Using the control panel (continued)
Steam
The steam function allows the coffee maker to produce steam out of the steam wand for texturing milk.
To activate the steam function, the coffee maker simply needs to press the ‘STEAM’ button. By design the temperature of the espresso machine will adjust as necessary. There may be a short delay while you wait.
Note: When the coffee maker has activated the steam function the light behind the ‘STEAM’ button will show a constant green light and the light behind the ‘COFFEE’ and ‘HOT WATER’ buttons will go off. Additionally the light behind the ‘POWER’ button will remain on.
The coffee maker simply needs to turn the steam and hot water control dial anti- clockwise to the ‘MAX’ setting to start and turn it back to the ‘OFF’ position to stop. Press the 'STEAM' button again to deactivate the steam function.
MAX
OPEN
Note: If the light behind the ‘STEAM’ button is flashing it means the espresso machine is adjusting the temperature of the heating system. You will be able to use the steam while it is heating up but this is not advised as the steam will be wetter than if the machine is fully heated up.
Once the espresso machine is heated to the correct temperature, so the light behind the ‘STEAM’ button stops flashing and shows a constant green light, the coffee maker is able to use the espresso machine.
OFF
Note: When you have finished steaming, ensure the steam control dial is fully turned off. If the steam control dial is left open, the coffee maker will not be able to switch to the ‘COFFEE’ or ‘HOT WATER’ functions.
Note: After 10 minutes of inactivity in the steam mode, the espresso machine will automatically switch back to the ready mode.
