Cleaning the Frother Immediately, HOT Water Setting

13.CLEANING THE FROTHER IMMEDIATELY

If you clean the frother immediately after frothing, it will be faster and eas- ier than at a later time, when the milk has hardened around the tip.

a. Immediately after you stop steam- ing or frothing, set the milk pitcher aside and hold the bottom of the coffee scoop against the tip of the frother.

b. Turn the selector switch to the steam symbol for two seconds. Steam will come out of the small side holes.

c. Turn the selector switch back to the spout symbol. Repeat once or twice. This will push out any milk which might have accumulated in the frother.

d. Now move the cylinder up and wipe it clean with a small sponge or wet cloth.

Taking The Frother Apart Periodically take the frother apart and clean thoroughly.

•Loosen the tip of the frother with a coin and then unscrew the tip (see fig. 10a).

•Pull the tip out of the cylinder (see fig. 10b).

•Clean the steam hole and the two side holes. Make sure all holes are free of milk deposits. If hardened milk sits in these holes, use a tooth pick or a paper clip to push out the milk deposits.

•Replace the frother and screw on finger tight.

14. HOT WATER SETTING

When you turn the selector switch to the hot water setting (see fig. 12 a) and turn the pump button on, hot water will be released through the frother immediately. This feature can be used to make a quick cup of tea,

instant hot chocolate, cafe americano or simply get some hot water. When finished, turn off of the pump button first. Then turn the selector switch back to the spout symbol (fig. 12).

15.CARE AND MAINTENANCE Your Capresso "Ultima" requires less care than most traditional espresso pump machines. If you follow the in- structions below you will prolong the life of the machine for many years.

15.1REMOVING USED COFFEE The red indicator light (see fig. 1.1; #6c) will come on in the following situ- ations:

• When it is time to empty the used coffee container (fig. 1.3; #10c) or

•Whenever the tray is pulled out or not inserted properly.

a. Remove the tray (fig. 13) and remove the three loose parts (over flow indicator, grid and used coffee container).

b. Now empty and clean the used coffee container.

c. Remove any water from the tray and clean the tray.

d. Place all the parts back into the tray and insert tray back into the machine.

Now the red indicator light will turn off.

Caution: The red indicator light will not interrupt any operations of the ma- chine. Therefore, if you do not empty the used coffee container and con- tinue to make coffee beverages, used coffee will spill into the inner parts of the machine eventually blocking the carousel. Also, if the tray is not in- serted and you make coffee, water and used coffee will be discarded into the open area inside the machine creating a big mess!

Attention: The tray can only be pulled out when the coffee spout is moved all the way up (see fig. 13).
