Your machine is also compatible with soft pods, which are usually
smaller in diameter than E.S.E. pods. However since soft pods are
not specifically designed for use with espresso machines, you will
get a less flavorful espresso than with an E.S.E. pod.
n Fill the water tank with fresh cold water to the maximum line and turn
on the machine (fig.1, 2, 3 and 4). The light will flash while the
machine preheats.
n Place the soft pod in the filter holder.
n Take care to make sure that the pod is centered in the filter holder
with no paper hanging out, as this may cause leaks and/or
unsatisfactory results.

6. MILK FROTHING FUNCTION

n Steam can be used to froth milk by using the steam wand with frothing
nozzle (for example to make a cappuccino or latte).
n As the machine produces steam, the pump will make a thumping sounds.
This sound is normal and is an indication that the machine is operating
properly.
n After using the steam function, the machine purges automatically
to cool down by pumping cold water through the heating system.
During the purging cycles of cold water, the excess steam in the
heating system is released with hot water into the drip tray.
n The steam and noise that accompany this phase are important
for cooling the machine.
Caution: During and after using the steam wand, the metal
parts of the steam wand can become very hot. Take care
when handling the steam wand to avoid injury.
