1. The first step in making cappuccino is to make espresso. Therefore, fill the glass carafe with
cold water to the designated marking for the desired number of servings. Never use warm or
hot water to fill the water reservoir. (See Chart from "H
2. Follow steps 1 – 5 in "B
3. Fill a small stainless steel or ceramic pitcher 1/3 full with cold milk and set next to machine.
Skim or 2% milk will be the easiest to froth. Ultimately, you will brew your espresso and froth
the milk afterwards. You will need to be sure to stop brewing espresso once it reaches your
desired cup marking on the carafe. This way, you will have enough steam to froth your milk
afterwards.
4. If making 2 servings, stop brewing espresso at the 2-cup mark. Turn the control knob to the
Off position. If making 4 servings, stop brewing espresso at the 4-cup mark. Turn the control
knob to the Off position. At this time the unit has created enough pressure and steam to start
frothing the milk.
5. For your convenience and storage, this appliance has a swinging frothing aid. To use the frother,
simply swing the aid away or out of the machine. You are now ready to froth and steam your
milk. Hold the pitcher under the frothing tube so that the frothing aid is slightly immersed in the
milk. Turn the control knob slowly to the
motion around the steam nozzle for about 45 seconds. R
pitcher should be cold prior to frothing.
6. When the milk has doubled in volume, or, if you are using a beverage thermometer, when the
milk has reached 100°F insert the frothing aid deeper into the milk to further heat the milk.
The temperature of the milk, when finished, should be 140°F - 145°F. Do not exceed 150°F.
To avoid splattering of hot milk, do not let the frothing aid go above the surface of the milk.
After frothing is completed, turn the control knob back to the Off position before removing
the pitcher from the frothing aid.
7. You are now ready to make cappuccino. R
and 1/3 frothed milk. Pour the espresso into a cup which has the capacity of at least 5 ounces.
Then add the steamed milk to the espresso and spoon on the frothed milk.
8. Follow the instructions on Page 7 under section marked "C
to flush out any residual milk from the frothing aid. (Milk can clog the frother and
prevent it from working in the future.) When finished using and cleaning the frother,
swing it back into the unit.
9. Unplug the power cord and allow the machine to cool. Do not remove the reservoir cap
or brew basket until the pressure in the machine has been released. Follow
procedures in section marked "C
