FROTHING MILK
PREPARING STEAM
Steam froths up the milk to make a cappuccino or a caffe latte, for example, and also heats up
liquids. As you need a higher temperature to produce steam than to make an espresso, the
appliance runs an additional pre-heating phase for steam.
While the screen displays the drink selection menu, press the “steam” key
. A screen will inform you that the appliance is being pre-heated. Once
the pre-heating phase has been completed, a message will ask you to place
a container under the steam nozzle. Press the “steam” key
again to start
generating steam. A little water will be produced first and then steam will
start. Use the same key to stop steam generation.
Check that the steam
nozzle is correctly
fitted.
Pour the milk into
your milk jug. Only
half fill it.
Immerse the nozzle
in the milk.
Press the “steam”
key and
follow
the instructions on
the screen.
Once your milk is
frothy enough…,
Again press the
“steam” key
to
stop the cycle. Be
careful, because
the cycle does not
stop immediately.
You can remove the steam nozzle for thorough cleaning. Wash it
using a brush with water and a little non-abrasive washing up
liquid. Rinse and dry it. Before re-fitting, make certain that the air
inlet holes are not clogged by milk residues. Clean out the holes
with a needle if necessary.
BE CAREFUL, BECAUSE THE CYCLE DOES NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY.
We recommend that you use very cold, fresh pasteurised or UHT milk that has been recently
opened. Do not use untreated milk. After the steam function has been used, the nozzle will be hot,
and we recommend that you wait for a few moments before handling it.
To interrupt the steam function, just press any key.
If the nozzle is blocked, clean it out with a fine needle.
The maximum duration for production of steam per cycle is limited to 2 minutes.
To remove any
remaining milk from
the steam nozzle,
place a container
under the nozzle and
press the “hot water”
key .
Let the steam
escape for
at least
10 seconds
and then
again press the “hot
water” key
to
stop the process.
