As the thumping sound begins a few drops
of water will come out of the steam nozzle
before entirely changing over to steam.
Step 3
l
When the yellow thermostat light goes
out, insert the steam nozzle half way
i
to
the milk and turn the control dial to
I
G
‘1
(see
figure 17).
l
Leave the steam nozzle in the milk for
approximately 45-60 seconds, depending
on how much froth you want and the
type of milk you are using.
NOTE:
l
Do not bring milk to a boil (this will
happen if large bubbles start forming at
the surface of the milk).
l
Do not let the “Perfect Froth” attachment
touch the bottom of the pitcher. This will
prevent you from frothing the milk.
Step 4
l
After the milk is frothed, keep the
“Perfect Froth” in the milk until the
control dial has been turned to the “0”
position. This will prevent any splattering
from
occuring.
l
After milk is frothed, set aside. If you like
very stiff froth, let the pitcher set for a
few seconds.
l
Now you are ready to add the frothed
milk to the already prepared espresso.
Pour the milk into the cup by holding back
the froth with your spoon. Fill the
remainder of the cup with the hot milk
and then spoon on the froth. In Italy
cappuccino is normally one part espresso
to two parts milk plus froth.
If you are making more than one or two cups
of cappuccino, it is recommended that you
place the finished espresso on top of the
12
warming plate with a cloth or saucer
covering the cups. This will help to keep the
espresso hot.
Attention:
The top closure of the “Perfect Froth”
attachment (see figure 24, part
A)
has a very
fine hole which draws air into the milk. If
this tiny hole gets clogged, “Perfect Froth”
will not work properly. Therefore, never
immerse the top closure in milk or froth.
If you wish to prepare espresso immediately
after using the steam nozzle, the machine
must be cooled down to the proper brewing
temperature. (When frothing milk, the
temperature of the water is much hotter than
when you are brewing espresso.)
In order that you do not burn your next
batch of espresso, insert the clean filter
holder into the machine and turn the control
dial to
”
p
“.
Allow
l/2
cup of water to run
through the machine.
This process cools the machine sufficiently
to prepare additional cups of espresso.
It is strongly advised that you wipe off the
milk residue which may have collected on
the “Perfect Froth” and steaming nozzle after
the frothing process is completed.
For a thorough cleaning of the “Perfect
Froth” attachment, remove the separate
parts A, B,
&
C (see figure 24).
All parts should be rinsed in warm, soapy
water. If the small section of part A is
clogged, it can be opened using a fine
sewing needle.
