Steam

The X4 can generate steam or hot water for the preparation of cappuccino or tea. In order to generate steam, the TEMPERATURE must appear on the display. Press the steam button (4).

The cup symbol will disappear from the display and the steam symbol will appear. The machine will now automatically increase its operating temperature. The machine is ready when the steam symbol ceases to flash.

Turn the steam knob (12) in an anti-clockwise direction to regulate the exit of steam.

Press the steam button (4) once again to switch off the STEAM function.

Hot water

To make hot water, the TEMPERATURE must appear on the display. After the cup symbol has ceased flashing, turn the steam knob in an anti-clockwise direction while keeping button (3) depressed. Hot water will now flow out of the nozzle. Do not forget to close the steam knob after you have released the button (3).

CAUTION: the nozzle (8) is extremely hot during steam exit.

Preparing one or several cappuccinos

IMPORTANT: PLEASE FOLLOW THE DESCRIBED INSTRUCTIONS AND SEQUENCE EXACTLY!

Be sure to make the coffee for your cappuccino first, before steaming the milk. (After steaming, the machine will be too hot and you’ll have to wait for the temperature to return to the coffee range). Activate the machine by pressing button (2). Once the required operating temperature has been reached you may prepare one or more coffees.

1The machine can now be prepared for steam by pressing the steam button (4). Wait until the required temperature has been reached. Turn the steam wheel (12) slightly in an anti-clockwise direction and allow any residual water to exit the nozzle

(8) until steam starts to exit. Now close the steam knob (12).

2Place a container of milk under the steam exit nozzle (8) and immerse this slightly into the milk. Now open the steam wheel (12) to obtain the required steam.

A small opening above the nozzle enables a small amount of air to be drawn in, which then mixes with the milk causing the required frothiness for a cappuccino. If this does not take place, lower the position of the container so that the air intake opening (8) is not covered by milk. We recommend that very cold milk is used. If, after the preparation of one or more cappuccinos, you want to make another coffee, it will be necessary to re-set the machine to coffee by pressing the button (4), open the steam knob until the temperature goes down to 100, and wait until the cup symbol ceases to illuminate. Next, close the steam wheel. The machine is now ready to prepare the next coffee. NB: when the next coffee

is made, the water quantity may be slightly less25 than that for the previously prepared coffee.
