If the machine will not be used for a long period of time, it is recommended to
.. clean the brew group
(see instructions in chapter 7.2). Afterwards, please do not clamp the portafilter back into
the group.
.. empty the boiler
. Switch the machine off (power switch in position
“0”) and open the hot water dispenser.
Due to
the boiler pressure, the boiler water is now discharged by the hot water dispenser. Close the hot water handle again
after emptying the boiler. To restart the machine, see chapter “First use”.
How to froth milk like a “barista”
x
If possible, use cold and fresh milk with a fat content of approx. 1.5 % or 3 %. Even homogenized milk is
suitable - if you prefer.
x
Use a frothing container (made of metal) with a minimum volume of 0.5 litres. The size of the container should
not be too wide. A narrow and high container is perfect.
x
Open the steam valve for approx. 5 seconds to release the condensation water and to create dry steam.
x
Fill
1/3
of the frothing container with milk and place it under the steam nozzle. The nozzle should be immersed
in the middle of the frothing container, just below the surface.
x
Slowly open the steam. Steam pervades the milk.
x
Keep the frothing container still.
x
After a few seconds you will notice a light suction in the milk jug. Proper frothing begins. Move the milk jug
downwards while the milk level increases. The steam nozzle must be kept under the surface of the frothed milk.
x
Attention: When the desired amount of milk froth is reached, immerse the entire steam nozzle in the frothing
container for a short time and close the steam handle.
Milk proteins “froth” with a tem
perature up to 77°C.
Once this temperature is exceeded, the milk does not froth any further.
x
Advice: When milk frothing is finished, just shake the frothing container a little bit in order to make the milk
bubbles ascend to the surface and to get a compact milk froth.
x
After frothing the milk, release the steam into the drip tray to avoid blockage of the steam nozzle.
