filling and attaching the milk container

1. Remove the lid (fig. 18);
2. Fill the milk container with a sufficient quantity of milk,
not exceeding the MAX level marked on the container (fig.
19). Each mark on the side of the container corresponds
to 3.4 oz / 100 ml of milk.
Please note!
• For a denser more even froth, you should use skimmed or
partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about
5°C).
• If "Energy Saving" mode is enabled, you may have to wait
a few seconds before the first drink is delivered.
3. Make sure the milk intake tube is correctly inserted in the
bottom of the milk container lid (fig. 20).
4. Place the lid back on the milk container.
5. Remove the hot water spout from the nozzle.
6. Attach the container to the nozzle and push as far as it
will go (fig. 21). The machine emits a beep (if the beep
function is enabled).
7. Place a sufficiently large cup under the coffee and frothed
milk spouts. Adjust the length of the milk spout. To move
it nearer the cup, simply pull it downwards (fig. 22).

The name of the drink selected is displayed together
with a progress bar which gradually fills as preparation
progresses.
4. After a few seconds, frothed milk is delivered from the
milk spout into the cup below. For drinks with coffee, the
machine automatically makes the coffee after delivering
the milk.
Please note!

corresponding button.

coffee in the cup, just press (within 3 seconds) the button
corresponding to the drink being made.

for long periods. The warmer the milk (5°C is ideal), the
poorer the quality of froth produced.
