Frothing and heating milk

You can use the coffee machine to heat or froth milk.

The coffee machine draws the milk through a tube from the container, e.g. a milk carton. Steam is then used to heat the milk in the cappuccinatore. It can also be frothed if milk froth is required.

If you have not prepared any milk drinks for some time, rinse the milk system before preparing the first drink to remove any bacteria which may have formed in the milk tube and in the cappuccinatore.

Preparation

^Place a container with sufficient milk beside the coffee machine on the right hand side.

^Insert the milk tube in the container. Make sure that the milk tube is sufficiently submerged in the milk.

Caution. Danger of burning and scalding on the cappuccinatore. The liquids and steam dispensed are very hot.

Preparing milk froth

^Turn the cappuccinatore dial to the ￿ position.

^Place a cup or suitable container under the cappuccinatore.

^Press the ￿ button.

The coffee machine will heat up. HEATING-UP PHASE will appear in the display. After being heated, milk froth will be dispensed from the cappuccinatore into the container underneath.

^Press the OK button when there is enough milk froth in the container.

If the level of milk in the milk container is higher than the cappuccinatore, turn the dial on the cappuccinatore back to the ￿ position to stem the flow of milk.

TIP For best results use cold milk (<13 °C).
