to produce steam to froth milk after having brewed coffee

1Ensure that the pod filter holder with a pod holder is fitted to the coffee maker.

2Press the steam button and its light will flash (see Fig. D page ii). When the steam indicator light glows continuously the unit is ready to produce steam (see Fig. E page ii).

3Place an empty jug under the steam/hot water nozzle and move the function lever to the lower steam position ( ) to remove excess water from the system. Return the function lever to the middle () position and discard the water.

4Part fill a jug with milk – the milk may increase up to three times in volume so select a suitably sized jug.

●Fresh cold semi skimmed milk gives the best results.

5 Position the jug under the steam/hot water nozzle

6 Place the nozzle into the milk and move the function lever to the lower steam

position ( ). The milk will begin to increase in volume and appear frothy . To obtain a creamier froth, rotate the jug with slow movements from the bottom upwards.

7Once the desired temperature and froth are obtained, stop the steam by returning the lever back to the middle () position.

●Never allow the milk to boil as this will spoil the flavour of the coffee.

8Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso coffee to make a cappuccino.

9Switch off the steam button in order to make further cups of coffee.

Note: After having used the steam function. The OK indicator light will flash

quickly (once per 1⁄4 second) for a short period to indicate the high temperature (see Fig. F page ii) during which period of time the machine is not ready for brewing coffee. Wait until the OK indicator light glows continuously (see Fig. G page ii) otherwise the temperature will be too high and will burn the coffee.
