If the machine will not be used for a long period of time, it is recommended to
.. clean the brew group (see instructions on page 27). Afterwards, please do not clamp the filter holder back
into the group.
.. empty the boiler. Switch the machine off (power switch in position "0") and open the hot water dispenser.
Due to the boiler pressure, the boiler water is now discharged by the hot water dispenser. Close the hot water
handle again after emptying the boiler. To restart the machine, see chapter "First use".
How to froth milk like a "barista"
If possible, use cold and fresh milk with a fat content of approx. 1.5 % or 3 %. Even homogenised milk is
•
suitable – if you prefer.
Use a frothing container (made of metal) with a minimum volume of 0.5 litres. The size of the container
•
should not be too wide. A small and narrow container is perfect.
Open the steam valve for approx. 5 seconds to release the condensation water and to create dry steam.
•
Fill 1/3 of the frothing container with milk and place it under the steam nozzle. The nozzle should be
•
immersed in the middle of the frothing container, just below the surface.
Slowly open the steam handle. The steam pervades the milk.
•
Keep the frothing container still.
•
After a few seconds, you will notice a light suction in the milk jug. Proper frothing begins. Move the
•
frothing container downwards while the milk level increases. The steam nozzle must be kept under the
surface of the frothed milk.
Attention: When the desired amount of milk froth is reached, immerse the entire steam nozzle in the
•
frothing container for a short time and close the steam handle.
Milk proteins "froth" with a temperature up to 77°C.
Once this temperature is exceeded, the milk does not froth any further.
If there is some milk left in the milk jug, let it cool down; it can be re-used later.
•
Advice: When milk frothing is finished, just shake the frothing container a little bit in order to make the
•
milk bubbles ascend to the surface and to get a compact milk froth.
•
After frothing the milk, release steam into the drip tray to avoid blockage of the steam nozzle.
