Making Cappuccino

1. Make espresso as described above using big enough cups.
2. Press steam button
light keep on, the machine is pre-heating.
3. Fill a container with approximately 60 to 100 ml of cold milk.
Note :
• For the best results, use a narrow and relatively small container that can be slipped
under the steam nozzle.
• When choosing the size of the milk container, keep in mind that the milk volume will
increase by two to three times.
• We recommend using pasteurized or UHT milk at fridge temperature, and to avoid
using non-pasteurized or skimmed milk.

5. Turn the knob (L) from preheat (L1) to steam position (L2) (25), steam button white light

Note : For best results, foam the milk near the bottom of the container for approximately 10
seconds, taking care not to touch the bottom. Then slowly tilt the container and move the
nozzle upwards until it is almost at the surface of the milk. Make sure that the nozzle does
not leave the milk. To get a great foam, move the container in circular motions (26).
6. Once you have achieved the best foam turn the knob back to preheat position (27).
Note : To prevent overheating the milk, do not use the steamer for more than 45 seconds
(for 100 ml of milk).
7. Spread the milk froth over the cup(s) of espresso.
Note :
• If you wish to make more than one cappuccino, first make all the espressos, then make
the milk froth.
• Clean the steam nozzle immediately after use to ensure it does not get clogged up with
milk residue. See "Cleaning the steam nozzle".
IMPORTANT! Warning! To prevent the milk from spattering, do not lift the
nozzle out of the milk when using "steam" mode.
