Frothing and steaming milk requires a bit of practice, but you’ll be
surprised how quickly your skills will develop. The PRO LINE™
Series Espresso Machine gives you all the tools you need: an 8
1 ⁄
2
ounce stainless steel pitcher shaped especially for frothing, a
frothing arm that adjusts horizontally and vertically for a
comfortable working position, a frothing nozzle designed to
enhance frothing, and a Steam Dial that lets you precisely control
the volume of frothing steam.
1. Press the On/Off Power Switch to turn the espresso machine on.
2. Wait until the espresso machine has reached operating
temperature; this will take approximately 6 minutes. When the
frothing boiler temperature gauge needle climbs into the
“ready” zone, the espresso machine is ready to froth.
3. Fill the frothing pitcher 1 ⁄
3
full with cold milk.
4. With the frothing arm pointed into an empty cup, open the
Steam Dial for a moment to purge excess water from the line.
To open the Steam Dial, turn it slowly counter-clockwise; to
close the Steam Dial, rotate it clockwise until it stops.
5. With the Steam Dial closed, adjust the frothing arm so it’s in a
comfortable working position, and submerse the tip of the frothing
nozzle just below the surface of the milk in the frothing pitcher.
