Attention! Do not remove or turn the
filter holder while the water is passing
through as the appliance is at high
pressure at this moment.

consistency if the filter holder is
removed within one to minutes after
brewing.

b e b e t w e e n 8 0 º C / 1 8 0 º F a n d
110ºC/230ºF for coffee, and higher than

to open, releasing
the water inside until it drips
intermittently. Turn side knob

again
to close and wait approximately 40-
50 seconds before placing the steam
nozzle in the milk jug, then turn side
knob
4
again to open and release
the steam.
4-.Place the tube
5
into the milk to
heat it, so that the milk covers exactly
half the absorption hole (never coverit
completely ). Do this for the whole
process (see picture 7).
5.-Liquid is absorbed through the hole
and cream forms automatically.
The recipient should be lowered
gradually while the milk emulsifies.
6.-Turn the hot water/steam knob
4
to
closed position, and turn off thesteam
switch
3
.
If you want a creamy cappuccino, use
cold, fresh, full-fat whole milk.
If you want hot milk (without emulsifying)
the hole must be completely covered.
For obtaining micro-foam, you should
keep the absorption hole in the same
position.
Important
We recommend running steam
through the wand for a few seconds
(5'') after each use to clean and
prevent clogging.
To clean the absorption holes (A and
B), you can use a toothpick or a
paperclip. This will ensure the tube
is free of blockages. Hole B always
on the top (see picture 7)
After steaming milk, the steam has
to be purged before brewing (picture
2B)
