Tips for using steam to froth milk

• When choosing the size of the

container, bear in mind that the liquid

doubles or triples in volume.

• For a richer denser froth, use

skimmed or partially skimmed milk

at refrigerator temperature (about

41°F/5°C).

• For a creamier froth, rotate the

container with slow movements in

an upward direction.

• To avoid milk with poor froth or large

bubbles, always clean the spout.

Delivering steam

Make sure the

hot water spout

is attached

correctly.

2. Fill a container

with the liquid

to be heated/

frothed and immerse the spout/

cappuccino maker in the liquid.

Press the button.

After a few seconds,

the steam to heat the liquid comes

out of the cappuccino maker.

When the required temperature/foam

is obtained, interrupt steam delivery by

pressing the

button again.

(You should not discharge steam for

more than 3 minutes at a time).

Important! Danger of burns.

Never leave the machine unsupervised while

delivering hot water or steam. The spout becomes

hot during delivery. Hold by the handle only.

Please note! If “Energy Saving” mode is enabled,

you may have to wait a few seconds before the
