In choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that the
milk doubles or triples in volume;
Please note :
For a richer denser froth, use skimmed or partially skimmed milk
at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C). To avoid milk with poor
froth or large bubbles, always clean the cappuccino maker (A19)
as described in the section "Cleaning the cappuccino maker after
use".
3. Make sure the cappuccino maker selection ring (A18) is
positioned downwards in the "CAPPUCCINO" position (fig.
16);
4. Press the
(B9) button. "Heating up Please wait" is
displayed, followed after a few seconds by "TURN STEAM
DIAL";
5. Turn the cappuccino maker outwards and immerse it in the
milk container (fig. 17). Take care not to immerse the black
ring;
6. Turn the steam dial to the I position (fig. 4). Steam is deliv-
ered from the cappuccino maker, giving the milk a creamy
frothy appearance and making it more voluminous;
7. For a creamier froth, rotate the container with slow move-
ments in an upward direction. (You should not deliver
steam for more than 3 minutes at a time);
8. When you have obtained the required froth, stop steam
delivery by turning the steam dial back to the O position.
Danger of burns!
Stop steam delivery before removing the container with the
frothed milk to avoid burns caused by splashes of boiling milk.
9. Add the milk froth to the cup of coffee prepared previously.
The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and, if desired,
sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.

10.1 Making hot milk (not frothed)

To make hot milk without froth, proceed as described in the
above section, but with the cappuccino maker selection ring
(A18) positioned upwards in the "HOT MILK" position.

10.2 Cleaning the cappuccino maker after use

Always clean the cappuccino maker (A19) after use to avoid the
build-up of milk residues and prevent the spouts from clogging.
1. Place a container under the cappuccino maker and deliver
a little water for a few seconds by rotating the steam dial
(A20) to the I position (fig. 5). Then turn the steam dial to
the O position to stop the flow of hot water.
2. Wait a few minutes for the cappuccino maker to cool down.
Turn the cappuccino maker outwards and remove it by
pulling it downwards (fig. 18).
3. Move the selection ring (A18) upwards (fig. 19).
4. Remove the nozzle downwards (fig. 20).
5. Make sure the two holes shown by the arrow in fig. 21 are
not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.
6. Replace the nozzle, move the ring downwards and put the
cappuccino maker back on the nozzle (fig. 22), turning it
and pushing it upwards until it is attached.

11. PREPARING HOT WATER

Danger of burns!
Never leave the machine unattended while delivering hot
water. The spout of the cappuccino maker (A19) becomes hot
while water is being delivered and must be held by the black
ring (A18) only.
1. Place a container under the cappuccino maker (as close as
possible to avoid splashes) (fig. 17).
2. Turn the steam dial (A20) to the I position (fig. 4). "Hot
water" is displayed and delivery begins.
3. Stop by turning the steam dial to the O position.
Please note :
If "Energy Saving" mode is active, you may have to wait a few
seconds before the hot water is delivered.
