OPERATING THE ESPRESSO MACHINE Frothing and steaming milk Frothing and steaming milk requires a bit of practice, but you'll be surprised how quickly your skills will develop. The Espresso Machine gives you all the tools you need: an 11 ounce stainless steel pitcher shaped especially for frothing (with a spout perfectly designed for latte art), a frothing arm that adjusts horizontally and vertically for a comfortable working position, a frothing nozzle designed to enhance frothing, and a Steam Dial that lets you precisely control the volume of frothing steam. 1 Press and hold the On/Off power button until the ON indicator lights up. 2 Wait until the Espresso Machine has reached operating temperature; it may take approximately 6 minutes. When the frothing boiler temperature gauge needle climbs into the "ready" zone, the Espresso Machine is ready to froth. 3 Fill the frothing pitcher 1/3 full with cold milk. 4 With the frothing arm pointed into an empty cup, open the Steam dial for a moment to purge excess water from the line. To open the Steam dial, turn it slowly counter-clockwise. To close the Steam dial, rotate it clockwise until it stops. 14
