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.
hint
●After frothing milk, dispense hot water from the steam/hot water nozzle (see below) which will help clean the nozzle and help the boiler to cool down more quickly.

setting the dispensing volume
The coffee maker has been programmed to dispense a pre selected quantity of liquid which is 40ml for Espresso, 125ml for a single café crema and 250ml for a double café crema. These volumes can only be changed by carrying out the following procedure ensuring that the appropriate coffee pod and pod filter are fitted.

2Press and hold the Steam button for 5 seconds during brewing and the OK and steam indicator lights will flash simultaneously. When the coffee volume in the cup reaches the required level, release the button and the water volume will be stored in the memory. This can be re-programmed at any time following the above procedure.
descaling
When the power on indicator light starts flashing the machine needs to be descaled and it will continue to flash until the unit is descaled.
1 With the machine switched off, place a jug under the steam/hot water nozzle. (This may need to be emptied during the descaling process.)
2 Fill the water tank to the Max level with a liquid descaling agent (follow the manufacturers guidelines).
