not exceeding the MAX level marked on the container (fig.

to 100 ml of milk.
Please note!
• For a denser more even froth, you should use skimmed or
partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about
5°C).
• If "energy saving" mode is enabled, you may have to wait
a few seconds before the first cappuccino is delivered.

bottom of the milk container lid (fig. 20).
4. Place the lid back on the milk container.
5. Remove the hot water spout from the nozzle, by pressing
the button.
