mAkInG CAPuCCIno And hot mIlk
(not Frothed)
Important! Danger of burns
During preparation, steam is given off. Take care
to avoid scalds.
1. When making cappuccino, prepare the cof-
fee in a large cup;
2. Fill a container with about 100 grams of milk
for each cappuccino to be made. In choosing
the size of the container, bear in mind that
the milk doubles or triples in volume.
Please note:
For a richer denser froth, use skimmed or
partially skimmed milk at refrigerator tempe-
rature (about 5°C).
To avoid milk with poor froth or large bub-
bles, always clean the cappuccino maker as
described in the section "Cleaning the cap-
puccino maker after use" on page 32.
3. Make sure the ring on the cappuccino maker
is positioned downwards in the CAPPUCCI-
NO position (fig. 16).
4. Press the button. "Heating up... Please
wait" is displayed, followed after a few se-
conds by "TURN STEAM KNOB".
5. Turn the cappuccino maker outwards, im-
mersing it in the milk container (fig. 17).
Take care never to immerse the black ring.
6. Turn the steam knob to the I position (fig.
4) . Steam is delivered from the cappuccino
maker, giving the milk a creamy frothy appe-
arance and making it more voluminous.
7. To obtain a creamier froth, rotate the contai-
ner with slow upward movements.
You should not deliver steam for more than 3
minutes at a time.
8. When you have obtained the required froth,
stop steam delivery by turning the steam
knob back to the 0 position.
(fig. 12). Important! Danger of burns
Stop steam delivery before removing the
container with the frothed milk to avoid
burns caused by splashes of boiling milk.
9. Add the frothed milk to the cup of coffee pre-
pared previously.
The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste
and, if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little
cocoa powder.

making hot milk (without froth)

To make hot milk without froth, proceed as
described in the above section, making sure
the ring on the cappuccino maker is posi-
tioned upwards in the "HOT MILK" position.

Cleaning the cappuccino maker after use.

Clean the cappuccino maker each time you use it
to avoid the build-up of milk residues or blocka-
ges.
When cleaning the cappuccino maker, a little hot
water comes out. Avoid contact with splashes of
water.
1. Discharge a little water for a few seconds by
rotating the steam knob to the I position.
Then turn the steam knob to the 0 position to
stop the flow of hot water.
2. Wait a few minute for the cappuccino maker
to cool down. Turn the cappuccino maker
outwards and remove it by pulling it down-
wards (fig. 18).
3. Move the ring upwards (fig. 19).
4. Remove the nozzle downwards (fig. 20).
5. Make sure the two holes shown by the arrow
in fig. 21 are not blocked. If necessary, clean
with a pin.
6. Replace the nozzle, move the ring down-
wards and put the cappuccino maker back
on the nozzle (fig. 22), turning it and pushing
it upwards until it is attached.
