Steam and Hot Water functions.

Steam
The Steam function can be used to steam milk and other liquids. 
See the Tips section for techniques and recipes. 
1. Turn the control knob on the front of the espresso 
machine to Steam. Ensure the steam wand is 
pointing towards the drip tray as it will clear out 
some water during preheat. Once steam starts to 
come out, switch the knob to neutral position and 
quickly insert the wand into the milk. Proceed with 
steaming process by turning the control knob back 
to Steam.
NOTE: If there is a delay longer than a few seconds between heating and steaming, the 
heating will shut o and need to be repeated. 
2. Turn the control knob back to neutral when complete. 
NOTE: Use a hot, wet cloth to wipe o steam wand after every use. It is also 
recommended to purge the steam wand immediately after every use by quickly 
turning steam back on for a short time.
NOTE: After every steam cycle your machine will automatically release internal 
pressure as it is cooling down by slowly pumping access water and steam into the 
drip tray. Steam coming out of the drip tray is normal during this process. DO NOT 
remove the drip tray until the process is complete.
Hot Water
NOTE: If using the Hot Water function after steam, allow the machine to dispense excess 
steam before using this function per note above.
NOTE: Hot water volume and temperature can be adjusted via the Smart HQ app.
1. Place your desired cup or milk pitcher provided under the steam wand. 
2. Turn the control knob on the front of the espresso machine to Hot Water.
3. Fill your cup to your desired amount. If the dispense is not stopped manually by user, 
the machine will continue to dispense until a programmed volume is set.
4. Turn the control knob back to neutral when complete.
