Take a receptacle which is as narrow and tall as
possible and very clean. Pour in cold skimmed
milk (make sure not to pour in too much at a
time) and introduce the steam / hot water noz-
zle under the surface of the milk. Impart a circu-
lar movement to the receptacle until a thick foam
has formed. Then immerse the steam/hot water
fully into the milk until it is warm.
To end the steam preparation, turn the rotary
knob in the other direction.
Warning ! Do not remove the receptacle until
no more steam emerges from the nozzle. This
will prevent hot liquid from splashing
Clean the nozzle immediately after use with a
damp cloth.

immerse the nozzle too deeply into the milk.
Move the receptacle slowly up and down
Do not heat the milk too much otherwise the
foam will disappear

Preheating Cups

It is highly recommended that you preheat the
cups with very hot water before making the first
espresso of the day. Subsequent cups can be pre-
heated by stocking them on the cup heating plate.
To preheat cups with the steam/hot water noz-
zle, follow the instructions given under the sec-
tion on: «Preparing Hot Water».
Cleaning (17-20)
After the extraction of each espresso or the
use of the steam / hot water nozzle, residual
water in the thermoblock is discharged into
the drip tray provoking a light hissing noise. It

empty the drip tray after about 20 coffees
and, at the same time, to clean them with a
non-abrasive, dish washing liquid (17).
Before replacing the drip tray and the drip
grid, make sure that the back section of the
drip tray with the integral float is correctly
positioned (push as far as it will go).
Important : make sure to run the drip tray into
position until it touches the base. Otherwise
water may run out below your machine from the
