PREPARING TO FROTH
To froth milk, you will need a thermometer and a frothing pitcher. Activate the steam temperature switch. The element indicator light will come on, and the machine will heat up to the correct steaming temperature. When the element light turns off. The machine is ready to produce steam. Open the steam valve for 2 seconds to bleed out condensation that has collected in the steam wand. Insert the steam wand into the frothing pitcher. Open the steam valve to begin frothing. It is important to deactivate the steam temperature switch when you have completed frothing, and allow the machine to cool to the appropriate temperature before brewing espresso shots. Brewing espresso with the steam temperature switch activated will produce burned espresso.
