[. . . ] Switch on the main switch Your espresso machine will reach its operating temperature in a very short time. This is a major advantage in comparison with conventional espresso machines. You switch the appliance on by flicking the main switch (Fig. 9/2) comes on, as does the temperature indicator at the same time (Fig. 9/4), to show that the system ist warming up. It goes out as soon as the operating temperature is reached. Note: The temperature indicator can come on during operation, to show that the appliance is warming up again. Making steam with the foam nozzle (Fig. 9-13) The hot steam can be used to foam up milk for cappuccino, to pre-heat the espresso cups, and to heat up liquids generally. 0 To generate steam, first switch the appliance on with the main switch (Fig. 9/1) and wait until operating temperature has been reached. 0 Then immerse the foam nozzle into the milk or other liquid you wish to foam up or heat up, or the espresso or cappuccino cups you wish to warm, and start generating steam by rotating the steam lever (Fig. 1/B) anti-clockwise as far as it will go (Fig. For technical reasons, a little water will first escape from the nozzle; it can be removed before the actual steam generation starts but it does not harm the good result, e. g. from foaming up milk, in any way at all. 6. Start boiling switch on pump switch When you start the boiling cycle, the heated water is forced through the espresso ground coffee at a high internal pressure. This pressure, together with the special construction of the Crema Plus sieve and fresh espresso ground coffee, produces the crown of foam which makes espresso coffee from an Electrolux machine so incomparable. You can make your Espresso crema as follows: 0 When the temperature indicator (Fig. 9/4) has gone out you can start the boiling process by flipping the pump switch (Fig. 0 Once the required quantity of espresso has been boiled up, you flip the pump switch (Fig. 9/3) downwards again and this stops the brewing process. 3 Important: Immerse the foam nozzle only about half way into the liquid, so that the flow of air is not hindered. The foam nozzle should not be allowed to touch the base of the container as this might restrict the outflow of steam (Fig. Caution: Take care you do not scald yourself. [. . . ] Ensure that the fresh water tank is properly fitted into position. Ensure that the sieve carrier is properly fitted into the holding ring. Do not tamp the espresso ground coffee down so firmly. Move the steam lever to the OFF setting. [. . . ]
