ensure the steam nozzle is immersed in the milk, and then carefully turn the steam control knob in an anti- clockwise direction for it to begin frothing milk (Fig. 17). When satisfied with the frothed milk then turn off the steam control knob to stop producing steam. If there is excess water in the boiler unit, more steam can be generated or espresso can be made.

Note 1: Bear in mind that the milk generally increases in volume by 1.5 times, so make sure the height of the cup is enough.

Note 2: to get a better effect, move the cup constantly up and down. This spreads the temperature throughout the milk faster.

2.Mix espresso coffee with frothed milk and stir, add chocolate powder if necessary.

3.It is necessary to clean the steam nozzle once you have finished using the coffee maker, so that the dry milk doesn’t block the steam outlet. In order to do this, grasp the nozzle with your hand and secure the pipe with your other hand. Now pull the steam nozzle off (Fig. 18). Wash it with warm water to clean off any milk residue. After cleaning, reassemble it back into its original position.

Caution: The steam nozzle will be hot after steaming, so we advise that you allow it to cool down before cleaning or touching it.

Note: to prepare more than one cappuccino, first make all the coffees and then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.

HOW TO DESCALE MY COFFEE MAKER

The coffee maker must be de-scaled regularly. The frequency depends on the hardness of your water and how often you use the coffee maker.

Recognisable indications that de-scaling is necessary are:

•Increased noise during boiling

•Longer preparation time

If usage is frequent, de-scaling should be carried out as follows:

•With soft water, once per year

•With medium water, once every 3 months

•With hard water, once per month If in doubt regarding the water hardness in your area, you may call your local water department. For ecological and health reasons, we recommend the exclusive use of biological materials such as citric acid, which can be obtained from pharmacies.
