TEAM FUNCTION
The tapping noise which occurs while steam is
being produced comes from the intermittent
regulation of the pump and has no effect on
the proper working of the appliance.
If you wish to make an espresso immediately
after steam, the appliance must first be
allowed to cool down in order to achieve the
correct temperature for preparing an espresso.
To do this, place a container below the filter
•
holder without coffee and position correctly,

Allow the water to flow through until the
•
orange indicator light comes on. Then turn
the selector to the O setting.
After this, you can make another espresso.
Beware: during and after use of the machine,
the metallic parts of the steam nozzle can
become burning hot.
. The steam function together with the
Krups Autocappuccino accessory makes it
easy to obtain:
. milk with varying amounts of froth for
making a cappuccino, a café crème or hot
chocolate.
. Hot water, for tea, for example.
These liquids are drawn in through the
flexible tube and heated with the aid of
steam before coming out via the outlet
nozzle of the autocappuccino accessory. If
the flexible tube is immersed directly in a
carton of milk, a single cup is enough to
prepare a cappuccino or a café crème. You
can adjust the fineness of the milk froth using
the tap of this accessory.
It is best to use fresh semi-skimmed milk, not
boiled and well chilled (kept in the
refrigerator). The container must also be cold
(do not run it under hot water before frothing
the milk).
For heating thick liquids, please refer to the
