Important: There is risk of scalding by splashing hot milk. Switch the steam off before you remove the jug with the frothed milk.

•Deselect the steam mode by pressing the

steam pre-selection button, the indicator light will turn off and the appliance is now ready again for making coffee. See figure 31.

Tip: After steaming and the steam mode has been deselected on the control panel, turn the ‘steam/hot water’ switch up and allow hot water to run out for a couple of seconds. This will help the temperature of the espresso machine return to coffee making temperature and also prevent milk remains from drying inside the steam nozzle and therefore blocking the nozzle. Be sure to place a cup of some kind under the steam nozzle when doing this.
