3. Submerge the steam nozzle just under the surface of the milk.
4. Rotate the Steam Knob to the steam position to begin frothing.
5. Move the pitcher up and down to create foam.

Troubleshooting

Refer to the following common issues and solutions.

This image provides a quick reference for frequently asked questions and troubleshooting steps.

Common Issues and Solutions

1. The Control Panel is Unresponsive: Turn off the machine, return the knob to OFF, and restart the machine.
2. The Filter is Stuck in The Brew Head: Attach the portafilter to the brew head and turn it left and right until the filter falls down.
3. Coffee Brewed Slowly or in Small Quantity: The ground coffee is too finely or too coarse. If the ground coffee is nothing wrong, rotate the steam knob and let the water come out of the steam wand (about 180ml).
4. Poor Milk Froth: Make sure your milk is whole milk and chilled at 2-5°C (35.6-41°F). If there is nothing wrong with the milk, submerge the steam nozzle into the milk surface at a depth of 1CM.
5. No/Less Steam: Check the water reservoir. Fill it up to the Max mark and reassemble it properly. Let the machine preheat. Rotate the steam knob gently until steam sprays out when milk frothing.
