Frothing Milk - Krups XP160050 Manual

Frothing milk

!
CAUTION
Make sure your appliance has cooled and all pressure has been released (see
CAUTION-PRESSURE).
1. Fill the boiler container with cold water.
!
CAUTION
For steam only, do not fill the glass carafe with cold water above the 2-cups
marking. This amount of water will always provide enough steam for frothing
milk.
2. Pour 4 to 6 oz of fresh, cold milk into a small pitcher. Milk will froth better in a cold pitcher.
The pitcher should fit underneath the cappuccino nozzle. We recommend using 2% or
skim milk for a stiff, dense froth. Use regular whole milk if you prefer a creamy froth.
3. Make sure the espresso side of the machine is on, then turn the side selector knob to
STEAM (b2).
4. Place your frothing pitcher under the steam nozzle.
! CAUTION :
Do not leave the machine unattended at this time.
It will take approximately 30 to 60 seconds after turning the machine on for the steam
to come out of the steam nozzle. Plunge the steam nozzle into the pitch of milk without
touching the bottom of the pitcher to prevent blocking the steam flow.
As soon as the milk begins to move, slowly move the steam nozzle back to the surface
of the milk with a circular motion.
Plunge the steam nozzle into the container again this time with an increasing circular
movement.
Do this several times until the milk turns into a thick and creamy froth.
When the required quantity of milk is reached, turn the steam release knob to the "Off"
position.
5. Now you can remove the pitcher from underneath the steam nozzle.
!
Caution :
If you do not need all the water for steaming, proceed as follows:
a) turn off the machine.
b) release the remaining steam pressure into another container.
Do not close the steam release knob before all steam is released or machine has been
turned "OFF"! (See section – CAUTION - PRESSURE)
!
ATTENTION !
The plastic housing of the steam nozzle (D) has 2 fine holes on the sides which draw
air into the milk.
If those holes get clogged, the milk will not be frothed properly. Therefore, do not fully
immerse the steam nozzle in milk or froth up to those holes.
