to make espresso after frothing milk
If you're making espresso straight after frothing milk, you need to get rid of any
over-hot water that could burn your coffee. Here's how:
1 Swing out the maxi-cappucino nozzle and stand an empty jug underneath.
2 Hold down the steam release/hot water button and then switch the on/off and
coffee button on. Allow a good cupful of water to come out.
3 Switch the coffee and on-off buttons off and then release the steam release/hot
water button.
to boil water for other hot drinks, eg tea, fruit drinks
1 Put all buttons in the 'out' (off) position.
2 Pour water into the tank.
3 Swing out the maxi-cappucino nozzle and put a cup underneath.
4 Switch the on-off button on.
5 When the coffee light goes out, hold down the steam release/hot water button
then switch the coffee button on. Hot liquid may come out of the liquid coffee
outlet.
6 Let the cup fill with water.
If the coffee light comes on, the water needs re-heating, so switch the coffee
button off and then release the steam release/hot water button. When the light
goes out, hold down the steam release/hot water button and switch the coffee
button on.
7 Switch the coffee button off and release the steam release/hot water button.
