STEAM DISPENSING /
PREPARING A CAPPUC
CINO
Steam may be used to froth milk for a
cappuccino, as well as to reheat other
beverages.
Danger of scalding! Dispens-
ing may be preceded by small
jets of hot water. The steam wand
may reach high temperatures. Do not
touch it directly with bare hands.
Important Note: Imediately
after using the steam to froth
the milk, clean the steam wand (or
Pannarello when provided). When
the machine is ready, brew a small
amount of hot water in a glass and
clean the steam wand (or Pannarello
when provided) externally. In this
way, all parts will be perfectly cleaned
and free of any milk residue.
To prepare your cappuccino,
we recommend discharging
the water in the steam wand.
