The first step in making cappuccino is to

make espresso. Therefore, fill the water

reservoir with cold water. Never use warm

or hot water to fill the water reservoir.

Follow the steps in the “how to Brew

Espresso” section, Page 5.

Fill a small stainless steel or ceramic

pitcher ½ full with cold milk and set next

to machine. Skim or 2% milk will be the

easiest to froth.

you are now ready to froth and steam

your milk.

•

Press center control knob to power the

Espresso Maker.

•

Press the Froth Mode function button,

the Froth Mode light will come on and

the light ring will pulse during the

pre-heat and until it reaches the proper

temperature.

•

Once the light becomes solid, hold the

pitcher under the frothing tube (which

can be swiveled) so that the tip of the

frothing tube is slightly immersed in the

milk.

•

Rotate the control knob to the right,

clockwise, to the Froth position. This

will initiate the frothing process.

hold the pitcher for about 50 seconds

(for 4 oz. of milk) or longer if warmer

milk is desired.

rEMEMBEr:

The milk and the pitcher should

be very cold prior to frothing.

When the milk has doubled in volume, or

if you are using a beverage thermometer,

when the milk has reached 38°C (100°F),

insert the frothing tube deeper into the

milk so that the top of the frothing tube

cap is just under the surface of the milk.

This will draw the froth back through the

frothing tube cap, creating a finer textured

froth. Do not heat milk above 65°C (150°F).

To avoid splattering of hot milk, do not let

the tip of the frothing tube go above the

surface of the milk. After frothing is

completed, turn the control knob back

to the OFF position.

notE:

If you choose to run an espresso

brew cycle immediately after steaming milk

or turn unit off, it is normal for the motor to

run briefly and some steam to appear from

the drip tray.

you are now ready to make cappuccino.

REMEMBER:

It is ¹/³ espresso, ¹/³ steamed milk

and ¹/³ frothed milk (both steamed and

frothed milk are in the same pitcher). Pour

the espresso into a cup, which has a capacity

of at least 150 ml (5 ounces). Then add the

steamed milk to the espresso and spoon

on the frothed milk.

When you are finished steaming milk,

follow the care and cleaning steps to flush

out any residual milk from the frothing

tube. It is important to properly clean

your frothing tube and wash its cap after

each use to ensure it continues to work

properly.

Unplug the power cord and allow the

machine to cool.

Care & Cleaning:

Caution:

Do not immerse appliance in

liquids.

Turn the knob to the OFF position , and

unplug the power cord from the electrical

outlet.

The frothing tube may still be hot. Do

not touch it with your hands until it has

cooled. Remove and wash the frothing

tube cap and wipe frothing tube with a

damp cloth. Using the wrench built into

the measuring spoon/tamper, use the

hole in the handle as a wrench to loosen

the frothing tube tip, then clean the

frothing tip tube valve with running water

and with a needle or toothpick if needed

to clear debris. Let air dry, then replace

tube tip back on to frothing arm and

replace tube cap.

The water reservoir, filters, drip tray and

drip grid can be washed with soapy water

or placed in the top rack of your

dishwasher (avoid washing the filter

holder in your dishwasher).

Discard the remaining water by removing

the reservoir and turning it upside down

over the sink. It is recommended to empty

the water reservoir between uses and use

fresh water for each brew. Do not

immerse appliance in water.

Wipe housing with a soft wet cloth. Do

not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads,

as they will scratch the finish.

Do not store the filter holder in the brew

head. This can adversely affect the seal

between the brew head and the filter

holder while brewing espresso.

As needed, remove drip tray & grid and

pour out any liquid collected during

usage. Wipe out and/or wash as

necessary and replace into unit before

using.
