5. When the milk has doubled in volume, or if you are
using a beverage thermometer, when the milk has
reached 38°C (100°F), insert the frothing tube deeper
into the milk so that the top of the frothing tube cap
is just under the surface of the milk. This will draw
the froth back through the frothing tube cap creating
a finer textured froth. Do not heat milk above 65°C
(150°F). To avoid splattering of hot milk, do not let the
tip of the frothing tube go above the surface of the
milk. After frothing is completed, turn the control knob
back to the OFF position.
NOTE: If you choose to run an espresso brew cycle
immediately after steaming milk, it is normal for the
unit to run briefly and a small amount of steam to
appear from the drip tray.
6. You are now ready to make cappuccino. REMEMBER: It
is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 frothed milk.
Pour the espresso into a cup, which has the capacity of
at least 150 ml (5 ounces). Then add the steamed milk
to the espresso and spoon on the frothed milk.
7.
IMPORTANT CLEANING TIP:
When you are finished
steaming milk, follow step 5 on Page E8 under section
marked “CAUTION” to flush out any residual milk from
the frothing tube. It is important to properly clean your
frothing tube and wash its cap after each use to ensure
it continues to work properly. (See Step 2 below)
8. Unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool.
CLEANING YOUR ESPRESSO/
CAPPUCCINO MAKER
1. Turn the control knob to the OFF position and the ON/
OFF Switch to the OFF position and unplug the power
cord from the electrical outlet.
2. The frothing tube may still be hot. Do not touch it with
your hands until it has cooled. Remove and wash the
frothing tube cap and wipe frothing tube with a damp
cloth. Clean the frothing tube with a needle or toothpick.
3. The water reservoir, filters, drip tray and drip grid can be
washed with soapy water or placed in the top rack of
your dishwasher (avoid washing the filter holder in your
dishwasher). CAUTION: Do not immerse appliance in water.
4. Discard the remaining water by removing the reservoir
and turning it upside down over the sink. It is
recommended to empty the water reservoir between
uses and use fresh water for each brew. Do not
immerse appliance in water.
5. Wipe housing with a soft wet cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or scouring pads, as they will scratch the finish.
6. Do not store the filter holder in the brew head. This
can adversely affect the seal between the brew head
and the filter holder while brewing espresso.
IMPORTANT:
The Filter Holder is NOT Dishwasher safe.
DESCALING
Mineral deposits built-up in the Espresso Maker will affect
the operation of the appliance. Your Espresso Maker must
be descaled when you begin to notice an increase in the
time required to brew espresso, or when there is excessive
steaming. Also, you may notice a build-up of white deposits
on the surface of the brew head.
The frequency of cleaning depends upon the hardness of
the water used. The following table gives the suggested
cleaning intervals.
