Please note:
• To avoid milk with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean
the milk container lid (D2) and hot water connection noz-
zle (A12) as described in sections "10.6 Cleaning the milk
container after use", "12.10 Cleaning the milk container"

milk, not exceeding the MAX level marked on the contain-
er (fig. 17). Each mark on the side of the container corre-
sponds to 100ml of milk;
Please note:
• For a denser more even froth, you must 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.
3. Make sure the milk intake tube (D4) is correctly inserted in
the bottom of the milk container lid (fig. 18);
4. Place the lid back on the milk container;
5. Remove the hot water spout (C6) from the connection noz-
zle (A12) (fig. 19);
6. Attach the container to the connection nozzle and push
as far as it will go (fig. 20). The machine emits a beep (if
enabled);
7. Place a sufficiently large cup under the coffee spouts (A13)
and frothed milk spout (D5). Adjust the length of the milk
spout. To move it nearer the cup, simply pull it downwards
