• Turn the Selector Control to the ‘Steam’ position. The
orange ‘heating’ light will start to flash indicating that
the Thermoblock Heating System is heating and
preparing to create steam.
• As soon as the orange ‘heating’ light has switched off,
quickly insert the steam wand into jug the of milk so that
the froth enhancer is immersed 10mm into the milk.
• Gently move the frothing jug in a circular motion
around the froth enhancer.
• When the milk has begun to increase in volume,
immerse the froth enhancer deeper into the milk to
further heat the milk.
• Place your hand on the bottom of the stainless
frothing jug.
• When the jug becomes too hot to touch, turn the
selector control to the ‘STAND BY’ position to stop the
steaming function before removing the jug.
• Pour the steamed milk to each cup of freshly brewed
espresso coffee and spoon on the frothed milk in the
following ratio’s:
Cappuccino –
1
⁄
3
espresso,
1
⁄
3
steamed milk,
1
⁄
3
frothed milk.
Latte –
1
⁄
3
espresso topped with steamed milk and about
3 – 4 cm of frothed milk, (traditionally served
in a glass).
When the BarVista Espresso/Cappuccino Machine
is creating steam a pulsing noise can be heard.
This is the normal operation of the 15 bar pump.
If steam starts coming from the Steam Wand
before it is immersed in the milk, pause the
steam by turning the Selector Control back
to the ‘STAND BY’ position. This will avoid
the steam pressure blowing milk out of the
jug.
A pumping noise will sound for a short time.
Always ensure that the Froth Enhancer has
been firmly pushed onto the steam wand.
For best results use fresh cold milk
(lite milk will froth easier).
Always clean the steam wand and froth
enhancer after every use (refer to care and
cleaning).
Liquid should not be allowed to run over the
top of the froth enhancer, otherwise it will
not function.
To avoid splattering hot milk, do not lift the
steam nozzle above the surface of the milk
while frothing.
Ensure the selector control is in the ‘STAND
BY’ position before removing the frothing
jug.
