With this appliance you can enjoy all kinds of great-tasting espresso variations. For every cup, coffee beans are freshly ground and coffee is brewed at high pressure, which ensures optimal aroma and taste. [. . . ] Frothing milk for cappuccino 1 Fill a clean milk jug or cup with fresh skimmed milk. Do not insert the steam pipe in the milk yet, otherwise this water ends up in the milk and affects the taste of the milk. Move the milk jug or cup downwards to bring the steam pipe to the milksurface. 5 Move the milk jug or cup upwards again until the tip of the steam pipe is approx. Turn the steam knob to `OFF' when you feel that the milk becomes hot. The milk froth is of good quality when there are no big bubbles in it. 10 Pour liquid milk from the bottom of the milk jug or cup into the espresso. Turn the steam knob to `OFF' when the hot water in the cup has reached the desired level. Adjusting the coffee mill The coffee grinder is preset to the correct coarseness and should not require frequent adjustment. You can select a coarser setting for less foam, a normal aroma and faster brewing. You can select a finer setting for more foam, a more intense aroma and slower brewing. Only turn the grinding coarseness knob when the coffee mill is grinding. Do not turn the grinding coarseness knob anticlockwise too far, otherwise the coffee may come out of the spout in drops when you brew cups. The adjustment only becomes noticeable after you have brewed at least 2 cups of coffee. Setting menu parameters When you have switched on the appliance and the appliance is ready for use, you can access the menu to perform certain actions and modify certain parameters. Descaling Over time, the continuous heating up of the water that is used to make the coffee leads to scale build-up in the inner circuits of the appliance. Fill the water tank with the entire bottle of durgol® descaler (15ml) and 1 litre of water. If you use a different descaler, follow the instructions on the package of the descaler. note: Use the descaler supplied with the appliance or a liquid descaler based on citric acid. Never use a descaler with acetic acid, as this will damage the appliance. note: Be careful not to spill descaler on the metal surfaces of the machine and on surfaces sensitive to acid such as marble , limestone and glaze. Cleaning Let the appliance cool down and unplug it before you clean it. [. . . ] Use a needle to scrape dried coffee residues out of the blocked spout hole. When I press the button for short, standard or long coffee, water instead of coffee comes out of the appliance. Switch off the appliance and unblock the funnel with the handle of a spoon. Then clean the brewing unit and the inside of the appliance (see chapter `Cleaning'). [. . . ]
