9 DISPENSING STEAM/MAKING
CAPPUCCINO
The steam may be used to froth milk for cappuccino
and to heat other beverages.
Danger of scalding! Dispensing may be
preceded by brief sprays of hot water. The
dispensing tube can reach very high temperatures:
avoid touching it directly with your hands.
• Before dispensing steam, make sure that the
temperature ready LED (24) remains steadily lit.
The machine will be immediately ready to dispense
steam.
• Position the steam tube (15) over the drip tray and
open the “hot water/steam” knob (17) for a few
seconds to discharge residual water from the steam
tube; soon only steam will issue from the tube.
• Close the knob (17).
• Fill the receptacle you want to use for making
cappuccino 1/3 of the way with cold milk.
To ensure best results when making
cappuccino, make sure both the milk and
receptacle are cold.
• Place the tip of the steam tube in the milk to
be heated and open the knob (17); slowly raise
the receptacle, with gentle rotating movements, to
obtain an even layer of foam.
• After dispensing the amount of steam desired, close
the knob (17).
• The same procedure may be used to heat other
beverages.
After this operation, wipe the steam tube clean with
a damp cloth.
You can immediately brew coffee into the freshly frothed
milk to prepare a real Italian-style cappuccino.
