HOW TO FROTH MILK FOR A CAPPUCCINO OR LATTÉ
A cappuccino is an espresso topped with steamed and frothed milk (1⁄3 espresso,
1⁄3 steamed milk, 1⁄3 frothed milk), traditionally served luke warm in a cup.
A latte is an espresso topped with steamed and frothed milk (1⁄3 espresso, topped with steamed milk and about 10cm of frothed milk), traditionally served in a glass wrapped with a serviette.
•The first step in making a cappuccino/latte is to make a short espresso (Follow steps in ‘How to make an Espresso’).
•Fill the frothing jug 1/3 full with cold milk (skim milk is the easiest to froth).
•Hold the frothing jug below the froth enhancer. Immerse the froth enhancer 10mm into the milk and rotate the Selector Control to the ‘STEAM’ position 
. Gently move the frothing jug in a circular motion around the froth enhancer.
•When the milk begins to increase in volume, immerse the froth enhancer deeper into the milk to further heat the milk. Do not allow the milk to boil.
•Turn the Selector Control to the ‘STANDBY’ position to stop the steaming function before removing the jug.
•Add the steamed milk to each cup of freshly brewed espresso coffee and spoon on the frothed milk.
•Switch the power off at the power outlet, unplug the power cord, remove all steam pressure and allow the appliance to cool.
•Do not remove the water tank cap or the filter holder until the steam pressure in the appliance has been released. The Pressure Indicator Button should drop down and be flush with the top of the water tank cap.
HOW TO RELEASE THE
STEAM PRESSURE
•Switch the power off at the power outlet and unplug the power cord.
•Place the frothing jug under the steam nozzle.
•Turn the selector control to the ‘STEAM’ position 
and allow all steam and residual water to completely drain off into the jug until all flow and sound ceases. The steam pressure is now removed.
•Turn the selector control to the ‘BREW’ position 
to ensure steam pressure is removed, then turn back to the ‘STANDBY’ position.
•The Pressure Indicator Button should drop down and be flush with the top of the water tank cap. (See Fig.5)

•After the steam pressure has been released, remove the filter holder from the brew head. Using the filter retainer clip to secure the filter in the filter holder, turn the filter holder upside down to empty used coffee (used coffee grounds should be thrown away with domestic waste and not down the sink which may block drains). Rinse the filter and filter holder with water and allow to dry.
THE METAL PARTS OF THE FILTER HOLDER MIGHT STILL BE VERY HOT. COOL DOWN THESE PARTS BY RUNNING UNDER COLD WATER.
TO AVOID SPLATTERING OF HOT MILK, DO NOT LIFT THE STEAMING NOZZLE ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE MILK WHILE FROTHING.
ENSURE THE SELECTOR CONTROL IS IN THE ‘STANDBY’ POSITION
10BEFORE REMOVING THE FROTHING JUG.
TO AVOID POSSIBLE BURNS FROM HOT STEAM AND WATER, NEVER REMOVE THE WATER TANK CAP OR THE FILTER HOLDER WHILE THERE IS STEAM PRESSURE IN THE WATER TANK. REMOVE ALL STEAM PRESSURE FIRST.
NEVER LET COFFEE OR WATER LEVEL IN A CUP REACH THE POURING |
