If the machine has not been used for a longer period of time, it is recommended to
.. clean the group (see instructions, page 26); After this, please do not clamp the filter holder back into the group.
.. empty the boiler.
1 Switch the machine off (power switch in lower position) and open the hot water dispenser. Due to the boiler
pressure, the boiler water is now discharged by the hot water dispenser.
2 Close the hot water lever again after emptying the boiler.
To restart the machine, see chapter "First use".
How to froth milk like a "barista"
1 If possible, use cold, fresh milk with a fat content of approx. 1.5 % or 3 %. Even UHT-milk is suitable, if
preferred.
2 Use a milk jug (made of metal) with a minimum volume of 0.5 litres. The size of the container should not be too
large. A narrow and high container is perfect.
3 Open the steam valve for approx. 5 seconds to release the condensation water and to create dry steam.
4 Fill 1/3 of the jug with milk and place it under the steam nozzle. The nozzle should be immersed in the middle of
the milk jug.
5 Slowly open the steam lever. The steam pervades the milk.
6 Keep the milk jug still.
7 After a few seconds you will notice a light suction in the milk jug. Proper frothing begins. Move the milk jug
lower while the milk level increases. The steam nozzle must be kept under the surface of the frothing milk.
Milk proteins "froth" with a temperature up to 77°C.
Once this temperature is exceeded, the milk does not froth anymore.
8 When the desired amount of milk froth is reached, immerse the entire steam nozzle in the milk jug and close the
steam lever.
When the milk frothing is finished, just agitate the milk jug a little bit in order make the milk
bubbles ascend to the surface and to get a compact milk froth.
9 If there is some milk left, let the pitcher cool down; it can be re-used later.
10 After frothing the milk, release steam into the drip tray in order to avoid the steam nozzle becomming blocked.
