note:
When the espresso machine creates
steam, a pumping noise can be heard. This
is the normal operation of the 15 Bar pump.
note:
After 5 minutes of continuous stea-
ming, the machine will automatically disa-
ble the steam function. The steam light will
flash. When this occurs return the steam dial
to the STAND BY-position.
WArning:
Ensure the steam selector
dia is in the STAND BY-position before re-
moving the frothing jug.
There are two phases to texture milk: Stret
-
ching the milk to aerate it and swirling the
milk to make it silky smooth and the right
temperature. In practice these two opera-
tions should blend into one.
step 1 - stretching the MilK
Hold the jug so the tip of the steam wand is
just below the surface of the milk and with
your free hand engage the steam. Every so
often lower the jug so the steam wand just
breaks the surface of the milk and makes a
hissing sound. Stretching the milk will incre-
ase the volume, so lower the jug as the milk
rises to ensure the tip remains just above the
surface of the milk.
step 2 – sWirling the MilK
After a short while you will have aerated
sufficiently. At this point, adjust the jug so
the steam wand is off-center and create a
spinning motion in the milk. Compensate
for the angle of the steam wand by slight-
ly tilting the jug away from you, or to one
side and at the same time lower the nozzle
further into the body of the milk. Continue
swirling until milk is at desired temperature.
Without a thermometer you’ll know the milk
is ready when the jug base is ›just too hot‹
to touch. When you get the balance right
the milk should end up forming a ›meringue-
like‹ consistency that has a glassy sheen to
it. Remove any excess air bubbles by gently
knocking the jug against a hard flat surface
and pour the milk down the inside of your
chosen cup or glass to make your desired
espresso variation. Lastly, run the steam
function briefly to remove any residual milk
in the steam wand tip. Then give the steam
wand a good wipe with a damp cloth.
note:
If stretching makes a loud screeching
sound, this may inidicate that you have lo-
wered the wand into the milk too early.
note:
For best results use cold fresh milk.
Always clean the steam wand after every
use. Refer to ›Care and Cleaning‹.
note:
For extracting more espresso immedi
-
ately after using the steam function, this ma-
chine features an auto-purge function. This
ensures the ground espresso coffee will not
be burnt by the initial water flow from the
thermocoil being too hot. Instead this water
is automatically released internally into the
drip tray ensuring that the internal thermo-
stat is at optimal temperature for extracting
espresso. Your espresso will always be ex
-
tracted at this optimal temperature ensuring
only the best flavored espresso is achieved.
