DISPENSING HOT WATER - PREPARING A CAPPUCCINO
7 DISPENSING HOT WATER
Warning: at the beginning, short spurts of hot
water may come out: Danger of scalding. The
steam / hot water wand may reach high temperatures:
never touch it with bare hands.
• Before dispensing hot water, make sure that the
green temperature ready light (19) is on.
When the machine is ready to brew coffee, proceed as
follows:
• (Fig.7) - Place a cup and/or a container beneath the
hot water/steam wand (7).
• (Fig.8) - Open knob (10) by turning it clockwise.
• Fill the cup with hot water to the level desired; to stop
the hot water dispensing, turn knob (10) counter-
clockwise. The machine returns to normal operation.
Occasionally, upon opening knob (10), hot
water may not be dispensed and light (19)
may blink slowly. Should this happen, simply wait
until light (19) stops blinking and remains solid, at
which point hot water will be dispensed from the
hot water wand.
8 DISPENSING STEAM / PREPARING A CAP-
PUCCINO
Steam may be used to froth milk for a cappuccino, as
well as to reheat other beverages.
Danger of scalding! At the beginning, short
spurts of hot water may come out. The steam
wand may reach high temperatures: Never touch it
with bare hands.
• (Fig.13) - When the machine is ready to brew coffee,
press the steam button (16); light (20) will switch on.
The machine needs time to preheat; in this phase,
light (19) will blink.
• Before dispensing steam, wait until the green
temperature light (19) is solid (not blinking).
• (Fig.7 - Fig.8) - Place a container beneath the steam
wand (Pannarello frother) (7) and open the hot
water/steam knob (10) for a few seconds so as to
let the residual water come out of the steam wand
(Pannarello frother). After a brief moment, a steady
jet of steam will come out of the wand.
• Close the steam knob (10).
• Fill 1/3 of the container in which you wish to prepare
the cappuccino with cold milk.
Use cold milk for better results when
preparing a cappuccino.
• (Fig.14) - Immerse the steam wand (Pannarello
frother) in the milk to be heated and open the knob
(10). Move the container gently up and down to evenly
distribute the steam in the milk and level the foam
formation.
• After using the steam for the desired time, close the
steam knob (10).
• The same procedure can be used to heat other
beverages.
After using the steam wand (Pannarello frother), wash
it as described in the "Cleaning and Maintenance"
section.
After preparing the frothed milk, brew the
coffee. Press button (16).
My Coffee model: follow the procedure described in
section 8.1 to bring the machine back to the coffee
brewing temperature.
My Coffee Rapid Steam model: the machine
automatically brings itself back to the coffee brewing
temperature.
When not in use, the machine automatically
reaches the temperature needed to brew cof-
fee to save energy.
8.1 Switching from steam to coffee
(My Coffee model only)
• When switching from steaming to coffee brewing, light
(19) blinks quickly showing that the machine is over
temperature. Coffee may not be brewed.
• In order to brew coffee, a small amount of water must
fi rst be dispensed.
(Fig.7 - Fig.8) - Place a container beneath the steam
wand (Pannarello) (7). Turn the steam knob (10)
clockwise and wait until only the green temperature
ready light (19) is solid (not blinking). Then close the
knob by turning it counter-clockwise.
