NOTE
It may last a few seconds until the water is pressed out.
6. Wait until the steam indicator illuminates again and repeat step 5 for heating
the steam wand up to steam temperature.
7. By the handle, turn the steam wand to a position, where you can hold the milk
vessel conveniently under the steam wand. Lift the milk vessel to immerse the tip
of the steam wand at an angle below the surface of the milk. The steam wand
should be near the side wall of the milk vessel.
IMPORTANT - If required, stop texturing in time to avoid overflow. The milk and
milk jug will be heated up via the steam. Be careful, while touching the milk jug
during texturing.
8. To start frothing, turn the steam dial clockwise. With the steam wand in correct
position, a vortex is generated in the milk.
9. When using a metal vessel: hold your hand at the bottom of the milk vessel
for feeling the temperature, which must get lukewarm. When using a porcelain
vessel: let the steam function operate for 5 -10 seconds.
Then, carefully lower the vessel to bring the tip of the steam wand near the surface
of the milk. Steam and air build up the froth. When using a metal vessel, let the
appliance operate, until the vessel just gets too hot for touching it. Otherwise, let the
appliance operate for another 5 -10 seconds. While doing so, ensure that the milk
does not overflow.
WARNING
– After texturing, the steam wand will be very hot. Hot steam and
hot water may escape even after closing the steam dial. Handle with care to avo-
id scalding! With your hands only touch the steam wand at the handle.
10. When the desired temperature or consistency is reached, BEFORE removing the
milk vessel, turn the steam dial back to the closed position "0" for stopping the
steam flow. Thereafter, place the milk vessel onto the warming tray.
11. Immediately, wipe the steam wand and tip with the damp cloth, ensuring not to
touch the metal parts of the steam wand with your skin. By the handle, turn
the steam wand to the drip tray. Purge the steam wand. For this, repeatedly turn
the steam dial to and fro, producing some short steam blasts. If required, wipe
the steam wand again.
12. If you do not wish to use the steam function again, press the steam button for
switching back to the espresso function. The steam indicator gets dark.
