PREPARING A CAPPUCCINO - CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
8 STEAM DISPENSING / PREPARING A CAP-
PUCCINO
Steam may be used to froth milk for cappuccinos, lattes
or other beverages.
Danger of scalding! At the beginning, short
spurts of hot water may come out. The steam
wand may reach high temperatures: Never touch it
with bare hands.
• (Fig.13) - When the machine is ready to brew coffee,
press the steam button (16). The machine requires
a preheating time. An orange icon will appear on the
display:
• Steam can be dispensed when this green icon is
displayed:
Note: When this icon appears, coffee can be
brewed following the procedure described
in section 6.
• (Fig.7 - Fig.8) - Place a container beneath the hot
water/steam wand (Pannarello) (7) and open the hot
water/steam knob (10) for a few seconds so as to let
the residual water come out of the wand. After a brief
moment, a steady jet of steam will come out of the
wand.
• Close the steam knob (10).
• Fill a cup or frothing pitcher 1/3 full with cold milk.
Use cold milk for better results when prepar-
ing a cappuccino.
• (Fig.14) - Immerse the steam wand (Pannarello) in
the milk to be heated and open the knob (10). Move
the container gently up and down to evenly distribute
the steam in the milk and level the foam formation.
• After using the steam for the desired time, close the
steam knob (10).
After using the steam wand (Pannarello frother), wash
it as described in the "Cleaning and Maintenance" sec-
tion.
When the frothed milk is ready, follow the
procedure described in section 6 to brew
coffee.
When not in use, the machine automatically
reaches the temperature needed to brew cof-
fee to save energy.
