must be used.
The espresso must be prepared before
the steam function is used for frothing
the milk.
-
Frothing the milk
- Fill a suitable jug with around 100 ml
of cold milk (do not preheat the jug).
- Place another (different) container
under the steam tube to begin with.
- Turn the valve selector control to the
position. After a few seconds,
steam and water will be emitted from
the nozzle.
- As soon as steam only (no water) is
emitted, position the jug containing
the milk under the steam tube.
- Move the jug round with a circular
motion for around 40-45 seconds,
making sure that the nozzle remains
submerged while frothing is in
progress.
- As soon as the milk appears to be
sufficiently frothy, turn the valve
selector control to its neutral position
to switch the pump off. During
frothing, the milk will heat up, but
must not be allowed to reach boiling
point.
- Once the valve selector is in the
neutral position, a slight noise will be
heard. This is due to technical
processes and perfectly normal.
- Pour the hot milk into the cup
containing the espresso coffee and,
using a spoon, spread the milk froth
over it.
-
Reheating beverages
- Insert the steam nozzle into the liquid
to be reheated and turn the valve
selector control to the position.
- Once the liquid has reached the
desired temperature turn the valve
selector control to its neutral position.
General Care and Cleaning
● Before cleaning the espresso maker,
ensure it is disconnected from the power
supply and has cooled down completely.
● To avoid the risk of electric shock, do
not clean the appliance with water and
do not immerse it in water.
● Do not use abrasives or harsh cleaning
solutions.
● Before cleaning the appliance, and also
in the case of the appliance remaining
unused for an extended period of time,
the remaining water in the container
should be drained completely. The
water container should be thoroughly
rinsed at regular intervals.
● The steam nozzle must be cleaned
immediately after the frothing process.
Wiping the nozzle with a wet cloth
should suffice.
-
If the steam nozzle becomes blocked,
proceed as follows:
- Pull the milk frother off the steam
nozzle.
- Unscrew the nozzle from the steam
tube, using the measuring scoop as a
tool.
- Insert a fine pin or needle into the
opening of the steam nozzle to
remove the blockage.
- Screw the steam nozzle back onto the
tube.
- Push the milk frother back onto the
nozzle.
-
All removable parts may be cleaned
with warm, soapy water.
-
Always empty the drip tray in good
time. Drip tray and drainer may be
cleaned with warm, soapy water.
-
The exterior housing may be wiped with
a dry or slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
-
The boiler outlet may be wiped with a
moist cloth.
-
The gasket area around the boiler outlet
(at the bayonet locking socket) should
be cleaned using a brush. A hard brush
is recommended.
