Use a deep metal container, preferably of small
diameter. Fill the container with milk. We suggest you use semi-skimmed
milk at refrigerator temperature.
NOTE: Do not fill to more than 1/3, otherwise the milk may overflow when it
boils. You should fill the container with approximately 3 fluid ounces of milk
for each cappuccino.
Make sure that the cappuccino nozzle is attached to the swivel jet frother.
Switch the machine ON by pressing the ON/OFF switch. Then press the
steam switch. After about 3 minutes the OK indicator light will illuminate
indicating that the machine has reached the correct temperature for
generating steam.
Immerse the swivel jet frother in the milk and then slowly turn the steam
control knob counterclockwise. Adjust the position of the knob to regulate
the quantity of steam delivered by the swivel jet frother.
When using the steam function, a few drops of water
may escape from the swivel jet frother. This is
completely normal. However, care should be taken to
avoid scalding.
Immerse the swivel jet frother into the milk down to the
mark on the cappuccino nozzle. (Figure 6)
Close the steam control knob (by turning it clockwise)
after preparation of cappuccino is completed.
NOTE: Immediately after use, unscrew and rinse the
cappuccino nozzle to remove any milk deposit. From
time to time, use a pin to clean the holes in the
cappuccino nozzle.
