How to make cappuccino

To prepare cappuccino, hot chocolate, or to heat other kinds of drink, press the right-hand side switch (S); the indicator light (T) will come on. When it, goes out, the machine is ready to produce steam. CAUTION: if small puffs of steam come out of the filter holder while you are waiting for the steam, this phenomenon is to be considered absolutely normal. At this point, place a cup or glass under the MAXI CAPPUCCINO attach- ment (D) and turn the steam supply knob (N) in an anti-clockwise direction (Fig. 5): at first a little water will come out immediately followed by a strong jet of steam. Turn knob (N) in a clockwise direction and place the jug of milk to be frothed under the MAXI CAPPUCCINO attachment. Next immerse the nozzle in the jug of milk and turn the steam supply knob (N) anti-clockwise once again until the desired volume of froth is achieved. During these opera- tions you may notice that the warning light (T) goes on and off from time to time, indicating that the boiler thermostat is keeping the water required for the steam supply at the right temperature. It is recommended that the steam supply knob is only used when this light goes out.

Allow the boiler to cool by switching off switch (S). If you want the boiler to cool down quicker, press switch (Q), at the same time keeping the tap (N) open, allowing water to come out of the MAXI CAPPUCCINO attachment until the indicator light (T) comes on again; then close the tap (N) and switch off switch (Q), wait until the indicator light (T) goes out before making another coffee.
