Pr ration of steam
Steam can be used for frothing up milk for
cappuccino and also for the heating of
liquids.
Since a higher temperature is required for
the production of steam than is necessary
for making espresso, the espresso should
always be prepared first, as the coffee
grounds might otherwise get burnt.
CAREFUL: After each time steam has
been used, the heating system must be
refilled with water (see 'Filling the
heating system with water'). Note that
the residue of steam issues from the
steam nozzle first.
NOTE: When the steam knob is on symbol
Frothing-up milk for cappuccino
After you have prepared the espresso, froth
up the milk for cappuccino.
Make sure that the heating system is filled
with water (see 'Filling the heating system
with water').
The separate frothing aid should be used in
order to assure an optimum result.
n Push the frothing aid onto the steam
nozzle (21).
CAREFUL: The frothing aid is to be
used ONLY for the frothing-up of milk.
Pour about 3 oz. of low fat milk into a
stainless steel pitcher of not more than 17
oz. capacity, which must fit conveniently
below the steam nozzle of the machine.
The milk should be well cooled. You should
also use a cold pitcher, so do not wash it
out first with warm water.
Before starting with the frothing operation:
Turn the steam knob to symbol @3. Before
producing steam, water will issue from the
steam nozzle for a moment and this should
be caught in a separate container. As soon
as steam issues, turn the steam knob to
position 0.

Now start the frothing operation as follows:
Hold the pitcher beneath the frothing aid in
such a way that the nozzle dips completely
into the milk.
n Set the steam knob to the Q?3 position.
Hold the pitcher steady during the
frothing operation (22).
The nozzle should not touch the bottom of
the pitcher, so as not to impede the flow of
steam.
When the frothing operation is complete,
turn the steam knob to 0 and remove the
pitcher.
Now turn the steam knob to f$? for a
moment to blow out any residual milk from
the steam nozzle, putting a small container
underneath to catch the drops.
Clean the frothing aid and also the steam
nozzle with a moist cloth immediately after
the frothing operation.
Heating liquids
Pull the frothing aid off the steam nozzle.
Switch on the appliance.
Make sure that the heating system is full of
water (see 'Filling the heating system with
water').
As soon as the yellow indicator lamp goes
out, turn the steam knob to @5, whereupon
a small amount of water will run out of the
steam nozzle and should be caught in a
separate container. As soon as steam
issues, turn the steam knob to the C
position.
Place the container with the liquid to be
heated below the steam nozzle and dip the
latter into the liquid.
n Turn the steam knob to the GV position
When the liquid is sufficiently heated, return
the steam knob to 0 and remove the
container with the liquid.
Now turn the steam knob to @3 for a
moment to blow out any residues from the
steam nozzle, putting a small container
underneath to catch the drops.
Clean the steam nozzle with a moist cloth
immediately after heating the liquid.
