Specification For The Measurement Of The Milk Products Temperature - Philips EP 4300 Series Service Manual

Technical information

Specification for the measurement of the Milk products temperature.

Before measuring the milk froth temperature and milk froth height make sure the following conditions will be
met:
Conditions:
a) Use semi skimmed UHT milk with a fat percentage between 1.5 – 1.8%
b) Milk is cooled between 4 – 8°C (refrigerator temperature).
c) Use a plastic transparent measuring beaker which can hold min 250mL with an inner diameter of 70mm.
d) Use a digital thermometer (see picture 2, page 8) (e.g. type K probe diameter max 2mm (see picture 3,
page 8).
Depending on the frothing system, the applicable specification need to be selected to determine if the
appliance is within specification.
Available systems:
• Manual system pannarello (CMF)
• Automatic system (Latte Go)
Milk temperature in the beaker:
• System with CMF: With milk at Trefr. (about 4-10 °C):
• System with LatteGo: With milk at Trefr. (about 4-8 °C):
How does it work:
1. The milk is heated in the first chamber of the carafe thanks to the steam.
2. Then, it is mixed with air and frothed in the middle chamber.
3. Finally, in the outlet chamber, the 'typhoon effect' perfects the milk texture by removing the large bubbles
Procedure to measure the temperature of the milk.
1. Place the beaker under the milk spout.
2. Dispense 100gr of milk froth.
3. Measure the temperature immediately after milk froth is dispensed, you need to finish the measurement
within 5 seconds.
4. The temperature is measured by placing the probe of the thermometer ± 10mm above the bottom of the
beaker.
5. Then stir the probe for 3 to 5 times and read out the thermometer values during stirring, values should
stabilize.
6. Hold the probe still in the center of the beaker and read out the temperature.
