Dispensing steam to froth or heat up liquids
1. Fill a suitable ideally stainless steel pitcher (used for food only) with an
insulated grip with the liquid to be heated up or frothed.
2. Position the steam nozzle of the steam wand (Fig. A-2) inside the liquid in the
recipient just below the surface of the liquid. To avoid personal injury always
ensure that the end nozzle of the steam pipe (Fig. A-2) is below the surface of
the liquid to be steamed.
3. Turn on steam valve (Fig. A-1).
4. Heat up or froth the liquid inside the pitcher.
Pay attention to hot sprays! They may cause injuries.
5. When you’re done, close the steam valve (Fig. A-1).
Clean the steam wand (Fig. A-2) and the steam wand’s end nozzle carefully with
a non abrasive damp cloth after each single use without touching it directly with
any part of the body to avoid injury or damage due to the hot surface of steam
wand end nozzle.
Caution: Hot surface.
Example: Steaming milk
1. Use a clean, cold pitcher and fill 1/3 with cold, fresh milk.
If milk has previously been steamed and stored in the refrigerator, we suggest
adding some fresh milk in order to achieve optimum foam. Milk should be
stored at a temperature around 4-5°C (app. 40°F).
2. Insert steam nozzle (fig. A-2) into the centre milk just below the surface of the
milk.
3. Open steam valve (fig. A-1) rapidly.
4. Steam will come out of the nozzle and froth the milk. The milk volume will
increase rapidly. Please lower the pitcher progressively to make sure that the
steam nozzle is always right below the surface of the milk.
