2. Press steam button (11). Espresso buttons
light stay on, the machine is pre-heating.
3. Fill a container with approximately 60 to 100 ml of cold milk.
Note :
• For the best results, use a narrow and relatively small container that can be slipped
under the steam nozzle.
• When choosing the size of the milk container, keep in mind that the milk volume will
increase by two to three times.
• In order to obtain good quality milk froth, we recommend that you use fresh, cold milk.
Pasteurised or UHT milk usually gives the best results.
Note : For a better result, turn on the steam nozzle a few seconds in a container before
using it in the milk. It will remove the water it may contain.

Note : For best results, foam the milk near the bottom of the container for approximately
10 seconds, taking care not to touch the bottom. Then slowly tilt the container and move
the nozzle upwards until it is almost at the surface of the milk. Make sure that the nozzle
does not leave the milk. To get a great foam, move the container in circular motions (26).
