the MCS is as
simple as putting a quantity of cold milk in a jug, placing it under the MCS
wand, and pressing the P6 button (Fig.3). When the milk has reached the
preset temperature (programmed during the installation of the machine),
the steam supply will stop automatically and the frothed milk will be ready
for use.
WARNING
Do not use the MCS with the steam wand facing the operator or another
person.
NOTE
The proper operation of the MCS requires the good cleaning of the steam
wand and its nozzle after each use. Depending on the use of the MCS it is
also advisable to disassemble the steam nozzle at least twice a day and wash
it properly before reinstalling it.
To obtain quality frothed milk it is advisable to pour a quantity of milk in the
jug sufficient to cover the end of the steam wand and place it inclined against
the wall of the jug to facilitate the formation of a vortex during the heating
process.
