NOTE
Pressurised steam can still be released, even
after the machine has been switched off.
Children must always be supervised.
NOTE
When the machine creates steam, a pumping
noise can be heard. This is normal operation.
NOTE
Use only the supplied stainless steel milk
jug to froth milk using this machine. The use
of other containers may lead to dangerous
conditions.
MANUAL MILK TEXTURING
• Auto milk texturing and auto shut-off are
disabled during manual milk texturing.
• Fill the milk jug to between the MIN and
MAX markings.
• Lift the steam wand and insert into the milk
+
jug with the steam wand tip 1-2cm below the
surface of the milk, close to the right-hand
side of the jug at a 3 o'clock position.
• Press the STEAM button to begin texturing.
• Keep the steam wand tip just under the
surface of the milk until the milk is spinning
clockwise, producing a vortex (whirlpool effect).
• With the milk spinning, slowly lower the jug.
This will bring the steam wand tip to the
surface of the milk and start to introduce air
into the milk.
• Gently break the surface of the milk with the
tip to get the milk spinning fast enough.
• Keep the steam wand tip at or slightly below
the surface, continuing to maintain the vortex.
Texture the milk until sufficient volume
is obtained.
