Preparing a “Latte”: A latte is prepared to the proportions of 1/3 espresso and 2/3 steamed milk (no foam). Thus it has more milk than a cappuccino, and has a milder, milkier taste. Lattes should be prepared by pouring milk and espresso into the cup simultaneously.

6.Clear the Frother of milk BEFORE turning off the Espresso Maker, as dried milk can be difficult to remove. To do this, put an empty container in place under the Frother to catch the excess milk and gradually turn the Steam Control Knob counterclockwise to release the steam. Let steam escape for 5-10 seconds; then tighten the Steam Control Knob by turning all the way clockwise until no steam escapes the Frother.

CAUTION: Avoid contact with any steam.

7.FOR SAFETY REASONS, BEFORE REMOVING THE BOILER CAP OR THE FILTER HOLDER, ALL STEAM WHICH MAY BE PRESENT IN THE WATER TANK MUST BE RELEASED. To

release steam pressure from the water tank, be sure the Function Control is in the “ ” (STEAM) position and gradually

turn the steam control Knob counterclockwise until steam starts flowing out of the Frother. Wait until steam is no longer emerging from the Frother, then tighten the Steam Control Knob by turning all the way clockwise.

Do not remove the Filter Holder until all steam has been released, and all parts are cool enough to touch.

CAUTION: Avoid contact with escaping steam.

8.After all the steam is safely released and all parts have cooled com-

pletely, remove the Filter Holder by sliding the Filter Holder handle to the left until it is positioned beneath the “ ” (UNLOCK) symbol then pull down.

9.Flip the Filter Basket Clip forward so that the Filter Basket remains inside the Filter Holder. While continuing to press against the Filter Basket Clip with your thumb, turn the Filter Holder upside-down and tap out the grounds (see FIGURE 4). Open the Filter Basket Clip before the next use.

10.Unplug the Espresso Maker after each use.
