This appliance has a Rapid Steam
®
feature which
eliminates waiting time between frothing and
brewing.
Making cappuccinos and lattes has never been
this easy!
• Before dispensing steam, make sure the hot
water button (25) is OFF.
• Direct the steam nozzle (14) towards the drip
tray and turn the steam/ hot water knob (16).
• Purge any residual water in the system and
close the steam knob as soon as you get a
good jet of steam through the nozzle.
• Fill a pitcher or a cup 1/3 full with cold milk.
For best results when making
cappuccinos, the milk and the used
cup should be cold.
• Immerse the steam nozzle 1/4" into the milk
to be frothed and turn the steam knob (16)
counterclockwise.
• Turn the container slowly with up and down
movements to make a uniform froth (Fig.16).
• Continue steaming until you have the desired
amount of froth and the milk is approx.165°F
hot, then close the steam knob (16).
• The same system can be used to heat other
beverages. Clean the steam nozzle with a
damp cloth (Fig.17)
9.1 Making coffee after using the
steam function
• If you want to make more coffee immediately
after steaming milk, you can go straight into
brewing a cup of coffee. Just press the desired
coffee button!
