We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions: Only use cold water in the water tank. [. . . ] If steam starts coming from the Steam Wand before it is immersed in the milk, pause the steam by turning the Selector Control back to the `STAND BY' position. For optimal coffee temperature, pre-warm the espresso cups by placing them on the cup warming plate. Gently move the frothing jug in a circular motion around the froth enhancer. When the milk has begun to increase in volume, immerse the froth enhancer deeper into the milk to further heat the milk. When the jug becomes too hot to touch, turn the selector control to the `STAND BY' position to stop the steaming function before removing the jug. Pour the steamed milk to each cup of freshly brewed espresso coffee and spoon on the frothed milk in the following ratio's: Cappuccino - 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 frothed milk. Latte - 1/3 espresso topped with steamed milk and about 10cm of frothed milk, (traditionally served in a glass). Always ensure that the Froth Enhancer has been firmly pushed onto the steam wand. Always clean the steam wand and froth enhancer after every use (refer to care and cleaning). The orange `heating' light turns off when the machine has reached the correct temperature. After a few seconds*, aromatic coffee will begin to brew into the cups. As soon as the orange `heating' light has switched off, quickly insert the steam wand into jug the of milk so that the froth enhancer is immersed 10mm into the milk. For brewing more coffee immediately after using the steam function, the BarVista Espresso/Cappuccino Machine features an auto-purge system. This ensures that the ground coffee will not be burnt by the initial water flow from the Thermoblock that could be too hot. Instead this water is automatically released internally into the Drip Tray ensuring that the internal thermostat is at optimal temperature for extracting coffee. Your coffee will always be extracted at this optimal temperature ensuring only the best flavoured coffee is achieved. To enjoy an optimum flavoured espresso coffee, do not extract more than approximately 30ml (using the 1 cup filter holder) or for a double espresso do not extract more than 60ml (using a 2 cup filter holder). If using a pre-ground coffee, ensure an espresso grind suitable for espresso/cappuccino machines is purchased. If grinding coffee beans, the grind should be fine but not too fine or powdery. The grind will affect the rate at which the water flows through the coffee in the Filter and therefore the taste of the coffee. If the grind is too fine (looks like powder and feels like flour when rubbed between fingers), the water will not flow through the coffee even when under pressure. The resulting coffee will be over extracted, too dark and bitter, with a mottled and uneven crema on top. [. . . ] It is served in a small cup or glass to a level of approximately 30ml.
