Using the Steam Function
The heating indicator lights up when you set the selector switch to the steam position.
Note: Make sure before each use that the selection switch is positioned to ›standby‹-
position (middle). If the selector switch is positioned to the right (in brewing position),
after preheating, hot water emerges from the group head. If the
selector switch is positioned to the left (steam/hot water), hot
steam or hot water (depending on the setting) emerges from the
steam wand. Important: Make sure that the black folding switch
is in the correct position: steam or hot water.
Frothing Milk
WARNING:
Hot steam or hot water escape from the steam
wand. Never place your hands or other body parts under the steam wand, or less
if the selector switch is on the steam or hot water position. Place a suitable container
under the steam wand before you turn the selector switch into the steam or hot water
position.
1. Make sure that there is sufficient water in the water tank (bet-
ween the MIN and MAX marks).
2. Press the ›on/off‹-switch and turn on the appliance.
3. Turn the black folding switch to the steam position.
4. Fill the stainless steel frothing jug about 1/3 with fresh cold
milk.
Note:
The best results are obtained with reduced-fat fresh milk.
5. Turn the selector switch to the left into the ›steam‹-position. The
heating indicator lights up. The thermoblock is heated to pro-
duce steam. The process takes about 30 seconds. Swirl the tip
of the steam wand over the drip tray. When only steam and
no water droplets are coming out of the steam wand, turn the
selector switch to the middle into the standby position.
Note:
Initially a few drops of water may emerge from the steam wand. For this reason,
the steam wand should be directed initially to the drip tray. The remaining water
that is in the system is thus flushed out of the steam wand.
6. Now hold the milk frothing jug under the steam wand and immerse the tip of the
steam wand approximately 10 mm into the milk. Now turn the selector switch
back counterclockwise to the ›steam‹-position. Water steam escapes from the
steam waned and the frothingstarts.
