While water is being drawn off, the heater warning lamp ( )
may light up. This shows that the system is heat ing. The
process must not be interrupted.
8. Drawing off steam
Steam can be used for warming up
all kinds of liquids and for frothing
up milk for cappuccino. Ensure that
for heating the mov able tube of the
nozzle is pushed up. For frothing, the
tube must be down.
Ⅲ Fill the water tank with fresh tap
water (no further than the mark)
and replace it in the machine, ensuring that it clicks home cor rectly.
Ⅲ Now turn on the power switch ( ). When the heater warning lamp
( ) goes out, the machine is ready for use.
Ⅲ Insert the nozzle in the liquid you wish to heat or the milk you wish
to froth and turn the selector switch to the steam position ( ).
Ⅲ When steam is being drawn off, the operating switch ()must
not be turned on!
Hot steam can cause scalding.
Only insert about half the length of the nozzle into the liquid so
that the air supply is not obstructed. The tip of the nozzle must
never touch the bottom of the cup otherwise the flow of steam
is obstructed.
Ⅲ Once the required amount of steam has been draw off, turn the se-
lector switch back to the coffee position ( ).
The heater warning lamp ( ) may light up while steam is being
drawn off. The maximum length of time during which steam
should be drawn off is 1 1/2 minutes.
When the frothing function is used, a little water comes out of
the nozzle first before actual steam can be drawn off, this has
no effect on the success of the frothing process, for example
when milk is frothed up.
8.1 Important after drawing off steam
After steam has been drawn off, the system is very hot. In order to
protect the machine, it must be cooled down each time after steam
has been drawn off by drawing off water (as per Section 7). Draw off
water until the heater warning lamp ( ) lights up again. Drawing off
water also cleans the inside of the frothing nozzle.
After drawing off steam, the outside of the nozzle should always be
cleaned with a damp cloth.
9. Cleaning and maintenance
By cleaning the machine thoroughly you can extend the operating life
of the appliance and maintain the high quality of the coffee it
prepares.
9.1 Emptying the grounds container
The system may cause the ‘Empty grounds container’ warn ing lamp
( ) to light up briefly. When it lights up constantly, the grounds con-
tainer must be emptied. Hygienic reasons make it advisable to emp-
ty the container once a day.
