Tips for using steam to froth milk

•When choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that the liquid doubles or triples in volume.

•For a richer denser froth, use skimmed or partially skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature (about 5°C).

•For a creamier froth, rotate the container with slow movements in an upward direction.

•To avoid milk with poor froth or large bubbles, always clean the spout as described in the following section.

Cleaning the spout after use

Always clean the spout after use to avoid the build-up of milk residues and prevent the spout from clogging.

1. Place a container under the cappuccino maker and press

the button to deliver a little water (fig. 3).

Stop the flow of water by pressing the button again.

2.Wait a few minutes for the cappuccino maker to cool down, then extract the hot water spout.

Hold the spout with one hand by pressing the button and with the other, turn the cappuccino maker anticlockwise (fig. 24) and pull it downwards to remove it.

3.Also remove the steam nozzle by pulling it downwards (fig. 25).

4.Check the hole shown by the arrow in fig. 25 is not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.

5.Wash all parts of the cappuccino maker thoroughly with a sponge and warm water.

6.Reinsert the nozzle and replace the cappuccino maker on the nozzle, turning it and pushing it upwards until it is attached.
