•Place a cup underneath the frother (Fig. 13).
•Turn the Steam/Water Selector to the water symbol (Fig. 4b). Hot water will push through the frother. The display shows the amount of hot water. You can change it from 1 to 16 oz. by turning the Dial (Fig. 3a). The machine remembers the last setting. When the water flow stops, display shows CLOSE TAP.
•Turn the Steam/Water Selector back to the cup symbol. READY. Please note: You can always stop the flow of hot water by turning the dial to the cup symbol.
13. FROTHING and STEAMING
The steam function can be used to heat up any liquid and to steam and froth milk.
Steaming Position:
The Frother's metal cylinder is in the UP position (Fig. 16). In the steaming position hot steam is injected into the milk (or any other liquid) without creating a frothy layer on top.
Typically a Latte has steamed milk with no froth.
Frothing Position:
The Frother's metal cylinder is in the DOWN position (Fig. 16). In the frothing position hot steam and air is injected into the milk creating warm milk and a firm layer of tiny froth bubbles.
14. HEATING AND FROTHING MILK
READY – HEATING - STEAM READY - 60 SEC - CLOSE TAP
•Push the Steam button (Fig. 3h). Display shows HEATING.
•Add cold milk to a pitcher or a cup.
•After 15 to 30 seconds the display shows STEAM READY.
•Immerse the tip of the frother into the milk (Fig. 17,18) and turn the Selector to the Steam/Water Symbol (Fig. 4b). Hot
steam will be injected into the milk. The display shows how long steam will be forced through the frother, 60 SEC.
•At this time you can change the steam output from 3 and 120 seconds. The machine will remember your last setting. When the selected steam time is up, the display shows CLOSE TAP.
•Turn the Selector to the cup symbol (Fig. 4a).
Please note: You can always stop the steam output by turning the Steam/Water Selector to the cup symbol.
Please note: When you stop the steam output the display will show READY. If you want to repeat the steam function, first push the steam button (Fig. 3h). Since the Thermoblock is still very hot, STEAM READY will appear instantly. If you do not push the steam button first, the F7 will start pumping hot water through the frother.
Please note: When you start steaming, some hot water will push out of the nozzle before the steam begins. When frothing a lot of milk this will not change the taste of your frothed milk. You can also release this small amount of hot water into the tray or into a separate container as follows:
•Turn the Steam/Water Selector to the Water Symbol for one second and then back to the Cup symbol. Now push the steam button (3h) and start frothing/steaming.
Tips for frothing (Cappuccino):
The tip of the frother should not touch the bottom of your pitcher. Start in the steaming position – cylinder "up" (Fig. 16) – for a few seconds. Then push the cylinder "down". Milk froth will build up. This way the froth on top of your milk is also warm. If the frothed milk is not warm enough, continue in the steaming position.
