WARNING
– Risk of Burns! The hot water jet is given off under pressure
and may splash. Even after operation, hot steam and hot water could escape from
the steam wand and the steam wand will be hot. Ensure to touch the steam wand
only by the black handle. When turning the selection dial to the hot water function,
steam and hot water come out of the steam wand. Ensure to keep your hands and
any delicate object in appropriate distance to the steam wand. Do not direct the
steam wand to persons or delicate objects. Even when using the hot water func-
tion, always be aware that hot water and steam could escape from the group
head. If you wish to add hot water to a drink, immerse the tip of the steam wand
into your drink, before starting the hot water function. Otherwise, hot water could
splash. Alternatively, point the steam wand at an angle to the inner side wall of
your vessel. However, you should avoid this procedure, when using glasses,
because even heat-resistant glass could crack, due to the extreme local heating.
Always switch off the hot water function, before removing your vessel.
IMPORTANT - The appliance is not intended for producing large amounts of hot
water. The water temperature decreases significantly, when large amounts of
water are given off. Depending on the required amount, you may need to start the
hot water function again after making a break.
NOTE
You cannot extract espresso, while using the steam wand functions. We recom-
mend to hold a damp, clean cloth at hand, when using the steam wand.
1. Prepare the appliance for operation (see: 'Preparing the Appliance for Operati-
on'). Wait until all buttons illuminate continuously.
2. Ensure that the filling level within the water tank is between the MIN and MAX
filling lines. Being aware that hot water or steam could drip from the group head
and do not hold your hands and arms under the group head, when turning the
steam wand into a suitable vessel.
3. Turn the steam dial clockwise (to the front) to the hot water icon. Hot water starts
flowing from the steam wand and the hot water/steam indicator illuminates con-
tinuously.
4. Wait until the desired amount of water is given off. Then turn the selection dial
back to the central standby position for stopping the water flow.
WARNING
– After producing hot water, the steam wand is very hot and
hot water and steam could escape from the steam wand and group head. Do not
touch the steam wand with your hands. Do not hold your hands under the group
head.

5. Remove the vessel from the steam wand.
6. In the case, you diluted an already prepared drink, wipe the steam wand, using
a wet, clean cloth or kitchen towel keeping in mind that the steam wand will
be very hot, thus ensuring that you do not touch the steam wand with your skin
(see: 'Care and Cleaning / Cleaning the Steam Wand').
7. Grasp the steam wand at the handle and turn the steam wand to the drip tray.
After diluting a drink, turn the selection dial clockwise for some seconds and
back to produce a short burst of hot water for flushing the steam wand.
TEXTURING MILK
WARNING
– Risk of Burns! Young Children must always be supervised,
when the espresso machine is in their reach. During operation and shortly there-
after, the steam wand will be very hot and hot steam and hot water could escape
from the steam wand and group head. Do not hold your hands and arms near the
steam wand tip or under the group head. To avoid splashing of hot milk, before
removing the milk, always stop the steam flow by turning the selection dial to the
central standby position. After texturing, the steam wand will be very hot. Only
touch the steam wand at the handle to avoid scalding! When using glasses or
plastic mugs, DO NOT point the steam wand directly at the side walls of the
vessel, because even heat-resistant glass could crack and plastic could melt
due to the extreme local heating. It is better to avoid using glass or plastic vessels
for texturing.
NOTE
You cannot use the espresso function and steam function at the same time.
NOTE
When using a metal vessel for texturing (e.g. the provided milk jug), you can feel
the temperature of the milk at the bottom of the vessel. With porcelain vessels this
is impossible, because porcelain is a bad heat conductor.
Various useful tips for texturing milk are given in section 'Tips for Best Results / Tips
for Texturing Milk'.
1. Prepare the appliance for operation (see: 'Preparing the Appliance for Opera-
tion'). Hold a clean, moist cloth at hand. Wait for the appliance to reach ope-
ration temperature and all buttons illuminate. Ensure that the water tank is filled
with a sufficient amount of water (between the MIN and MAX filling lines). Turn
the steam wand to the drip tray.
