Do not open the steam valve with the steam wand
immersed in milk and the machine switched off, as
the latter would suck milk into the pipes.
• Pour the milk into the jug.
• Immerse the steam nozzle into the liquid to be heated.
• Rotate the valve knob counter-clockwise.
• The quantity of steam dispensed will be proportional to
the opening of the valve.
• To stop dispensing, turn the valve's knob clockwise.
To keep the steam nozzle tips in perfect working
order, it is advisable to perform a brief dry dispens-
ing run after each use. Keep the tips clean at all
times using a cloth dampened in lukewarm water. Only leave
the steam nozzle immersed in the milk for the time needed
to heat it.

• Rotate the valve knob counter-clockwise.
