USING STEAM WAND FOR
FROTHING MILK
Milk frothing is the steaming of milk. The steam
does two things: It heats milk and it mixes in
air to form a foamy texture. As with anything,
perfecting the art of milk texturing takes
practice, but the results are well worth it!
For best results use cold, refrigerated milk.
MILK
Whole Milk
Low-Fat Milk
Fat-Free Milk
Non-Dairy Milk
NOTE: Frothing levels depend on the amount
of milk being used.
1. Turn the START/STOP knob clockwise to
choose STEAM setting. STEAM indicator
will illuminate.
2. Fill a mug or frothing pitcher with milk of
your choice. For best results, use a range
of 4–8 ounces for your drink recipe to avoid
overflow when frothing.
TIP: Keep in mind that the volume of milk
will increase during the texturing.
3. Purge the steam wand of any water:
with the steam wand positioned over
the drip tray, activate the steam function
by pressing START/STOP knob to start
steam process. The ON indictor will
illuminate. Once any water has been

purged, stop the steam by pressing the
START/STOP knob. The ON indictor will
turn off.
4. Swing the steam wand back to the side
of the unit. Place the mug or frothing
pitcher under the HOT WATER/STEAM
wand. Place the steam want in the milk so
that the nozzle is just below the surface of
the milk.
NOTE: Pitcher not included.
5. Press the START/STOP knob.
The STEAM indicator will flash slowly,
then begin steaming. The ON indicator
will illuminate signifying steam process
has started.
NOTE: To cancel steaming, simply press
the START/STOP knob once again and the
steaming process will be stopped.
6. Keeping the pitcher at an angle, insert the
steam wand and rest it against the pitcher,
keeping the nozzle just below the surface
of the milk.
