5. Dispensing Steam and Hot Water
1) Steaming milk or other liquids
In order to allow for any condensed water
in the wand to be released ALWAYS allow
some steam to be discharged by turning on
the valve before inserting the steam wand
into the pitcher of liquid to be heated.
Dip one of the 2 steam wands (part 8,
ig. 1) which are connected to the steam
valve, into the liquid to be heated, turn the
steam knob (part 9, ig. 1) gradually until
steam comes out at the end of the wand.
The steam will transfer heat to the liquid
raising its temperature up to boiling point.
Be careful not to allow liquid to overlow in
order to avoid severe burns.
In order to prepare milk for making
cappuccino with the right amount of foam,
go through the following steps:
• Place the container half-full of milk under
the steam wand, open the steam valve and
heat the milk to desired temperature.
• Lower the container so as to bring
the wand end to a point just below the
surface of the milk; at this point, move the
container up and down just enough to dip
the nozzle end in and out of the milk until
you get the right amount of foam. You can
then pour this milk into a cup containing
warm espresso and you will end up with a
fresh cup of cappuccino.
In order to prevent the heated liquid from
being sucked back into the steam boiler
it is recommended that you purge the
steam valve and steam wand by opening
the valve for a few seconds to allow steam
to escape to the atmosphere from the end
of the steam wand. Failure to do so can
cause the heated liquid to transfer from
the heated liquid container to the steam
boiler (via vacuum created from cooling
parts). This condition is undesireable and
can cause contamination in the steam
boiler.
2) Preparing tea and other hot drinks
You may dispense hot water by using the
ixed nozzle (item 10 ig 1). To dispense
hot water, press the tea water button on
the right most group.
This button commands the hot water
delivery.
The volume of water delivered may
be adjusted via the display (see the
Software Programming Manual for further
instructions). The temperature of the
water dispensed may be adjusted by
adjusting the mixing valve under the right
side cover of the espresso machine.
