Steam Function - Krups AUTOMATIC XP52 Series Manual

6. STEAM FUNCTION

Steam is used to foam milk (for example to make a cappuccino or a cafe latte).
To produce steam, the pump works by emitting an intermittent noise.
After using the steam function, the appliance cools automatically by pumping cold water through
the heating system. During the pumping cycles, the excess steam in the heating system is released with
the hot water into the drip tray. The steam and noise that accompany this phase are important for
cooling the appliance.
Warning: during and after using the appliance, the metal parts of the steam nozzle can become very hot.
USING THE STEAM NOZZLE TO FROTH MILK
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4).
n After a few moments, the "on/off" light stops flashing and the "1 cup" and "2 cups" buttons light up.
n Press the "steam pre-heating" button. During preheating, the "on/off" and "steam pre-heating" lights
flash and the "1 cup" and "2 cups" lights go off (fig.12).
n Move the steam nozzle towards the outside of the appliance.
n Pour 60 to 100ml of cold fresh fat-free, low fat or whole milk in a small container that is about ½ litre
and can pass under the steam nozzle. The milk (UHT or pasteurised) and its container should be quite
cold.
n As soon as the device reaches the required temperature, the "on/off" and "steam pre-heating" lights
stop flashing.
n Place the steam nozzle in the milk and turn the knob to the "steam" position (fig. 13). The "steam pre-
heating" light will flash while steam is being produced.
n For a good result, hold the nozzle towards the bottom of the container for about 25 seconds while the
milk heats (without however touching the bottom of the container). Then, bring the container down
gradually so that the nozzle moves up towards the surface (without the nozzle coming out of the milk)
(fig.14).
n Once the froth has been formed, turn the knob to the "0" position (fig.15). The appliance will now
automatically cool itself by launching 3 intermittent pumping cycles. Once this automatic operation is
complete, you can make a coffee.
Important: To prevent the steam nozzle holes from being clogged, the milk foam must not reach the black
plastic upper part.
It is important to clean the steam nozzle after each use to prevent the milk from drying on the inside of the
nozzle. To do so:
n Place the steam nozzle in a container with water and repeat the milk frothing operation for 30 seconds.
WARNING!
The steam nozzle will be hot!
USING THE KRUPS XS-6000 AUTO-CAPPUCCINO SET TO FROTH MILK
The auto-cappuccino accessory makes it easier to make a cappuccino or a caffe latte. It is made up of a
special dual-position nozzle and a pipe.
n Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4).
n Attach the auto-cappuccino accessory firmly to the arm.
n Place a cup under the self-cappuccino accessory.
n Pour approximately 100 ml of fresh, cold, fat-free, low fat or whole milk in a container.
n Immerse the pipe into the container, or directly into the carton of milk.
Note: Assemble the pipe firmly on the cappuccino accessory (fig.24).
n Turn the accessory's switch to the "cappuccino" or "latte" position.
n Press the "steam pre-heating" button. During preheating, the "on/off" and "steam pre-heating" lights
flash and the "1 cup" and "2 cups" lights go off (fig.12).
