Note:
When using flavored coffee, we
recommend running two or three hot
water rinse cycles to avoid flavor trans-

PROCESSING HOT WATER
THROUGH FROTHER
You can add hot water to your cup of
coffee to make it less strong. You can
also use this feature to make a cup of
hot tea or instant soup.
• Place a cup under the frother and turn
the selector switch to the steam/hot
water symbol (see fig. 2b).
• Immediately press the hot-water
button
. The machine will pump
hot water through the frother. The
green READY light
water light
blink during this process.
• To stop the hot water flow, turn the
selector switch back to the coffee
position (see fig. 2a).
Caution:
When hot water and steam are
first processed, there is a possibility of
spitting and risk of scalding.
becomes very hot, AVOID direct contact
with the skin.

FROTHING AND STEAMING
Use this feature to heat up liquids or to
froth or steam milk for cappuccinos or
lattes.
Before you start:
A. The removable parts of the frother
(cylinder and black tip) are high precision
parts. Always keep these two parts
clean and free of milk residue. The black
tip has a hole on the bottom and two
. The
and green hot-
The frother
small holes on the side connected by a
small groove. Make sure that all three
holes and the groove of the tip are com-
pletely free of hardened milk. Otherwise
you won't get frothy milk (see chapter
10.2 for cleaning)
B. Initially the frother tip is attached more
than finger tight (to prevent theft at retail).
Before first use, loosen the tip using a
coin (see fig. 15). Make sure the tip is
screwed on finger tight. If the tip is sit-
ting loosely on the frother, steam and air
will escape to the sides. You won't get
frothy milk.
FOR FROTHING: the cylinder of the
frother should be pushed down
(see fig. 12).
FOR STEAMING: the cylinder of the
frother should be pushed up (see fig. 13).
To Froth or Steam Milk:
A. Fill a pitcher with cold milk.
Note:
Always start with cold milk. Skim
milk (0% fat) will produce the most froth
and will let you taste more of your
espresso. 1% and 2% milk will give you
a bit less froth. Regular milk (3% fat) will
produce half or less than half the froth
of skim milk.
B. Place an empty cup underneath the
frother and turn the selector switch to
the steam/hot water symbol (see fig.
2b). Within 10 seconds the machine will
dispense some residual water. Let the
water run into the cup until steam
appears.
C. Turn the selector switch back to the
coffee position (see fig. 2a) and remove
the cup.
D. Immerse the frother into the milk so
that the tip of the frother, including the
small side holes, is beneath the surface
of the milk (see fig. 14).
E. Now turn the selector switch to the
steam/hot water position (see fig. 2b)
and the machine will deliver hot steam
for frothing your milk. Steam output is
continuous.
Note:

knocking noise. This indicates that
