Using The Hot Water Function - Sunbeam Espresso Vita EM6200 Instruction Booklet

Guide to milk texturing (continued)
the correct temperature. It's important to
remember that if the milk is not heated
long enough the drink will be too cool and
if heated for too long it will start to boil at
around 72°C and all texture will be lost.
Tip: If you don't have a thermometer a good
indication that the correct temperature has
been reached is when the jug becomes too
hot to leave your fingers in contact.
Important: Do not boil the milk as the texture
and taste will be affected.

Using the hot water function

The hot water function is ideal for preheating
cups and glasses, brewing teas, preparing
long blacks, hot chocolates and filling coffee
plungers.
When using the hot water function the
espresso machine needs to be in 'HOT
WATER' mode, so the red light on the
'POWER' button and the red light around the
'HOT WATER' button are illuminated.
Note: Should the espresso machine not be
in hot water mode, simply press the 'HOT
WATER' button to activate (31).
1.Swing the steam and hot water wand to the
side of the espresso machine.
2.Place the cup or container under the
steam/hot water nozzle and activate the hot
water function by turning the steam and
hot water control dial anti-clockwise as far
as it will go (32).
9. Remove the jug, immediately wipe the
steam nozzle and wand with a clean damp
cloth (30) and purge a small amount of
steam.
10. With the jug in hand tap the jug on the
bench top to release the trapped air
bubbles. Agitate the milk as this helps
the milk and froth combine for an even
consistency.
Note: After 10 minutes of non-use in
steam mode, the espresso machine will
automatically return to ready mode.
Caution: The water from the hot water nozzle
will be close to boiling temperature. Take
care as boiling water may scald. Additionally,
the wand will be hot and may burn.
3.Once you have dispensed the required
amount of hot water into the cup or
container, close the hot water by turning
the steam/hot water control dial clockwise
(33).
4.Remove the cup or container and swing the
steam/hot water wand over the drip tray to
catch any drips of water (34).
