The "Perfect Froth" attachment should be
used to froth milk only.
As long as the machine is ON and the water
reservoir is properly filled, you can
froth/steam at any time. It is not required
that you brew coffee before
frothing/steaming. The thumping sound
which occurs during frothing/steaming
results from the interval-controlled water
pump. As the thumping sound begins a few
drops of water will come out of the nozzle
before changing to steam.

The first step in making cappuccino is to
make espresso (see Preparing Espresso).
When making cappuccino, use a cappuccino
cup which has a capacity of at least 5 oz.
Fill one third to half the cup with espresso,
depending on your personal taste.
Step 2
Fill a stainless steel pitcher l/3 to l/2 full
with fresh, cold milk (skim or low-fat works
best).
n
With the rotary dial in the 0 position,
press the 6 button (see figure 24).
w Submerge the tip of the "Perfect Froth"
approximately l/2 way. Do not let
"Perfect Froth" touch the bottom of the
pitcher; it will prevent the milk from
properly frothing. Turn the rotary dial to
the (?3 position (see figure 25).
Leave the steam nozzle in the milk for about
45-60 seconds, depending on the
consistency of froth you desire and type of
milk being used.
Attention: Do not bring milk to a boil
(if large bubbles start forming at the surface
of the milk).
The top closure of the "Perfect Froth" has a
very fine hole which draws air into the milk.
If this hole becomes clogged, the "Perfect
Froth" will not work properly. Never
immerse the top closure.
Once the milk is frothed, keep the "Perfect
Froth" tip submerged as you turn the rotary
dial back to the 0 position. This will
prevent any hot milk from splattering.
Step 3
Pour the steamed milk to the waiting
espresso and spoon on froth. If you prefer
stiff froth, let the pitcher stand for a few
seconds after frothing.
Immediately wipe off the milk residue left
on the nozzle (see Cleaning).
Heating liquids
n To conveniently heat liquids, make sure
that the "Perfect Froth" attachment is
removed. Follow the same instructions
for frothing milk, placing the steam
nozzle into a cup or receptacle and
steaming (see figure 26).
"Perfect Froth":
It is strongly advised that you wipe off milk
residue from the steam nozzle and "Perfect
Froth" once frothing is complete.
n For a thorough cleaning, remove each
separate part (see figure 33).
All parts should be handwashed in warm,
soapy water.
n If the nozzle becomes clogged for any
reason, remove the screw holding the
steam nozzle in position (see figure 32)
and remove all milk particles (use a
needle and rinse running water).
Replace the steam nozzle and be sure screw
is turned tightly.
A
Use caution when removing the
"Perfect Froth" attachment; it may still
be hot.
Important
Clean the steam nozzle each time it has
been immersed in milk, otherwise the inside
of the nozzle becomes clogged and difficult
to remove. Allow the steam to escape into a
wet cloth for one or two seconds to flush
any residue.
