When the machine is switched off, more hot water can be dispensed.
However, one does not necessarily have to switch off the machine for dispensing water.
Caution!
Place the nozzle of the dispenser into the water container in order to avoid injuries due to hot water
spillings.
6.5 Dispensing steam
With the TECHNIKA/ TECHNIKA PROFI, you can generate a large amount of steam in order to heat or froth
beverages, e. g. milk or punch. It is a professional and compact espresso coffee machine with an enormous steam
volume. Therfore, within a few seconds you can prepare milk froth. Please pay attention to the instructions noted
below. Do not bring the milk to a boil, otherwise frothing milk will not be possible.

Important: In order to get the best result when frothing the milk, open the steam lever for approx. 5 seconds to
release the condensation water in the pipe.
2 Immerse the steam nozzle (at the end of the steam dispenser) in the liquid.
3 Re-open the steam handle / steam lever.
4 Heat and/or forth the liquid.
5 After frothing or heating, release the steam into the drip tray to keep the slots of the steam nozzle clean.
Risk of injury
Always keep the steam nozzle underneath the surface of the liquid while heating or frothing to avoid
spillings.
Important
Clean the steam nozzle and the steam dispenser after every application with a non abrasive damp
cloth; this you can remove possible liquid residues.
Risk of injury
Avoid skin contact with the steam dispenser while cleaning!
