Note: In choosing the size of jug, it is recommended the diameter is not less than 70±5mm, and bear in mind that the milk increases in volume by 2 times, make sure the height of jug is enough.

WARNING: After finish the “Steam” function, press the coffee switch, if the coffee indicator and steam indicator blink fast, it means that the temperature of the appliance is too high and the appliance needs to be turned off and have a rest for more than 5minutes, or you can activate the “Hot water” function to cool down the appliance. And the water pump will stop pumping water automatically if the temperature is normal. And the coffee will be burnt and there will be overflow at the funnel if the appliance brew coffee directly without being cooled down.
Cleaning milk frother
After milk frothing, the steam nozzle must be cleaned. Not doing so may
result in steam blockage.
- Place an empty large cup underneath the milk frother nozzle.
- Turn on the steam controller and wait for approx. 15 seconds, then close the steam
- Wipe the nozzle with a clean damp cloth
- Detach the nozzle and wipe the milk frother with a clean damp cloth
IMPORTANT! Ensure the detachable nozzle is fitted firmly back in place after cleaning. If not fitted firmly back in position, the nozzle may detach during frothing due to steam pressure
- Any milk can be frothed (also soya and rice milk). However, some varieties of milk, g.whole dairy milk, will give better results than others. Skimmed milk does not froth as easily as whole milk due to low fat content. Therefore, we recommend using milk with a fat content 1.5% to 3.5% for finer froth.
- Well-chilled milk foams better than less-chilled milk. Recommended temperature: 7°C.
- Do not froth milk a second time (due to risk of scalding).
- Allow the frothed milk to stand for approx. 30 seconds before putting the froth on the espresso. During this time, larger bubbles will burst and milk, which is still liquid, sinks to the bottom. The froth becomes even finer this way.
AFTER USE
- Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the machine.
- Pull the power plug off from the mains power outlet socket.
- Allow the machine cool down for a few minutes.

residues do not dry on the machine.
