Preparing Cappuccino; Frothing Milk; Making Hot Water - Gaggia CLASSIC Instrucciones De Uso

Preparing cappuccino:

When preparing to make a cappuccino, have all of the ingre-
dients at hand as well as a frothing pitcher (or mug) halffi lled
with skimmed or low-fat milk and cups that are larger (6 oz.)
than those used for espresso.

Frothing Milk:

The density of frothed milk will depend on milk fat content.
The steam spout (8) (or Cappuccinatore - pos. 24) will froth
the necessary milk without heating it to boiling.
It may require two or three attempts to "become an expert"
but you will be successful at frothing milk if you give it a
chance.
Swivel the Turbo- Frother steam nozzle (or cappuccinatore)
slightly outward so that you can get the frothing pitcher under
the nozzle without knocking the base of the machine.
Turbo frother steam nozzle version:
Warning! Danger of scalding!
Dispensing may be preceded by small jets of
hot water. The steam wand may reach high
temperatures: Never touch it with bare hands.
1 Make espresso (in a large cups) as described above
2 Position steam switch (4) to "1".
3 After 15 to 20 seconds or, when temperature ready-light
(3) goes on, place the frothing pitcher halffi lled with
low-fat milk under Turbo Frother steam nozzle so that tip
is just under the surface of the milk. See Fig.03.
4 Slowly turn steam valve knob (7) counter clockwise to
release steam.
IMPORTANT. The more you turn the knob, the greater the
steam pressure for frothing.
N.B.: Dispensing should not exceed 60 seconds.
5 Move pitcher in circular motion keeping the tip of steam
nozzle just under surface of milk as it begins to froth. Do
not let milk come to a boil since it will not froth.
6 When you have made enough froth,turn steam knob
clockwise to shut off steam and remove pitcher. Put steam
switch (4) to pos. "0".
7 Spoon the froth onto the espresso in each cup and gently
pour the hot milk along the side of the cup. Top each cup of
cappuccino with a dash of cinnamon, cocoa and nutmeg.
Serve.
8 NOTE: If you want to make more espresso immediately
after steaming milk, the machine boiler must be refi lled
with water and temperature brought down to a brewing
temperature. Otherwise, espresso may taste "burned". To
do this: place an empty cup on drip plate.
Warning! If coffee is brewed without reducing
the temperature through water dispensing, you
may get burnt!
Do not insert fi lter holder.
Turn hot water/brew switch (2) to "1" letting cup fi ll
with water.
Turn brew switch "0".
You many now proceed to make more espresso.

Making hot water:

1 Follow the procedure described under "Preparation".
2 Turn the power switch (1) to "1".
3 Allow about 6 minutes for the machine to reach its proper
operating temperature.
4 Place a pitcher under the steam nozzle (8).
5 Slowly turn the steam knob (7) anticlockwise so that the
hot water and put the hot water/brew switches (2) and
the steam switch (4) to "1" can be released.
N.B.: Dispensing should not exceed 60 seconds.
6 Once the desired quantity of hot water is obtained, turn
the steam knob clockwise and put the hot water/brew
switches (2) and the steam switch (4) to "0" to stop
the water release.
7 NOTE: If you want to make espresso immediately
after making hot water, the temperature of the machine
