3To avoid any residual water mixing in with the milk when frothing, the water should be drained off beforehand. To do this, place a container under the steam nozzle and turn the knob for steam and hot water (Fig. 9) to position until steam emission starts. Then turn the knob back to position .

0Pour low-fat, cold milk into a mug which must be small enough to fit under the steam nozzle.

3The milk should be cold. You should also use a cold mug, preferably a stain- less steel one, which should not be rinsed beforehand in hot water.

0Swing out the steam nozzle and hold the mug under the steam nozzle so that the nozzle opening is just immersed in the milk (Fig. 25).

1Attention! Risk of impurities from dried on milk residues in the steam nozzle. Take care not to immerse the steam nozzle in the milk far enough to cover the air intake opening at the top of the steam nozzle. Otherwise milk can be sucked into the nozzle and cause impurities in the steam nozzle.

0Turn the knob for steam and hot water

(Fig. 9) to the position . The display shows the steam process («STEAM»). The milk is frothed.

3To obtain a creamier froth, slowly move the container upwards. Froth the milk to at least twice its volume.

3You should not discharge steam for more than two minutes at a time.

0To end the frothing, turn the knob for steam and hot water (Fig. 9) to the position and then remove the mug.

The display once again indicates readi- ness for steaming ( «STEAM -

TURN KNOB FOR STEAM».

1Caution! Danger of scalding from hot milk spray! Switch the steam off before removing the mug with the frothed milk.

0Exit the steam mode by pressing the "Steam" key (Fig. 24) or wait approx.

120 sec. for the machine to automati-

cally return to the coffee mode; the display shows «PLEASE WAIT…».

Now the machine is once again ready for making coffee; the last selected coffee setting is shown in the display.

0Each time you have frothed milk, let off some hot water through the nozzle for a short time by turning the knob for steam and hot water (Fig. 6) to the position.

This is necessary to prevent milk resi- dues drying inside the nozzle, and thereby blocking it. Use a suitable con-

tainer to catch the water. During this process the display shows «HOT WATER».

0Then return the knob to the position

; the last selected coffee setting is shown in the display.

10.1Cleaning the steam nozzle

Important: To guarantee hygiene, you are recommended to follow this proce- dure each time you make frothed milk, to avoid milk stagnating in the nozzle.

0Turn the knob for steam and hot water clockwise as far as it will go to the position . Wait a couple of minutes for the steam nozzle to cool down.

0Then with one hand hold the swivel pipe handle firm and with the other disengage the bayonet connection of the steam nozzle by turning it slightly clockwise. Remove the steam nozzle by pulling it downwards (Fig. 26).

0Remove the inner part of the steam nozzle from the swivel pipe by pulling it downwards.

0Carefully wash the steam nozzle and the inner part in warm water.

0Make sure the two holes shown in fig. 27 are not blocked. If necessary, pierce them with a pin and clean them.

0Replace the inner part by pushing it slightly upwards onto the swivel pipe.

0Replace the steam nozzle by pushing it upwards and turning it anticlockwise.
