Tip:
Perfectly brewed coffee is dark, caramel
with reddish highlights. It largely depends on
the quality of coffee used. Always serve freshly
brewed, hot coffee.
After brewing
●
Turn the filter holder to the left and remove it
from the brew head
(23)
.
●
Empty the used coffee from the filter
(24)
.
Tip
: After each use of the espresso machine,
we recommend that the brew head is rinsed
with a little water. This will wash off the used
coffee which has stuck to the bottom part of
the brew head. To do this, simply turn the knob
to the espresso
position and allow a free
flow of water.
Energy-saving mode
The coffee maker will shut off 30 minutes after
last coffee preparation.

DESCRIPTION
The steam function is used for frothing milk.
Steam performs two functions. Firstly, it heats
milk. Secondly, it mixes milk with air which gives it
a delicate, smooth appearance.
As is the case with brewing coffee, the best results
with frothing milk are achieved with time as the
user gains experience.
Tip
: Remember that coffee is the basis of all
coffee beverages, and milk is only an addition.
Notice
: It is recommended that espresso is
prepared first, and milk is frothed afterwards.
Before starting the milk frothing process, check
that the espresso machine is in the
steam
mode,
i.e. that the red light of button and the orange
light of the steam button are illuminated.
Warning
: If the espresso machine is not in the
steam
mode (the red light of the button is not
illuminated), it is necessary to press button
to
activate this operating mode.
●
Check if there is cold water in the tank. If there
is no or little water, fill up the tank
(1)

with cold water.
●
Determine the amount of milk needed based
on the number of cups of coffee brewed or on
the size of the milk jug.
Tip
: Remember that the volume of milk
increases during frothing.
●
Pour cold, cooled down milk into a stainless
steel jug filling it up to 1/2 or 2/3 of its capacity.
Tip
: Store a stainless steel jug with milk in
a fridge so that the milk is well cooled down.
Remember not to rinse the jug with warm
water before you use it.
●
Rinse the steam wand by placing a dish
under it and by turning the regulator knob to
the steam position . Turn off the steam by
turning the knob to position
0
(26)
.
●
Move the steam wand to the side of the
appliance and attach the milk frothing
attachment
(27)
.
●
Immerse the steam wand in milk so that the
wand is about one centimeter below the
surface and activate steam dosing by turning
the regulator knob into position
(28)
.
●
Hold the frothing jug at an angle so that the
steam wand sits in the spout of the jug and
lower the jug until the end of the steam wand
is immersed just below the surface of milk.
This will start the production of frothed milk.
Warning
: Do not allow an uneven outflow of
steam, or the froth will not be properly aired.
To avoid it, lift the jug so that the steam wand
is deeper immersed in milk. Remember that
the ideal texture is soft, smooth froth.
●
The moment the milk has warmed up and
frothed, the level of milk in the jug will start
rising. If this happens, start lowering the jug,
but always keep the end of the steam wand
immersed just under the milk surface
(29)
.
●
The moment froth has been obtained, lift the
jug so that the steam wand is in the middle of
milk
(30)
.
Tip
: The amount of froth required will change
depending on the type of beverage prepared.
E.g. a cappuccino requires more froth than
