3. Pour the ice milk into the latte cup. Please use the whole pure milk: cold is better. Because the milk volume will expand 2-3 times after foaming, so please select the appropriate container.
4. Switch the control knob to the position of ” ” and the indicator light is on. After 1 minute, the steam tube starts to release the steam. When the steam comes out, firstly please spray it to clear away the remaining hot water inside the tube. After seeing the water drops coming out from the tube, switch the knob to the “PAUSE” position.
5. Immerse the top of the steam tube to 1/3 position of the milk , and switch the control knob to the position of ” “. Gradually move the top of the steam tube to the place where is just beneath the milk surface, but it could be not higher than the surface. At this time, there will be a fizzy sound and the milk will be in vortex form in the latte art cup, which means the air is getting into the milk.
6. When the milk foam is rich enough, put the steam tube deep into the milk and make the milk temperature rise to about 66℃, and then the milk foaming process is completed. Switch the control knob to “PAUSE” position and then remove the latte art cup.
7. Firstly, pour the espresso coffee into the coffee cup, and then the foamed milk into the coffee cup. By now the cappuccino coffee is done. You can also add the right amount of sugar or cocoa powder on top according to your taste.

Tips for making coffee (reading is required before use)

1. What kind of powder is suitable for this coffee machine?
   A: We can judge it from the shape of the coffee grounds: 1. If the coffee grounds is pulpy, it indicates that the coffee powder is too fine; 2. If the coffee grounds is in the shape of loose sand, it indicates that the coffee powder is too coarse; 3. If the coffee grounds is in cake shape, it indicates that coffee powder is suitable.

2. Is there any standard for the usage amount of coffee powder?
   A: The ratio for the minimum usage amount is: 2 scale coffee powder in the filter screen corresponding to 2 scale water in the coffee pot.
   The ratio for the maximum usage amount is: 4scale coffee powder in the filter screen corresponding to 4 scale water in the coffee pot.

3. How much strength is needed for compressing the coffee powder tightly?
   A: The strength of about 8 pounds (about 3.6 kg) is needed for compressing and evening the coffee powder out by using the hand only.

4. Is it normal that there is steam spilling out from time to time when making coffee?
   A: The machine has safety function for manual pressure relief and automatic pressure relief. When the pressure exceeds 5 bar, the machine will automatically relieve the pressure to reach the pressure balance, so as to ensure safe of using of the machine. Hence, this is a normal phenomenon. Besides, if the coffee powder is too fine, there might cause steam spilling out too. Then please replace it with suitable coffee powder.

5. What is the function of the small hook on the coffee handle?
   A: When pouring out the coffee grounds, you can use the hook to prevent the filter screen from falling out.

6. What is the function of the stainless steel sleeves on the steam tube?
   A: It can make the steam to form a vortex convection, which can make the milk foam become richer and finer. 7. Why there is water flowing out from the steam tube when adding water into the water tank?
   A: After the amount of water exceeds the standard, the water will flow out from the steam tube.

7. Can the coffee machine be used to make milk foam immediately after making coffee? Is there anything that the user need to pay attention to?
   A: The user needs to pay attention to the following when making milk foam after making coffee by the coffee machine: 1. If there is water remaining in the water tank, the knob can be switched directly to the steam position to make the milk foam; 2. If there is no remaining water in the tank, switch the knob to the pressure relief position to have steam pressure relief, and then to add appropriate amount of water again after the pressure relief is completed.

8. Why the milk couldn’t be made into milk foam?
   A: 1. Make sure that you choose the milk kept in cold storage; 2. The milk can not be made into milk foam after its temperature rises due to the milk-foaming making process; 3. Making milk foam is a kind of skill. Please practise more.

9. What should be done if the milk foam has relatively big bubbles?
   A: You can take the latte art cup and knock it hard on the table for a few times, and hold the latte art cup by hand and rotate it in a certain clockwise direction for several times. By doing so, you can eliminate the big bubbles and make the organization of the milk more soft and dense, which will give a more dense taste.

10. What kind of milk is suitable for making milk foam?
    A: Low-fat milk is easy to make foam, but the bubble and foam is slightly bigger and looser, and it also has no dense taste. The whole milk is not easy to make foam, but once successful there will be a fine organization, which can make the Espresso cuisine become thick and viscous. For domestic customers, we recommend the whole milk of Nestle brand, then Yili brand and Mengniu brand (Deluxe milk excluded).

11. What should be done if there is no steam coming out of the steam tube?
    A: Generally speaking, it is usually because cleaning hasn’t been done in time after making the milk foam and the milk curdling blocks the steam tube. You can use tools such as a clip to clear it by putting it into the steam tube from one end of the steam tube. If it is not blocked, please try to put 1: 1 vinegar with water into the water tank, and then switch the knob to the steam position to soften the tube so as to clear it. If the above could not solve the problem, please contact the after-sale service center for solutions.
    Regular cleaning and maintenance

12. To ensure pure coffee taste, please conduct descaling, cleaning and maintenance for coffee machines after using it for 2-3 months.

13. Please use the “Disincrustant for coffee machine” to conduct descaling of the coffee machine (The water and disincrustant ratio is about 4: 1, or please refer to the operating instruction). If there is no disincrustant, you can use the “citric acid” instead (The water and citric acid ratio is about 100: 3).
    There is no need to put coffee powder when cleaning the coffee machine.

14. Please clean the water outlet and steam tube respectively according to the steps of making cappuccino.

15. Then use water to clean it for more than 3 times to make sure it is clean.

16. Please make sure that the coffee machine shall rest for more than 3 minutes every time in the repeating cleaning process.
