10 PREPARING CAPPUCCINOS (USING STEAM)
• Move the cappuccino maker outwards (fig. 2).
• Place an empty container under the cappuccino maker. Turn the steam knob a half turn anticlockwise as
far as it will go (fig. 3). The appliance displays:
STEAM
Allow the steam mixed with water to run off for a few seconds until steam only is given off.
•To interrupt steam delivery, rotate the knob clockwise as far as it will go (fig. 4).
• Empty the container then fill it with about 100 grams of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. In choo-
sing the size of the container, bear in mind that the milk doubles or triples in volume. You are recom-
mended to use semi-skimmed milk at refrigerator temperature.
• Dip the cappuccino maker into the recipient containing the milk (fig. 2), taking care not to immerse the
raised line on the cappuccino maker (indicated by the arrow in fig. 20). Turn the steam knob a half turn
anticlockwise as far as it will go (beware of burns). Steam is discharged from the cappuccino maker,
giving the milk a creamy frothy appearance. To obtain a creamier froth, dip the cappuccino maker into
the milk and rotate the container with slow movements from the bottom upwards. (You should not dis-
charge steam for more than two minutes at a time).
•Once the required temperature is reached, interrupt steam delivery by rotating the knob clockwise as far
as it will go (fig. 4).
•Prepare the coffee as described above, using large enough cups, then fill with the frothed milk prepared
previously. The cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and, if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa
powder.
IMPORTANT: always clean the cappuccino maker immediately after use. Proceed as follows:
•Discharge a little steam for a few seconds by rotating the steam knob. This empties any milk left inside
the steam spout.
IMPORTANT: to guarantee hygiene, you are recommended to follow this procedure each time you make
cappuccino to avoid milk stagnating in the milk circuit.
•Turn the steam knob clockwise as far as it will go.
•Wait a couple of minutes for the cappuccino maker to cool down then with one hand hold the cappucci-
no spout handle firm and with the other unscrew the cappuccino maker itself by rotating clockwise and
extracting downwards (fig. 21).
• Remove the nozzle from the steam spout by pulling it downwards (fig. 22).
• Carefully wash the cappuccino maker and steam nozzle in warm water.
• Make sure the two holes shown in fig. 23 are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.
• Replace the steam nozzle by inserting it and vigorously turning it upwards into the steam spout.
• Replace the cappuccino maker by pushing it upwards and turning it anticlockwise.
11 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
