HOW TO TEXTURE MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ
• Hold the frothing jug at an angle so
that steam wand and/or the frothing
attachment sits just below the surface of
the heating milk and the steam will move
the milk around the inside of the jug in a
circular motion.
NOTE: The espresso machine features
a swivel steam wand assembly so
the position of the steam wand can
be changed to a comfortable angle.
WARNING: MILK SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN OVER THE TOP OF THE FROTHING
ATTACHMENT, OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. TO AVOID
SPLATTERING OF HOT MILK, DO NOT LIFT THE END OF THE FROTHING ATTACHMENT
ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE MILK WHILE FROTHING. ENSURE THE SELECTOR
CONTROL IS IN THE 'STANDBY' POSITION BEFORE REMOVING THE FROTHING JUG.

• When the milk starts to increase in
volume, immerse the steam wand and/
or frothing attachment deeper into the
jug to heat the milk.
• Hold the jug at an angle with one hand
and place your other hand on the outer
base of the stainless frothing jug.
• When the base of the jug becomes too
hot to touch, set the Selector Control
to the 'Standby' position, stopping
the steaming function before
removing the jug. A pumping noise will
sound for a short time, do not be
alarmed as there will be a fi ve second
delay prior to the machine carrying out
the Auto-purge function.
• Pour the steamed milk into each cup of
freshly brewed espresso coffee and
spoon in the frothing milk, in the
following ratios:
Cappuccino - 1 ⁄ espresso, 1 ⁄ steamed milk,
3 3
1 ⁄ frothed milk
3
Latté - 1 ⁄ espresso topped with steamed milk
3
and approximately 1cm frothed milk, traditionally
served in a glass.
NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous
steaming, the machine will
automatically disable the steam
function. The steam and hot water
lights will fl ash. When this occurs
return the selector control to the
'Standby' position.
NOTE: Always ensure that the frothing
attachment has been fi rmly pushed
onto the steam wand and connects
with the rubber surround. For best
results use cold fresh milk (low
fat milk will froth easier). Always
clean the steam wand and frothing
attachment after every use. Refer
to 'Care and Cleaning', page 24.
NOTE: For brewing more coffee
immediately after using the steam
function, this machine features an
auto-purge function. This ensures
that ground coffee will not be burnt
by the initial water fl ow from the
thermoblock being too hot. Instead
this water is automatically released
internally into the drip tray ensuring
that the internal thermostat is at
optimal temperature for extracting
coffee. Your coffee will always
be extracted at this optimal
temperature ensuring only the best
fl avoured coffee is achieved.
