The display shows a dot.
The display shows "CLn".
If the machine will not be used for a long period of time, it is recommended to
.. clean the brew group (see instructions in chapter 10.2). Afterwards, do not clamp the portafilter back into
the group.
.. empty the boiler. Switch the machine off (power switch in position "0"), place a large container under the
hot water pipe and open the hot water dispenser. Due to the boiler pressure, the boiler water is now
discharged by the hot water dispenser. Close the hot water lever valve again after emptying the boiler. To
restart the machine, see chapter "First use".
How to froth milk
•
If possible, use cold and fresh milk with a fat content of approx. 1.5 % or 3 %. Even homogenized milk is
suitable - if you prefer.
•
Use a frothing container (made of metal) with a minimum volume of 0.5 litres. The size of the container
should not be too wide. A narrow and high container is better.
•
Open the steam valve for approx. 5 seconds to release the condensation water and to create dry steam.
•
Fill 1/3 of the frothing container with milk and place it under the steam nozzle. The nozzle should be
immersed in the middle of the frothing container, just below the surface.
•
Slowly open the steam lever valve. Steam pervades the milk.
•
Keep the frothing container still.
•
After a few seconds you will notice a light suction in the milk jug. Proper frothing begins. Move the milk
jug downwards as the milk level increases. The steam nozzle must be kept under the surface of the
frothed milk.
•
When the desired amount of milk froth is reached, immerse the entire steam nozzle in the frothing
container for a short time and close the steam lever valve
Milk proteins "froth" with a temperature up to 65°C.
Once this temperature is exceeded, the milk does not froth any further.
•
A word of advice: when you have finished frothing the milk, tap the jug and then swirl it so that any large
milk bubbles in the foam rise to the surface and disapate so that the foam becomes compact.
•
After frothing, briefly release steam into the water collection tray to avoid sticking the openings in the
steam nozzle: this is called purging the steam wand. Wipe the steam wand after each use with a slightly
damp cloth to prevent milk contamination and to ensure a hygienically safe machine.
