Capresso EC5O Cleaning the Frothing Sleeve and Steam Wand, Preparing Latte, Turning OFF the EC50

Page 8

Note: To increase the temperature of the frothed milk, stop the frothing action, set the pitcher aside and pull off the black frother sleeve. Now insert the frothing wand into the milk again and continue steaming. The milk will get hotter without any additional frothing action.

Note: You can also first froth the milk directly inside your cappuccino cup

and then add a shot of espresso: Prepare the portafilter and insert into the machine. Then froth the milk inside the cappuccino cup (steps c to e) above. Now move the cup with the frothed milk under the portafilter and add the shot of espresso. This way you don’t waste any milk.

9. Cleaning the Frothing Sleeve and Steam Wand

It is extremely easy to clean the frothing system of the EC50, especially if it is done right after frothing milk.

Note: Clean immediately after use.

Pull the black frothing sleeve down and off the steam wand and clean under warm running water.

Fill a cup with a bit of water and immerse the steam wand of the frother.

Turn the Selector Dial to the steam symbol and let steam push into the water for a few seconds.

Return the Selector Dial to the middle position.

Replace the black frothing sleeve.

Caution: the frothing wand may be hot!

Note: If no steam comes out of the steam wand, hardened milk blocks its path. Turn the Selector Dial to the middle position. Carefully use a needle to loosen the milk residue. Then steam again.

10. Preparing Latte

Latte is the combination of one or two shots of espresso with an equal or larger amount of hot steamed milk without or very little froth.

Note: Without the black frothing sleeve, the steam wand will steam, not froth the milk.

Remove the black frothing sleeve. Then proceed with steaming and espresso as explained in chapter 8.

Caution: the steam wand might be hot.

11. Turning OFF the EC50

After making the last coffee wait for approx. 15 seconds so that the thermo block can release any steam and rest-water into the tray. This is perfectly normal.

Now push the On/Off button to turn off the machine. The indicator light is off.

Note: When not in use remove the Portafilter. This will extend the life of the seal inside the brew head.

12. Cleaning & Maintenance

Always disconnect the plug from the wall outlet and allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning.

Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid.

Do not use harsh abrasives to clean. Wipe down the appliance housing with a damp cloth.
