FROTHING THE MILK: HINTS & TIPS
1 }
Keep the heat on HIGH during the frothing process. For
best result use a 500ML stainless steel jug with a handle, such
jugs can be found at speciality coffee and homeware stores.
Half
fill
the jug with milk.
2}
Milk should be kept in the fridge prior to use, and be as
cold as possible- this helps produce a rich, creamy froth.
Homogenised or day old milk works best, and the higher the
cream content- the denser the foam.
3)
When frothing milk always immerse the end part of the
Steam Tube Nozzle deeply into the milk before opening the
Red Steam Valve. Open the valve several full turns. As the
steam comes out strongly begin to gently raise and lower
the jug so that the Steam Nozzle tip goes in and out of the
surface of the milk. Keep the Nozzle near the surface as you
move it in and out. This will produce a noticeable aerating
sound as air is sucked into the milk, and will produce rich
foam. At this point you can
control
the power of the steam
by adjusting the red knob to the desired level. Don
I
t be
afraid to use high pressure. Gradually lower the jug as the
level of the milk rises with froth but continue the gentle up
and down movement as you go.
4)
Once you have enough froth push the nozzle to near
the bottom of the Jug -feel the base of the Jug with your
hand to determine the temperature of the milk. When
the nozzle is deep within the milk it will heat it- but not
create froth. Turn off the Red steam Knob when the milk
is sufficiently warm. Remember: the idea is to warm the milk
NOT to boil it.
CAUTION:
Steam is very hot- Always take care when
operating the steam valve!
CLEANING AFTER USE...
YES, DO IT NOW!
Cleaning your Machine is very easy! In general only those
parts of the unit that are in contact with coffee or milk
require cleaning. Never leave stale water and coffee inside!
Cleaning immediately after use is easiest and will prolong the
life of the Machine ensuring it performs perfectly for years
to come.
Never use abrasive
materials,
harsh chemicals or a
Dishwasher
for cleaning this unit or you may damage it!
Dishwashers and abrasives mark the polished surfaces and
Bakelite parts. Such products are NOT required.
1)
Firstly: Wipe the Steam Tube with a soft damp cloth.
Left over steam should be released to expel any milk from the
Steam
Nozzle.
TAKE CARE
-
steam is very hot and can scald
you.
2)
After the Machine has cooled unscrew the Black Knob
and empty the remaining water.
3)
Using your soft cloth wipe down the Machine to remove
any milk or coffee residue from the exterior surfaces.
4)
Wash out the Coffee Holder, Coffee Jug and Filter Basket.
The filter plate in the Machine Head can also be rinsed with
water.
Do no
t
immerse the machine in water!
5)
Storage: Empty all water from the Machine. Leave the
Red Knob open and place the Filter Basket/s, Coffee Handle
and Black Knob inside the Coffee Jug.
The Machine should
NEVER be stored with the Black Knob attached.
Always empty
the boiler completely and store the unit dry. If it is to be
stored for an extended period a piece of cloth or tissue can
be placed in the water-filling hole to keep out
dust,
etc. whilst
allowing the Machine to dry completely.
Water trapped inside the Machine for extended periods can
cause damage to the unit!
