Frothing Milk
1. When frothing milk, the volume of the milk will generally double.
Therefore, fill a frothing pitcher only halfway with milk to leave room
for expansion.
NOTE:
For best frothing results, use fresh, cold skim milk.
2. Make sure the Froth Booster Tip is properly attached to the Frother
before beginning to froth milk.
3. Holding the frothing pitcher by the handle, raise it up to the Froth
Booster Tip. Insert the Froth Booster Tip into the milk so that the
head is just under the surface (see FIGURE 5).
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the end of the Froth
Booster Tip is just under the surface of the milk.
Otherwise, splattering may occur.
4. Slide the Function Control to the “
” (STEAM)
position and gradually turn the Steam Control Knob
counterclockwise to the desired steam strength to
begin frothing.
CAUTION: Take extra care as steam is very hot
and will also cause the milk to become very
hot.
4. When the milk reaches the desired froth consistency, tighten the
Steam Control knob by turning it all the way clockwise until no steam
escapes the Frother.
NOTE:
Allow the freshly frothed milk to stand a moment so that the
foam completely separates from the steamed milk. The milk froth will
fill the top half of the pitcher, and the bottom half will consist of
steamed milk.

Preparing Cappuccino:
A traditional 6 ounce cappuccino is
generally defined as 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 frothed
milk...
Pour the steamed milk into the bottom 1/3 of each cup -- a spoon
may be used to hold back the foam while pouring. Then slowly pour
equal parts espresso into the steamed milk (see “Brewing Espresso”
for instructions). For the remaining 1/3, spoon frothed milk on top to
fill each cup. Done in this order, the espresso should settle between
the milk and the foam. Powdered cocoa or cinnamon may be sprin-
kled on top as a garnish.
13. When finished using the Espresso Maker, flip the Power Switch to
the “O” (OFF) position – the power light will turn off.
NOTE:
Unplug the Espresso Maker after each use.
14. Remove the Carafe from the Drip Tray and serve.
15.
FOR SAFETY REASONS, BEFORE REMOVING THE BOILER
CAP OR THE FILTER HOLDER, ALL STEAM WHICH MAY BE
PRESENT IN THE WATER TANK MUST BE RELEASED. To
release steam pressure from the water tank, be sure the
Function Control is in the “ ” (STEAM) position and gradually
turn the steam control Knob counterclockwise until steam
starts flowing out of the Frother. Wait until steam is no longer
emerging from the Frother, then tighten the Steam Control
Knob by turning all the way clockwise.
Do not remove the Filter Holder until all steam has been
released, and all parts are cool enough to touch.
CAUTION: Avoid contact with escaping steam.
16. After all the steam is safely released and all parts have cooled com-
pletely, remove the Filter Holder by sliding the Filter Holder handle to
the left until it is positioned beneath the “
” (UNLOCK) symbol then
pull down.
17. Flip the Filter Basket Clip forward so that the
Filter Basket remains inside the Filter Holder.
While continuing to press against the Filter
Basket Clip with your thumb, turn the Filter
Holder upside-down and tap out the grounds
(see FIGURE 4). Open the Filter Basket Clip
before the next use.
18. Unplug the Espresso Maker after each use.
