HOW TO TEXTuRE MILK FOR A CAppuCCINO OR LATTÉ (continued)
The Die Cast Programmable Espresso
Machine comes complete with a
Commercial Style Swivel Steam Wand
and Stainless Steel Frothing Attachment.
When using the frothing attachment on
the steam wand a large amount of froth is
easily created.
If less texture is required, remove the
frothing attachment from the steam wand
and steam the milk using the steam
wand. To remove the frothing attachment,
ensure it is cool then simply pull down
and remove. The frothing attachment can
be stored in the storage tray inside the
machine if not used regularly.
To refit the frothing attachment ensure it is
securely attached to the steam wand by
inserting it, from either opening, onto the
steam wand and pushing firmly upwards
onto the rubber surround. Ensure the fine
steam holes on either end of the frothing
attachment are clean to achieve optimal
texturing.
Press the POWER button.
The first step in making a cappuccino
or latté is to make a short espresso.
Refer to ‘Operating your Espresso
Machine’, pages 14-16.
Then fill the stainless steel frothing jug
13 full with cold, fresh milk.
Turn the Selector Control to the ‘Steam’
position. The white steam light will start
to flash indicating that the Thermoblock
Heating System is heating and preparing
to create steam.
For improved results, purge the steam
wand of water before placing into the
milk.
NOTE: When the e spresso machi ne
creates steam, a p umping noise
can be heard. Thi s is the normal
operation of th e 15 Bar pump.
When the steam light stops flashing,
quickly insert the steam wand into the
jug of milk so that the froth attachment is
just immersed into the milk.
NOTE: If steam st arts coming f rom the
steam wand befor e it is immersed
in the milk, paus e the steam by
turning the Se lector Control b ack
to the ‘Standby ’ position. Thi s will
avoid the steam pr essure blowing
milk out of the jug.
