After each of these three resets, the machine will go to standby-ready mode.
Making milk froth
Always use milk coming directly from the fridge for the best foam quality.
1 Fill a milk jug with about a quarter of milk (100 ml) for cappuccino and to about a third (150 ml)
of milk for latte macchiato (Fig. 27).
2 Make sure that the end of the steam wand is 3 cm below the milk surface and that the milk jug is
tilted (Fig. 28).
3 Turn the hot water/steam knob to the steam icon (Fig. 29).
-
Steam will begin to flow out of the steam wand.
For an optimal frothing result, do not shake the milk jug and do not hold the milk jug upright
(Fig. 30).
4 When the milk foam in the milk jug has reached the required volume and temperature, turn the
hot water/steam knob to the off position to stop frothing milk (Fig. 10).
The steam wand becomes very hot during working. Allow it to cool down before touching it.
Clean the steam wand each time you use it with a damp cloth, for hygiene reasons and to avoid
the build-up of milk residues.
Making hot water
1 Place a cup under the steam wand.
2 Rotate the knob to the hot water position to turn on hot water. At this time, the steam/hot
water light is on.
3 To stop the hot water flow, rotate the steam/hot water knob to the off position.
The steam wand becomes very hot during working. Allow it to cool down before touching it.
