Steam Function; Cleaning And Servicing - Krups CALVI XP344 Mode D'emploi

Steam is used to foam milk (to prepare cappuccinos, for example).
„ „
To produce steam, turn the selection button to the Preheat position (D1-3). (10).
„ „
The on/off light will flash again and then remain on. The appliance is now ready to use
(7).
„ „
Add 2 to 3 oz milk to a container. For best results, we recommend that you use a
narrow, fairly short container to fit under the steam wand. The milk and its container
must be very cold for optimal results.
„ „
As soon as the light stays on, plunge the steam wand into the milk without touching
the bottom of the container (23).
„ „
Turn the selection button to the steam position (D1-4) (24).
„ „
For best results, foam the milk from the bottom of the container but without touching
the bottom, for about 10 seconds. Next, tilt and move the container up progressively
so that the wand comes to the surface of the milk. Ensure that the wand does not
come out of the milk. For best foaming results, make circular movements (25).
„ „
In order to obtain good quality milk froth, we recommend that you use pasteurized or
UHT milk and avoid using unpasteurized or skimmed milk.
„ „
Once you have foamed the milk, turn the selection button to the O position (12). At
this time the appliance will cool automatically, starting two to three pump cycles
intermittently. Once this automatic operation has finished, you can prepare an espresso.
„ „
After turning off the steam, quickly and carefully clean the steam wand using a damp
sponge (to ensure that residues do not remain stuck).
„ „
Place a container containing water under the steam wand and repeat the milk foaming
procedure exactly, in order to clean the wand.
„ „
To avoid overheating the milk, do not foam for longer than 60 seconds.
„ „
The steam wand is limited to 75 second of use in order to avoid overheating.
IMPORTANT!
Warning! To avoid splashing milk, do not let the wand move above the surface
of the milk when using the steam function.
IMPORTANT!
Warning! The steam wand is still hot! Take care not to burn yourself!
IMPORTANT! After switching off the steam, immediately and carefully clean
the steam wand as described in the paragraph on: CLEANING AND
SERVICING.
