At this point press filter-holder upwards and at the same time rotate clockwise all the way. It does not matter if the filter holder's handle is not centrally aligned with the machine. It is important that the filter holder be firmly set in its housing. 8 The carafe with the lid must be positioned under the filter holder so that the sprout is inside the opening on the pot's lid (fig. 8).

When sufficient milk froth has been produced, turn the steam knob clockwise to close the steam valve. 6 Allow the remaining coffee to drip through the filter holder into the carafe, it takes about 3 minutes,then switch the appliance OFF.
