• Wait until the steam completely stops before removing the
milk jug.
Place the steam wand in the "OFF" position after each use to
start automatic rinsing.
Barista tips: Fresh milk is recommended. Always use fresh milk
straight from the fridge.
For best results, always put the milk jug back in the fridge when
not in use.
Whole milk is recommended. The appearance and texture of
froth depends on the nature of the dairy milk or vegetable bev-
erages used.
After frothing the milk, eliminate unwanted bubbles by swirling
the jug gently.
Please note: During normal operation of the machine, some
water will be discharged in the drip tray to ensure optimal per-
formance.
After every use, remove any milk residue from the steam wand
with a soft damp cloth and place it in the "OFF" (auto clean) posi-
tion. The appliance delivers water from the steam wand.
A rinse is automatically performed when the appliance switches
off if the steam wand is left in position "A" (autosteaming).
If the wand is left in position "M" after steaming, the
indicator lights will blink to inform you of the need to place
the wand in the OFF position for automatic rinsing to be carried
out.
