Frothing and heating milk
The coffee system draws milk through a
tube from the milk flask. Steam is then
used to heat the milk in the
cappuccinatore. If desired, the milk can
also be frothed this way.
In order to produce the best milk froth,
use cold milk. The milk flask will keep
the milk cold for an extended period of
time.

Preparing the milk flask

^ Connect the stainless steel angled

end of the milk tube to the top of the
lid until it clicks into place.
^ Place the milk flask on the right hand
side of the coffee system.
^ Connect the other end of the milk
tube to the cappuccinatore.

Caution! The cappuccinatore will

become hot - danger of burns.
^ Insert the stainless steel suction tube
to the inside the lid. Be sure that the
slanted end is pointed downwards
(as shown).
^ Fill the milk flask up to a maximum of
3/4" (2 cm) below the rim..
