Hamilton Beach Cappuccino Plus - Manual (Page 7)

For making cappuccinos, lattes, and
other beverages.
1. Ensure that there is water in the
water reservoir and that the
frothing nozzle is rotated to the
left of unit.
2. Turn the steam control dial to the
lowest setting (clockwise until fully
stopped). Ensure that the espresso
button is OFF and the power
(On/Off) button is ON.
3. Depress the steam button once.
The steam indicator light will
glow green and the Temperature/
Ready light will glow red. When the
Temperature/Ready light turns off,
the water is hot enough to steam or
froth milk.
4. Fill a metal or ceramic cup 1 ⁄
3
full
with cold milk. Skim milk and a
stainless steel cup are
recommended.
To Steam/Heat Milk:
Insert the nozzle into the cup,
leaving
1 ⁄
4
to 1 ⁄
2
inch of space
between the nozzle and the bottom
of the cup. The milk is steamed
when the cup becomes warm to
the touch.
To Froth Milk:
A cold cup is recommended. Insert
nozzle into cup to cover only
1 ⁄
2
to
1 ⁄
3
of the nozzle. Rotate the steam
control dial counterclockwise 3 ⁄
4
to
a full turn. Hold cup under frothing
nozzle until desired consistency is
reached. Froth should be stiff and
stick to the spoon when scooped.
WARNING: To reduce risk of per-
sonal injury:
• Use caution when dispensing hot
steam.
• Care must be taken after each
use because frothing nozzle, filter
holder, ground espresso filter or
pod filter, and brew head will be
hot.
5. Turn the steam control dial OFF
(clockwise). Remove cup from
under the nozzle.
6. Always clean the frothing nozzle
after each use to prevent buildup.
See “Cleaning” instructions below.
7. Press the steam button once to
turn steam off. Press ON/OFF
button once to turn unit off.
NOTE: During this operation, a
small quantity of water or steam
may come out from the filter holder
or the frothing nozzle; this is normal
due to evaporation to reach the
right temperature to make a creamy
cappuccino.
CAUTION: Vapor and water
emitted from frothing nozzle are
hot.
