ensure the steam nozzle is immersed
in the milk, and then carefully turn
the steam control knob in an anti-
clockwise direction for it to begin
frothing milk (Fig. 17). When satisfied
with the frothed milk then turn off
the steam control knob to stop
producing steam. If there is excess
water in the boiler unit, more steam
can be generated or espresso can
be made.
Note 1: Bear in mind that the milk
generally increases in volume by 1.5
times, so make sure the height of the
cup is enough.
Note 2: to get a better effect, move the
cup constantly up and down. This
spreads the temperature throughout
the milk faster.
2. Mix espresso coffee with frothed milk
and stir, add chocolate powder if
necessary.
3. It is necessary to clean the steam
nozzle once you have finished using
the coffee maker, so that the dry
milk doesn’t block the steam outlet.
In order to do this, grasp the nozzle
with your hand and secure the pipe
with your other hand. Now pull the
steam nozzle off (Fig. 18). Wash it
with warm water to clean off any milk
residue. After cleaning, reassemble it
back into its original position.
Caution: The steam nozzle will be hot
after steaming, so we advise
that you allow it to cool down
before cleaning or touching it.
Note: to prepare more than one
cappuccino, first make all the coffees
and then at the end prepare the
frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE:
1. Unplug the coffee maker from
the wall socket and let the coffee
maker cool down completely before
cleaning.
2. Clean the housing of coffee maker
by wiping it with a moist cloth or
sponge. Do not use alcohol or
abrasive cleaning agents as it might
cause damage to the coffee maker.
Note: Never immerse the housing in
water for cleaning.
3. Remove the filter holder, clean the
coffee residue inside, and then
you can clean it and the filter with
dishwashing liquid. Be sure to rinse
with clear water.
4. Clean the glass jugs, permanent filter,
and drip tray (Fig. 19) in warm water
with some dishwashing detergent.
HOW TO DESCALE MY COFFEE
MAKER
The coffee maker must be de-scaled
regularly. The frequency depends on
the hardness of your water and how
often you use the coffee maker.
Recognisable indications that de-scaling
is necessary are:
• Increased noise during boiling
• Longer preparation time
If usage is frequent, de-scaling should
be carried out as follows:
• With soft water, once per year
• With medium water, once every
3 months
• With hard water, once per month
If in doubt regarding the water
hardness in your area, you may
call your local water department.
For ecological and health
reasons, we recommend the
exclusive use of biological
materials such as citric acid,
which can be obtained from
pharmacies.
