Delivering Steam
TIP! Although it is recommended to use a stainless steel pitcher to froth milk, porcelain or ceramic cups can also be used.
g)Immerse the frothing sleeve into the milk so that the tip and small side hole is just beneath the surface of the milk. Immersing the frothing sleeve deep into the milk will not allow the tiny bubbles to rise to the surface. It will heat the milk but it will not froth the milk. The frothing sleeve should not come into contact with the base of the milk pitcher while frothing.
Frothing Milk
Note: It is normal for the red heating light to illuminate while frothing. It is also normal for the pump to make ticking noises when making steam.
h) Turn the control dial to the left to the Steam/Hot Water position. The steaming process will start immediately.
i) Froth and steam the milk. j) To stop dispensing steam, turn the
control dial to the center position 0 and remove the pitcher.
k)Set the froth aside for a few moments to allow the froth to thicken further.
l)Spoon the frothy milk over the espresso and then fill the remainder of the cup with warmed milk.
