washed in hot water, if it is still hot. The recipient must be able to fit under the cappuccino accessory
nozzle. It is recommended that you use semi-skimmed milk into order to obtain a foam that is both
dense and firm. Full fat milk gives a creamier foam.
2. Follow the directives in stages 1 and 2 from the section "Making espresso coffee".
3. As soon as the first drops of coffee start to come through the filter holder, start foaming the milk.
Immerse the steam nozzle in the recipient with the milk, up to half of its length.
4. a) Turn the steam button (e2) anticlockwise to release the steam (figure 19).
b) Tip the recipient to one side slightly so that you can see the position of the nozzle while the milk is
foaming.
Always make sure that there is a space between the end of the nozzle and the bottom of the
recipient, to let the steam out.
After a few seconds, the milk begins to foam up. As it is doing so, lower the recipient slowly so that
the end of the nozzle is always just underneath the surface of the foam.
Remark: do not boil the milk (if large bubbles begin to appear at the surface of the milk, the milk is
starting to boil).
c) Once the foam is ready to serve, keep the end
of the nozzle in the foam in order to prevent
splashing and turn the steam button clockwise
to stop the steam.
d) To make the foam a little firmer, leave it to set
for one minute.
- Do not forget to put the end of the nozzle back in
place and to screw it back firmly (figure 21).
Foaming without making an espresso coffee (Steamplug)
1. Fill the recipient with cold water.
2. Prepare the recipient with the milk to foam or
heat.
3. Place the glass jug with its lid under the filter
holder (figure 16). Ensure that the side button
(e2) is in the espresso coffee position. Turn the
selector switch (S) to the left, to the "ON"
position on the espresso side. The left-hand blue
light comes on (figure 17).
4. Open the steam button immediately after having
turned the machine on. Stay close to the
machine and get ready to foam the milk.
It takes around 30 to 60 seconds for the steam to
start coming out of the nozzle. Follow the stages 4.a)
and 4.b) from the section "Making cappuccino".
5. Once all the steam has escaped, close the button
and turn the machine off.
Attention:
If the water is not completely used:
a) turn the machine off.
b) allow the rest of the steam to escape into another
recipient.
Do not close the steam button before all of the
steam has escaped or until the machine has been
turned off. (See the section "ATTENTION -
PRESSURE")
ATTENTION:
Steam nozzle blocked
Milk residue may accumulate in the end of the
steam nozzle. To prevent the nozzle from getting
blocked, remove the cappuccino accessory's
plastic base (figure 20) when the machine is cold,
in order to make it easier to clean. Follow the
steps for cleaning the steam nozzle described in
the section "Cleaning the cappuccino accessory".
ATTENTION:
Ensure that the machine is cold and no longer
under pressure (see the section "ATTENTION -
PRESSURE").
ATTENTION:
To obtain steam only, do not fill the glass jug
any higher than the 2-cup level. This quantity is
enough to make the milk foam.
ATTENTION:
Do not leave the appliance unsupervised at this
time.
ATTENTION!
The plastic part of the cappuccino nozzle (e4) has
two little holes on the sides, which enable air to
be injected into the milk.
If these holes are blocked, the milk will not foam
up properly. Do not immerse the nozzle in the
milk up to these holes, because it is likely that
the milk will block them.
