DeLonghi ESAM3300 manual Preparing Cappuccinos Using Steam

9 PREPARING CAPPUCCINOS (USING STEAM)

•Move the cappuccino frother outwards (fig. 3).

•Place an empty container under the cappuccino frother (fig. 3). Turn the steam knob a half turn counter-clockwise as far as it will go (the light flashes fig. 22). Run off the steam mixed with water for a few seconds until only steam is given off.

•Then interrupt steam delivery by rotating the knob clockwise as far as it will go (fig. 6).

•Empty the container and fill it with about 3.5 oz. of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. In choosing the size of the container, bear in mind that the milk increases in volume by 2 or 3 times. You are recommended to use skim or 2% milk at refrigerator tempera- ture (about 41°F/5°C).

•Dip the cappuccino frother into the into the container with milk (fig. 23), taking care not to immerse the raised line on the cappuccino frother (indicated by the arrow in fig. 24).Turn the steam knob a half turn counter-clockwise as far as it will go (take care to avoid scalds). Steam is discharged from the cappuccino maker, giving the milk a creamy frothy appearance. To obtain a creamier froth, dip the cappuccino frother into the milk and rotate the container with slow movements from the bottom upwards. (You should not dis- charge steam for more than two minutes at a time).

•Once the desired temperature has been reached, stop the steam by turning the steam knob clockwise until it stops (Fig. 6).

•Prepare the coffee .as described in section 5, using large enough cups, then fill with the frothed milk prepared previously. The cap- puccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.

NOTE 1: The cappuccino frother must always be cleaned after use. Proceed as follows:

•Release a little steam for a few seconds by turning the steam knob counter-clockwise until it stops (Fig. 5).

With this operation, the steam spout discharges any milk that may be left inside. IMPORTANT: For hygiene reasons, this operation should always be performed, so as to prevent previously used milk from remaining inside the cappuccino frother.

•Turn the knob clockwise as far as it will go. With one hand, hold the cappuccino frother handle firm and with the other unscrew the cap- puccino frother cover itself by rotating clockwise and extracting downwards (fig. 25).

•Remove the steam nozzle from the delivery spout by pulling it downwards (Fig. 26).

•Carefully wash the cappuccino frother and the steam nozzle in warm water.
