5. Preparing Other Hot Drinks
1) Steaming Milk or Other Liquids
Dip one of the 2 steam wands (part 8, fig. 1) which are connected
to the steam valve, into the liquid to be heated, turn the steam
knob (part 9, fig. 1) gradually until steam comes out at the end
of the wand.
The steam will transfer heat to the liquid raising its temperature
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 wand,
open the steam valve and bring the temperature of the milk
almost up to 149/158° F 65/70° C.
• Lower the container so as to bring the wand 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 cappuccino.
In order to prevent the heated liquid from being sucked
back into the steam boiler it is recommended that you
purge the steam valve and steam wand by opening the
valve for a few seconds to allow steam to escape to the
atmosphere from the end of the steam wand. Failure to
do so can cause the heated liquid to transfer from the
heated liquid container to the steam boiler (via vacuum
created from cooling parts). This condition is
undesireable and can cause contamination in the steam
boiler.
2) Preparing Tea and Other hot Drinks.
You may dispense hot water by using the fixed nozzle (item 10
fig 1). To dispense hot water, press the tea water button on the
right most group.
This button commands the hot water delivery. The volume of
water delivered may be adjusted via the display (see the
Software Programming Manual for further instructions). The
temperature of the water dispensed may be adjusted by
adjusting the mixing valve under the right side cover of the
espresso machine.
