Steam Function - Krups XP52 Serie Manuel D'utilisation

WITH AN "E.S.E." ESPRESSO POD
"ESE" for "Easy Serving Espresso" is a packaged pod (44 mm diameter) of 7g of selected
coffee, ground and compacted between two paper filters, specially designed to make Italian
style ristretto (tight) espressos.
This system allows immediate, simple, clean and comfortable use of your machine.
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). During the pre-heating phase, the
indicator lamp will flash.
n Tear the excess paper off the pod, put the E.S.E. pod in the filter holder, with the red writing facing
down (fig.6).
Be sure to place all the paper inside the filter holder, otherwise there might be leaks.
n If the pod is not positioned correctly, the result in the cup will not be satisfactory.
n Never use two pods together.
n Then, follow steps of pictures 7 to 11.
WITH A SOFT POD
Your machine is also compatible with soft pods (usually 60 mm in diameter). Given that this
kind of pod is not specifically designed for espresso machines, you will get a less full-bodied
espresso than with an E.S.E. pod.
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). During the pre-heating phase, the
indicator lamp will flash.
n Place a soft pod in the filter holder. Never use two pods together. If the pod is not positioned correctly,
the result in the cup will not be satisfactory.
n Then, follow steps of pictures 7 to 11.

7. STEAM FUNCTION

Steam is used to foam up milk (for example to make a cappuccino or a cafe latte) thanks to the
cappuccino accessory.
To produce steam, the pump works by emitting an intermittent noise.
After using the steam function, the appliance cools automatically by pumping cold water through
the heating system. During the pumping cycles, the excess steam in the heating system is released with
the hot water into the drip tray. The steam and noise that accompany this phase are important for
cooling the appliance.
Warning: during and after using the appliance, the metal parts of the steam nozzle can become very hot.
USING THE STEAM NOZZLE TO FROTH MILK
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4).
n Turn the switch to the "steam preheating" position. The indicator lamp flashes (fig.12).
n Move the steam nozzle towards the outside of the appliance.
n Pour 60 to 100ml of fresh skimmed, semi skimmed or whole milk in a small container of about 1/2 litre
and which can pass under the steam nozzle. The milk and its container should be quite cold.
n We recommend that you use pasteurised or UHT milk and that you avoid using unpasteurised milk.
n As soon as the indicator lamp stops blinking, plunge the steam nozzle into the milk.
n Turn the switch to the "steam" position (fig. 13).
n For a good result, hold the nozzle towards the bottom of the container for about 25 seconds while the
milk heats (without however touching the bottom of the container). Then, bring the container down
gradually so that the nozzle moves up towards the surface (without ever coming out of the milk)
(fig.14).
