Preparing hot water

Always make sure that the

and

lights are on steady.

Turn the milk frother towards the out-
side of the machine (Fig. 6).

Position a container underneath the
milk frother (Fig. 6).

Turn the steam knob half a turn anti-
clockwise until it stops (Fig. 8): hot
water will come out of the milk frother
and start to fill the container under-
neath.

To stop the flow of hot water, turn the
steam knob all the way clockwise (Fig.
8) and return the milk frother to the
original position towards the centre of
the machine. (It is recommended to
deliver hot water for no more than 2
minutes).

Frothing milk

Fill a container with around 100 grams
of milk for each cappuccino being pre-
pared. When choosing the size of the
container, remember that the volume
will increase by 2 or 3 times.

It is recommended to use partially
skimmed milk at fridge temperature.

Move the milk frother towards the
outside (Fig. 6).

Prepare the espresso coffee as
described in the corresponding sec-
tions, using sufficiently large cups.

Then press the steam button

(Fig. 22).
The

light starts flashing to indicate

that the machine is heating up (the

and

lights remain off to indicate

that it is not possible to make coffee).
When the

light remains on steady

and stops flashing, the temperature of
the machine has reached the ideal
value for making the steam.

Immediately after, within a maximum
of two minutes (otherwise the machine
automatically returns to the coffee
function), dip the milk frother into the

container of milk (Fig. 23), and turn the
steam knob half a turn anticlockwise
until it stops (Fig. 8).

Be careful, to avoid being scalded.

Attention! Risk of impurities from
dried on milk residues in the milk
frother. Take care not to immerse the
milk frother in the milk far enough to
cover the air intake opening at the top
of the milk frother. Otherwise milk can
be sucked into the nozzle and cause
impurities in the milk frother.
The steam released will make the milk
froth and increase in volume. To make
creamier foam, dip the milk frother
into the milk and rotate the container
with slow movements from the bottom
to the top (you are recommended to
limit steam delivery to no more than
two minutes at a time).

Once having reached the desired tem-
perature, stop the steam by turning the
steam knob clockwise until it stops
(Fig. 8) and then press the

steam

button (Fig. 22) to deactivate the
steam function.

Pour the frothed milk into the cups
containing the espresso coffee pre-
pared previously. The cappuccino is
now ready (add sugar to taste and if
desired, sprinkle the foam with a little
cocoa powder).

Note 1:

immediately after having pre-

pared the cappuccino, once having
pressed the steam button

(Fig. 22)

to deactivate the function, the
machine is too hot to make coffee (the

and

lights flash to indicate

that the temperature is not suitable);
simply wait around 10 minutes for the
machine to cool down a little.

Hint:

To cool it down more quickly,

after having deactivated the steam
function, open the steam knob and
release some water from the milk
frother into a container, until the

and
