Tips for using steam to froth milk
• When choosing the size of the
container, bear in mind that the liquid
doubles or triples in volume.
• For a richer denser froth, use
skimmed or partially skimmed milk
at refrigerator temperature (about
41F/5°C).
• For a creamier froth, rotate the
container with slow movements in
an upward direction.
• To avoid milk with poor froth or large
bubbles, always clean the spout.

Measuring Water Hardness

1. Remove the "total hardness test" indicator paper attached to this manual
from its pack.
2. Immerse the paper completely in a glass of water for one second.
3. Remove the paper from the water and shake lightly. After about a minute,
1,2,3, or 4 red squares form, depending on the hardness of the water.
Each square corresponds to one level.
