5 Preparing 5.1.6 Frothing Milk 1. First prepare espresso into a large, pre-heated cup as described in chapter 5d, "Brewing Espresso". 2. Fill a small stainless steel or ceramic pitcher 1/2 full with cold milk and set aside. 3. Before frothing, it is recommended to purge the frothing wand (10) of any hot water. Place a cup under the frothing wand (or turn the frothing wand directly into the drip tray (9)). Once the indicator light is solid blue, turn the Control Knob (5) to the right towards the "Steam icon". The indicator light blinks red for 5-8 seconds while the water is purged from the wand. Once the water is purged, the indicator light will turn blue, and steam is produced from the frothing wand. Turn the Control Knob back to the " " position. The indicator light is now illuminated red indicating the machine is ready to froth/ steam milk. 4. Take the cold pitcher of milk and submerge the frothing wand (10) (with frothing sleeve (12) assembled) about two thirds into the milk inside the pitcher. Make sure the frothing sleeve does not hit the bottom of the pitcher during frothing. 5. With the frothing wand (10) submerged into the milk, turn the Control Knob (5) to the right towards the "Steam icon". 6. Steam will start to exit the frothing wand (10) releasing hot steam into the milk. During frothing, the machine's pump will make intermittent noise indicating that water is being pumped through the heating system to be converted into steam. CAUTION: Never remove the frothing wand (10) from the milk A while the Control Knob (5) is still in the steam position. Always turn the Control Knob to the " " position before removing the frothing wand from the milk or it could cause hot milk to splatter. C During brewing or steaming, the indicator light may turn off, change color, or blink, specifying the heating system is active and maintaining the proper temperature for brewing or steaming. 7. When the milk has doubled in volume, or, if you are using a beverage thermometer, when the milk has reached 165°F (68°C), turn the Control Knob (5) back to the " " position. C Carefully clean the frothing wand (10) and frothing sleeve (12) with a wet cloth immediately after steaming to avoid milk build up. Take care to avoid contact with hot parts. 8. Pour the frothed milk into the prepared espresso, now the cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and add any ingredients you desire such as flavored syrups, extracts or cocoa powder/ spices. CAUTION: To avoid splattering of hot milk, do not let the opening A of the frothing wand (10) go above the surface of the milk. Keep the frothing wand submerged in the milk during the entire frothing process. 16 / EN Manual Espresso Machine / User Manual
