5. Immerse the top of the steam tube to 1/3 position of the milk , and switch the steam knob to the “MAX”. 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 interrupt steam delivery by rotating the steam knob clockwise and at the same time pressing the steam button.

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: If there are distinct bubbles in the mike foam, knock the latte cup to eliminate some large bubbles, and then shake the latte cup horizontally to mix the milk and milk foam fully.

Note: to prepare more than one cappuccino, first make all the coffees then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos.

Notes

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 residual: 1. If the coffee residual is pulpy, it indicates that the coffee powder is too fine; 2. If the coffee residual is in the shape of loose sand, it indicates that the coffee powder is too coarse; 3. If the coffee residual is in cake shape, it indicates that coffee powder is suitable.

2. Is there any standard for the usage amount of coffee powder?
   A: To make a single cup coffee only , place one level measure (about 7-8g )of ground coffee in the filter.
   B: To make a double cup coffee only , place one level measure (about 14 15g )of ground coffee in the filter.

3. How much strength is needed for pressing the coffee powder tightly?
   A: The strength of about 3.3 pounds (about 1.5kg) is needed for pressing and evening the coffee powder out by using the hand only.

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

5. What is the function of the area for cup warming?
   A: By warming the coffee cup in this area, you can get a better coffee taste because the coffee temperature difference is decrease when the coffee is poured into the coffee cup.

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 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 practice more.

8. 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.

9. 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. we recommend the whole milk of Nestle brand.

10. 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

• To ensure pure coffee taste, please conduct descaling, cleaning and maintenance for coffee machines after using it for 2-3 months.
• 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.
• lease clean the water outlet and steam tube respectively according to the steps of making cappuccino.
• Then use water to clean it for more than 3 times to make sure it is clean.
• Please make sure that the coffee machine shall rest for more than 3 minutes every time in the repeating cleaning process.
