DISPENSING HOT WATER Hot water can also be dispensed from the frothing arm. This provides a convenient way to make Americanos, tea, or hot chocolate. Filling a demitasse with hot water is also a great way to warm it before brewing espresso. 3. With the frothing arm pointed into an empty cup, open the Steam Dial by turning it slowly counter-clockwise. Then press and hold the Hot Water Button to dispense water. NOTE: Always dispense hot water into an empty container - dispensing into a cup or pitcher containing other ingredients may cause splattering. 1. Press the On/Off Power Switch to turn the espresso machine on. 2. Wait until the espresso machine has reached operating temperature; this will take about 6 minutes. When the frothing boiler temperature gauge needle climbs into the "ready" zone, the espresso machine is ready to dispense hot water. NOTE: Residual frothing steam may exit the nozzle before water dispenses. It may take several seconds for water to begin flowing from the nozzle. 4. When the desired amount of water has been dispensed, release the Hot Water Button and close the Steam Dial by turning it clockwise until it stops. 22
