The nozzle is used to froth milk for cappuccinos and hot chocolate, as well as to heat liquids.
You can also make hot water for teas and infusions or preheat your cups.
Steam
• Check that the machine is ready ( )
.
• Slide the steam pipe :
- Up : to heat liquids.
- Down : to froth milk.
• Partly fill a tall, narrow container (e.g. a small jug) with the
liquid you wish to heat (
1

2
/
3
full for other
liquids) and place it under the nozzle.
Do not touch the nozzle, as it becomes extremely hot. When
handling the nozzle, always hold it by the plastic ring.
Warning, the steam is scalding hot.
• Lower the steam nozzle into the container and turn the hot water
/steam selector towards as far as it will go. Some water
will be dispersed before the steam appears. This is quite normal
and does not affect the end result.
Lower the nozzle halfway down into the liquid, making sure that
it does not touch the bottom of the container, so as not to prevent
the inflow of air. Make gentle circular movements downwards.
NB : It takes a few seconds for the temperature to rise sufficiently
for steam to be produced. The pump is triggered at regular
intervals (staccato noise).
• To stop the production of steam, turn the button back to 0

NB : to limit any splashing, choose a fairly tall, narrow
container.
- Turn the selector back to 0

• Wipe the nozzle clean immediately after use with a damp sponge, sliding the pipe up and
