9. MAKING CAPPUCCINOS AND MILK-BASED
COFFEES
Please note:
• To avoid milk with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean
the milk container lid (D2) and hot water connection noz-
zle (A13) as described in sections "9.6 Cleaning the milk
container after use", "11.10 Cleaning the milk container"
and "11.11 Cleaning the hot water/steam connection
nozzle".

9.1 Filling and attaching the milk container

1. Remove the lid (D2) (fig. 16);
2. Fill the milk container (D3) with a sufficient quantity of
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 (A13) (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 (A14)
and frothed milk spout (D5). Adjust the length of the milk
spout. To move it nearer the cup, simply pull it downwards
(fig. 21);
8. Follow the instructions below for each individual function.

9.3 Making cappuccino
1. After attaching the milk container (D), turn the froth ad-
justment dial (D1) on the milk container lid (D2) to the
required position (fig. 22);
2. Press the CAPPUCCINO button (B10). "CAPPUCCINO" ap-
pears on the display (B1), together with a progress bar
which fills gradually as preparation proceeds;
3. After delivering the milk, the machine automatically
makes the coffee.
Please note:
• During delivery, if you want to stop making milk or coffee,
press the CAPPUCCINO button twice.
• Do not leave the milk container out of the refrigerator for
long periods. The warmer the milk (5°C is ideal), the poorer
the quality of froth produced.
9.4

Cleaning the milk container after use

Important! Danger of scalding
When cleaning the internal tubes of the milk container (D), a
little hot water and steam leak out of the milk spout (D5). Avoid
contact with splashes of water.
"SET DIAL TO CLEAN" appears on the display (B1) each time you
use a milk function. To eliminate all milk residues, proceed as
follows:
1. Leave the milk container (D) in the machine (you do not
need to empty it);
2. Place a cup or other recipient under the frothed milk spout
(fig. 21);
3. Turn the froth adjustment dial (D1) to "CLEAN" (fig. 23). A
progress bar appears on the display and gradually fills as
the operation proceeds together with the message "Clean-
ing underway, Please wait". Cleaning stops automatically;
4. Turn the dial back to one of the froth selections;
5. Remove the milk container and always clean the steam
connection nozzle (A13) with a sponge (fig. 24).
Please note:
• To prepare a number of cappuccinos or milk-based coffees,
clean the milk container after you have prepared the last
beverage only.
