HOT DRINKS
Dip one of the 2 nozzles (part 9, Fig. 1 or 2) which are
connected to the steam tap, into the liquid to be heat-
ed, turn the knob (part 10, Fig. 1 or 2) gradually until
steam comes out at the end of the nozzle (1).
The steam will transfer heat to the liquid raising its tem-
perature up to boiling point.
Be careful not to allow liquid to overflow in order to
avoid severe burns.
In order to prepare milk for making cappuccino with the
right amount of foam, go through the following steps:
- Place the container half-full of milk under the steam
nozzle, open the tap and bring the temperature of the
milk almost up to boiling point.
- Lower the container so as to bring the nozzle end to a
point just below the surface of the milk; at this point,
move the container up and down just enough to dip the
nozzle end in and out of the milk until you get the right
amount of foam.
You can then pour this milk into a cup containing warm
espresso and you will end up with a fresh cup of cap-
puccino.
PREPARING TEA - CHAMOMILE
AND OTHER DRINKS
You can get hot water by using the fixed nozzle (part 11),
located between the group furthest to the right and the steam
nozzle (part 9), and pressing the button (part 7, Fig. 1 or 2)
which commands hot water delivery; you can then add
the bag containing tea, chamomile, etc. The purified
water delivered by the nozzle will usually make the drink
darker in colour.
If you wish to have a drink with a lighter colour, just take
some cold water from an ordinary water tap and heat it
up by using the steam nozzle (part 9) and then add the
tea bag or other bag.
5. Preparing other hot drinks
N.B.
In order to prevent part of the liquid to be heated from being sucked back into the boiler (due to a possible tempo-
rary decompression inside the boiler tank) which would cause, after a few days, both the steam and the liquid deliv-
ered by nozzle part 9 and nozzle part 11 respectively to smell bad, we recommend that you de-vapourize the machine
once or twice for just a few seconds, which consists of quickly opening and closing the tap (part 10) with the nozzle
(part 9) not dipped in the liquid before starting such operation.
Furthermore, once you have immersed the steam wand into the liquid to be steamed in the pitcher, open the steam
tap immediately. Once the liquid has been heated, follow this procedure:
- lower the steam pressure
- remove the pitcher
- close the steam tap
