FROTHING & STEAMING MILK

Frothing and steaming milk requires a bit of practice, but you’ll be surprised how quickly your skills will develop. The PRO LINE™ Series Espresso Machine gives you all the tools you need: an 812 ounce stainless steel pitcher shaped especially for frothing, a frothing arm that adjusts horizontally and vertically for a comfortable working position, a frothing nozzle designed to enhance frothing, and a Steam Dial that lets you precisely control the volume of frothing steam.

1.Press the On/Off Power Switch to turn the espresso machine on.

2.Wait until the espresso machine has reached operating temperature; this will take approximately 6 minutes. When the frothing boiler temperature gauge needle climbs into the “ready” zone, the espresso machine is ready to froth.

3.Fill the frothing pitcher 13 full with cold milk.

4.With the frothing arm pointed into an empty cup, open the Steam Dial for a moment to purge excess water from the line. To open the Steam Dial, turn it slowly counter-clockwise; to close the Steam Dial, rotate it clockwise until it stops.

5.With the Steam Dial closed, adjust the frothing arm so it’s in a comfortable working position, and submerse the tip of the frothing nozzle just below the surface of the milk in the frothing pitcher.
