Cleaning The Steam Nozzle; General Maintenance - Krups EA870810 Intuition Manual De Instrucciones

DRINKS MADE USING STEAM
The steam nozzle (G) foams the milk to made a Cappuccino or Café Latte. As the steam
production requires a higher temperature than for making an espresso, the appliance provides
an additional preheating phase for the steam.
For manual milk foaming, use pasteurised or UHT milk from the refrigerator (3 - 5°C). The use
of special milks (micro filtered, raw, fermented, enriched) or plant milks (rice, oat or almond
milk) can give results that are less satisfactory in terms of quality and quantity of froth.
It is not possible to make 2 cups at the same time: the "x2" function is not available.
The steps for making this drink with steam can be found in section 5 – MAKE A MILK
RECIPE, fig 1 to 11.
Please note:
There are 2 preheating times: one for the machine and one for the steam. The LED
flashes to indicate that the machine has finished preheating. Press "START/STOP"
again to start steam production. See section 5 - MAKE A MILK RECIPE, fig 8.
Caution: risk of burns.
Important:
Steam production stops automatically depending on the steam time selected
previously. You can press "START/STOP" before the end of the cycle if the
amount of milk froth is sufficient.
THE CYCLE DOES NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY.
If you do not press the "START/STOP" button, the machine returns to its initial
position after 2 minutes.

Advice and Tips:
To make the milk froth, fill 1/3 of the cup with milk. Immerse the steam nozzle in the milk
and hold it against the edge of the cup. Tilt the cup 45°. This technique creates a milk
whirlpool, which makes the optimal amount of foam. By following these tips, you will
create a barista-quality milk froth ready to be used to make a milky drink.

CLEANING THE STEAM NOZZLE

Important:
In order to obtain identical froth each time, we recommend that you carefully
clean the tube and its connector AFTER EACH USE. Do not wash the steam
nozzle in the dishwasher. It is recommended to clean the steam nozzle when not
used for a longer period (more than 2 days)
Danger:
After using the steam function, the nozzle may be hot, we advise you to wait a
few moments before handling it.
