The pump sound will change in a few seconds and espresso will start to flow into the cups. 9. When the streams of espresso turn light in color, TURN OFF the “coffee” switch. 10.

DO NOT rinse the filter or filter holder at this time as it will cool them and make the next batch taste bitter. (Stamp comment R J 14.08.2003 7:03:01 blank) TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO 1. Turn on the steam switch. 2. Put cold milk (skim, 1 %, 2%, Regular, Half & Half) into a steaming pitcher only one-third full. 3. Place an empty mug under the steam tube and open the steam valve part way to remove any accumulated water from the steam tube. 4. Close the steam valve. 5. Hold the pitcher with milk in it so that the end of the steam tube is below the surface of the milk but not so deep to block the air intake. 6. Open the steam valve all the way. 7. As the froth forms, raise the pitcher so that the steam tube goes deeper into the pitcher over the air intake. 8. When the froth is near the top of the pitcher, turn off the steam valve. (the froth may not come to the top if you are using a large pitcher with less milk in it.) 9. Turn off the “Steam” switch. 10. Remove the cups of espresso from the drip pan grid. 11. Spoon some froth from the pitcher on the espresso in the cup(s), then pour the hot milk in until the froth reaches the top of the cup(s). 12. If desired, sprinkle shaved chocolate or cinamon on top of the froth.

Longer extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. C. If a long extension cord is used, I. the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, 2. if the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding e 3-wire cord, and p . the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
