Push button (10) is in OFF position. Making Cappuccino Generally cappuccino consists of one-third coffee, one-third hot milk and one-third frothed milk. The milk froth should not be rm enough to be shaped with a spoon. It should be creamy, such as not completely whipped cream, of a viscous texture. For the preparation you need in addition

• a larger, bellied cup (approx. 180 ml), in which you make the espresso;

• a small frothing jug with spout (e.g. 0.3 l);

• a small, heat-resistant container;

• cold milk with at least 3.5% fat content. To make cappuccino you rst have to make the espresso. Follow the instructions under “Making Espresso” points 1 through 16. Froth the milk as follows:61

WARNING: Danger of scalding!

Escaping steam can cause injuries. During the heating process hot steam/water can escape from group head and/or steam nozzle!

• Ensure that the steam control knob (4) is set to “ ” position before activating the steam function.

• Do not direct the steam nozzle towards persons.

• Always place a container under the steam nozzle (6).

1. Ensure that push button (11) is in STANDBY

2. Swivel out the steam nozzle (6). Ensure that

the steam pipe is properly attached. Attach the steam nozzle cover all the way on the steam nozzle.

3. Place a heat-resistant container under the

4. Fill the jug half with cold milk.

5. Press push button (12) to STEAM Position.

Wait until the indicator lamp lights up.

6. Briey open the steam control knob (4) to-

wards “ ” every time before using the frothing function to drain collected condensate. The ap- pliance is ready to use if only steam escapes.

7. Place your milk jug with the milk under the

8. Lift the jug so that the steam nozzle sits just

under the milk surface. NOTE: Do not place the steam nozzle in the centre of the jug but close to the inner wall. This position is important for the milk to get into whirling motion. We recommend using the spout as guide for the steam nozzle.

9. Slowly open the steam control knob (4) to-

wards “ ” until the desired amount of steam is set. Slightly move the jug up and down. Close the steam control knob towards “ ” after the milk has frothed to the desired volume (approx. 50%). NOTE:

• To further heat up the milk insert the steam nozzle all the way to the bottom of the jug. Ensure that the milk does not start boiling. In this case the foam will collapse.

• The water is no longer hot enough if the indicator lamp (14) turns off during froth- ing. Turn the steam control knob towards “ ”. Wait until the indicator lamp lights up again. Now continue frothing the milk.

10. To remove the last coarse air bubbles knock

the milk jug after frothing carefully on the tabletop (as if you would set it down a bit hard). Swivel the milk jug slightly around. This helps to mix the foam after frothing. Now waste no time. Pour the frothed milk slowly into the espresso.

11. Swivel the milk jug slightly around while pour-

ing the frothed milk slowly into the espresso. NOTE:

• With a few artful movements you can draw designs into the foam.

• Sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon to taste on the foam.

12. IMPORTANT: Clean the steam nozzle im-

mediately after every use! When closing the steam control knob a vacuum is created within seconds, which draws some milk into the steam nozzle. Place your heat-resistant container under the steam nozzle. Open the steam control knob briey for a shot of steam to ush milk residue out of the steam nozzle. Wipe the steam nozzle with a damp cloth.

13. Press push button (12) to ESPRESSO position

to turn the steam function off.

14. To stop operation switch the appliance off.

Push button (10) is in OFF position.62 Cleaning

• Before cleaning, always remove the mains plug and wait until the device has cooled down.

• Do not immerse the device in water. Other- wise this might result in an electric shock or re. CAUTION:

• Clean the casing with a slightly damp cloth with- out detergents. Group Head and Rubber Seal Wipe group head and rubber seal with a damp cloth. Use a soft nylon brush to remove stubborn residues. Dry with a soft cloth. Accessories Wash lter holder, lter inserts, drip tray grid, drip tray, measuring spoon, water tank, steam nozzle pipe and steam nozzle cover in warm sudsy water. Use a soft nylon brush, if necessary. Rinse with clean water. Dry all parts with a soft cloth. CAUTION: These parts are not dishwasher-safe. Heat and aggressive detergents can cause distortion and decolouration. Water Tank

• Open the lid to remove the water tank. Pull the tank with both hands up and out. Replace the tank after cleaning and drying. NOTE: The water tank has two hooks.

• Hook the water tank into the two eyelets of the appliance.

• Press the water tank slightly down for the valve to open. Steam Nozzle

• Clean steam nozzle, attached pipe and cover immediately after use. Dry milk residue is dif- cult to clean.

The steam nozzle is hot immediately after use!

• Remove the cover. Use the small grip. Turn slightly for easy removal. Use a damp cloth to hold the steam nozzle with one hand!

• Use the spanner (20) to remove the small pipe from the steam nozzle. See Fig. C on page 3. Turn the spanner clockwise.

• Leave pipe and cover for some time in the warm sudsy water. In this way milk residue is easily removed.

• Wipe the steam nozzle on the appliance with a damp cloth. NOTE: Fill a container with hot water to remove dry residue. Place the container under the steam nozzle, so that it is submerged.

• After cleaning replace pipe and cover on the steam nozzle. Place a heat-resistant empty container under the steam nozzle. Operate the appliance as instructed under “Making Cappuc- cino” points 5 and 6. After cleaning the steam nozzle is again ready to use. Decalcication Scale deposits put the functionality of your ap- pliance at risk. It is necessary to decalcify the appliance regularly. The intervals depend on use frequency and water hardness. Decalcify with a commercial decalcier for coffee machines.

1. Dose as instructed on the packaging or on the

2. Operate the appliance as instructed for making

espresso until the tank is empty. Let the solu- tion ow through the group head (without lter holder).63

• Rinse the water tank and let one full tank fresh water ow through the group head to rinse out the decalcier residues.

• Do not use this water for making espresso. Storage

• Clean the appliance as instructed. Let the ac- cessories dry completely.

• We recommend that you keep the appliance in the original packaging if the appliance will be not used for long periods.
