the correct temperature. It's important to remember that if the milk is not heated long enough the drink will be too cool and if heated for too long it will start to boil at around 72°C and all texture will be lost.

Tip: If you don’t have a thermometer a good indication that the correct temperature has been reached is when the jug becomes too hot to leave your fingers in contact.

Important: Do not boil the milk as the texture and taste will be affected.

9.Remove the jug, immediately wipe the steam nozzle and wand with a clean damp cloth (32) and purge a small amount of steam.

10.With the jug in hand tap the jug on the bench top to release the trapped air bubbles. Agitate the milk as this helps the milk and froth combine for an even consistency.

Note: After 10 minutes of non-use in steam mode, the espresso machine will automatically return to ready mode.

Using the hot water function

The hot water function is ideal for preheating cups and glasses, brewing teas, preparing long blacks, hot chocolates and filling coffee plungers.

When using the hot water function the espresso machine needs to be in hot water mode, so the red light behind the 'POWER' button and the green light behind the 'HOT WATER' button are illuminated.

Note: Should the espresso machine not be in hot water mode, simply press the 'HOT WATER' button to activate (33).

1.Swing the steam and hot water wand to the side of the espresso machine.

2.Place the cup or container under the steam/hot water nozzle and activate the hot water function by turning the steam and hot water control dial anti-clockwise as far as it will go (34).

Caution: The water from the hot water nozzle will be close to boiling temperature. Take care as boiling water may scald. Additionally, the wand will be hot and may burn.

3.Once you have dispensed the required amount of hot water into the cup or container, close the hot water by turning the steam/hot water control dial clockwise (35).

4.Remove the cup or container and swing the steam/hot water wand over the drip tray to catch any drips of water (36).
