1. Swivel the steam jet nozzle to the right of the espresso machine by handling the steam jet
rubber sleeve (8), as shown in Fig. 3. This way the nozzle can be easily put in the container
with milk.
2. Turn on the steaming switch (6) and wait until its LED is
steadily on. Now, hot steam is ready.
CAUTION! The water heater is automatically turned off when the steam
heater is running. This is to provide more heat for the steam.
3. Place an empty container under the nozzle (7) and gen-
tly turn the steam level knob (3) to the left to vent residu-
al water from the nozzle. The nozzle will blow steam with
water droplets, followed by steam only. Turn the steam level
knob (3) off, to the uppermost position (closed).
CAUTION! The steam jet nozzle (7) has a guard (9). The guard (9) must be
installed on the nozzle when in use. Risk of burns!
4. Put the container with milk under the nozzle (7) and im-
merse the nozzle tip in the milk. Now, gradually increase the steam level with the knob (3)
while gently swirling the milk in the container. Gradually immerse the nozzle deeper in the
milk.
5. If the (6) LED starts flashing during frothing, stop the steam and wait until the LED goes stead-
ily on again. In the meantime, the espresso maker reheats the steam to temperature. Finish
frothing the milk before the third steam reheat cycle begins. Do not froth milk longer
than one minute at a time.
6. When finished frothing, turn off the steaming switch (6) and unplug the espresso machine
from the mains.
CAUTION! Before unplugging from the mains, place a container with water under the steam jet nozzle, immerse
it in the water, and flush the nozzle and its guard clean. This will prevent persistent milk stains.
ESPRESSO MAKING TIPS
1. Use warm cups to make espresso. Heat them up with the cup heater (2). You can also quickly
heat up a cup by pouring hot water out of the espresso machine (with the filter holder and
a filter secured in the receptacle without any coffee). Classic espresso should be made of a
blend of various types of coffee and poured into a 70 ml cup, but only up to a half of it.
2. When frothing milk for your cappuccino, use 100 ml of milk at a time. Pour the frothed milk
into the brewed coffee. Sprinkle with a bit of cocoa powder on top. A classic cappuccino
recipe requires 25 ml of espresso.
3. For a better visual effect, make cappuccino in a transparent cup.
4. Always thoroughly remove coffee grain residues from the filters. Even trace amounts of old
coffee disrupt the taste of a fresh brew.
5. Froth semi-skimmed or fat milk, pre-cooled in a refrigerator. Froth milk in a small diameter
vessel so that the froth does not spray around. Milk can significantly increase its volume by
frothing.
6. Do not brew coffee after frothing your milk; the espresso maker will output water too hot to
enjoy a good taste and aroma. Wait at least 5 minutes before brewing.
