Remove the espresso capsule
holder from the brew chamber,
and place the espresso capsule
in the holder. Place the espresso
capsule holder back into brew
chamber and close brew head.
Place the mug or frothing pitcher
under the hot water/steam wand.
Place the steam wand in the milk
so that the nozzle is just below the
surface of the milk.
Turn the START/STOP knob
clockwise to select ESPRESSO,
then choose your desired
ESPRESSO brewing size.
Press the START/STOP knob on
selected ESPRESSO size. The
ON indicator will illuminate and
brewing will begin. Once fully
dispensed, one short beep will
sound.
Press the START/STOP knob to
start the steaming feature. The ON
indicator will illuminate, signifying
steam process has started. Once
the milk begins to steam, bring the
nozzle closer to the top of the milk
to begin frothing.
As the steam heats and textures the
milk, the level of the milk in the pitcher
will begin to rise. As this happens,
follow the level of the milk by lowering
the pitcher, always keeping the tip of the
steam nozzle just below the surface.
NOTE: Do not allow the steam to
spurt unevenly, or it will create aerated
froth/large bubbles. If this is happening,
raise the pitcher so that the steam
nozzle is lowered farther into the milk.
Turn the START/STOP knob
clockwise to select HOT WATER,
and press the START/STOP knob
to start hot water. The ON
indicator will illuminate.
When desired amount of water is
dispensed, press the START/STOP
