After the required espresso has run
through, return the espresso switch to the
I position, remove the filter carrier and
knock out the spent coffee meal (15).
The next lot of espresso can be prepared
after the sieve has been replenished with
espresso meal.
Generation of steam
Steam can be used both for frothing up milk
for cappuccino and for the heating of
liquids.
Since a higher temperature is necessary for
the generation of steam than that required
for preparing espresso, the espresso should
always be prepared first, as the coffee meal
might otherwise become burnt.
Due to the nature of the system, a little
water, which can be collected in a separate
vessel, will issue from the steam pipe before
the steam appears.
Frothing up milk for cappuccino
After you have prepared the espresso, froth
up the milk for the cappuccino.
To obtain the best possible results, you
should make use of the separate frothing
aid.
Push the frothing aid onto the steam
nozzle (16).
N.B. THE FROTHING AID IS TO BE
USED ONLY FOR THE FROTHING UP
OF MILK.
Pour about 100 ml of low fat milk into a
small narrow jug of maximum 0,5 ml
capacity, which must fit conveniently below
the steam/hot water nozzle of the machine.
The milk should be well cooled. You should
also use a cold jug, so do not wash it out
first with warm water.
As soon as the yellow control lamp ceases
to glow, hold a separate vessel beneath the
steam pipe and turn the knob to position
Allow water to run into the vessel until

Now commence the milk frothing operation.
Hold the jug under the frothing aid in such a
way that the nozzle dips completely into the
milk.
Turn the valve knob to the
Hold the jug steady during the frothing
operation (17).
The nozzle should not touch the bottom of
the jug so as not to impede the flow of
steam.
After the frothing operation, turn the valve
knob to the
Now turn the valve knob to the steam
position for a moment to blow out any
residual milk from the steam/hot water
nozzle, putting an empty receptacle below
to catch the drops.
Clean the frothing aid and also the
steam/hot water nozzle with a moist cloth
immediately after the frothing operation.
Heating liquids
Swing out the steam/hot water nozzle.
Pull off the frothing aid.
Switch on the appliance.
Make sure that the heating system is full
of water by moving the espresso switch
to the
position to see that water runs
through (6).
Then return the espresso switch to the
I position.
Due to the nature of the system, water and
steam will issue from the brewing head
during the heating operation.
