1. Prepare the espresso cofee as described in the
previous paragraphs, using cups that are large
enough
3. While waiting for the OK light, ill a container with
about 100 grams of milk for every cappuccino
to be prepared. The milk must be at refrigerator
temperature (5°C). When choosing the container
consider that the volume of the milk will increase by
2 or 3 times.
Please Note:
It is recommended to use semi-skimmed milk at
refrigerator temperature.
4. Position the container with the milk under the
cappuccino nozzle.
5. Wait for the OK light to switch on. This indicates

rotating it towards the left (ig. 14): pay attention

7. Dip the cappuccino nozzle into the milk a few
millimeters (ig. 15). Turn the steam dial anti-
clockwise (ig. 16), for at least half a turn. Steam
escapes from the cappuccino nozzle giving the milk
a creamy appearance and increasing its volume. To
obtain a creamier froth, dip the cappuccino nozzle
into the milk and turn the container with slow
movements from the bottom upwards.
8. When the volume of the milk has doubled, dip the
cappuccino nozzle deep down and continue to heat
the milk (ig. 17). When the desired temperature
(ideal value is 60°C) and the desired milk froth have
been reached, interrupt the steam by turning the
steam dial clockwise (ig. 18) and turn the selector
dial to the position.
9. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the
position (ig. 13).
The cappuccino nozzle must always be washed after
each use to ensure hygiene. Proceed as follows:
