Krups Pump espresso Manual page 7

The steam will foam the coffee (for example, when making cappuccinos).
„ Plug in your machine.
„ Remove the water tank and fill it. The water level should not exceed the "MAX" mark on
the tank and should contain at least 300 ml. Then replace the water tank, ensuring that
the cover is closed.
„ Press the "On" button; the indicator light switches on.
„ Press the selection button to activate the steam function (button depressed) (35)
„ The thumb wheel, set to function O, indicates that preheating is in progress. Once
preheating has finished, the steam indicator light switches on (36).
„ Place an empty receptacle or cup underneath the nozzle (37).
„ Open the nozzle system by turning the thumb wheel to the right, to the steam preparation
function, to run the water through the system before the steam begins. (D.3.3) (38).
„ Turn the thumb wheel to program O (39).
„ To make a cappuccino, fill a container with approximately 60 to 100 ml of milk. For best
results, use a narrow and relatively small container that can be slipped under the steam
nozzle (G) (40). For best results, the milk and container should be very cold.
„ Place the nozzle into the container of milk and turn the thumb wheel to the right, to the
steam position.
„ For best results, foam the milk near the bottom of the container for approximately 10
seconds, taking care not to touch the bottom. Then slowly tilt the container and move the
nozzle upwards until it is almost at the surface of the milk. Make sure that the nozzle does
not leave the milk. To get a great foam, move the container in circular motions.
„ To get the best foam, we recommend using pasteurised or UHT milk, and to avoid using
non-pasteurised or skimmed milk.
„ Once you have achieved the best foam, turn the thumb wheel to position O (41)
„ To prevent overheating the milk, do not use the steamer for more than 45 seconds (for
100 ml of milk).
„ You can start making an espresso by following the steps detailed above.
„ To prevent milk from drying inside the nozzle, please clean it after each use. To do this,
follow the steps for foaming the milk, replacing 100 ml of milk with 60 ml of water. To avoid
burning yourself, remove the nozzle from the foam (G.1) and wash it in clean water (42).
Clean the steam nozzle using a damp cloth (G) (43).
„ Remove the drip tray, empty it and clean it using clean water (44-45).
„ Refer to the next section for manual cleaning.
IMPORTANT!
Warning! To prevent the milk from spattering, do not lift the nozzle out of
the milk when using "steam" mode.
IMPORTANT!
Warning! The steam nozzle is still hot! Be careful you do not burn yourself!
IMPORTANT! After switching off the steam function, clean the nozzle
immediately and carefully, as set out in the section: CLEANING AND
