[. . . ] To remove the filter holder, turn the filter to the left, past the "lock" markings, until the holder dislodges from the machine. Cappuccino Cappuccino reportedly takes its name from the chocolate hues of the robes worn by the Capuchin monks who favored this delicious dessert coffee. Cappuccino is traditionally made up of 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 froth and can be tailored to one's own taste with cinnamon, sugar, chocolate flakes, or even liquor. Its versatility makes cappuccino a worldwide gourmet choice. 10 Making Cappuccino s If the "Perfect Froth" is not attached, attach it now (see figure 14). Follow the directions from step 1 to 12 in section "Making Espresso". As soon as the first few drops of coffee are forced through the filter holder you can start frothing the milk. 4. a) Turn the steam release knob counterclockwise to release steam (see figure 15). b) Keep the pitcher slightly tilted so that you can always see the position of the nozzle as you froth the milk. As the froth rises, keep lowering the pitcher so that the tip of the steam nozzle is always just slightly beneath the surface of the rising froth. Note: Do not bring milk to a boil (this will happen if large bubbles start to form on the surface of the milk). c) When you have finished frothing milk, close the steam release knob by turning it clockwise while the nozzle is still immersed in the milk. ATTENTION: The top closure of the "Perfect Froth" attachment (see figure 18, part A). If this tiny hole gets clogged, "Perfect Froth" will not work properly. Therefore, never immerse the top closure in milk or froth. Cleaning the "Perfect Froth" Attachment s For a thorough cleaning of the "Perfect Froth" attachment, remove part C (see figure 18). If the small suction opening in part A is clogged up, it can be opened with a fine needle. Cleaning the Drip Tray s The overflow grid can be cleaned by removing the grid (see figure 19). CAUTION Do not try to open or disassemble the main body of the machine. Cleaning Before cleaning, turn "off" the machine, unplug it, and allow it to cool down. The filter holder, filter basket, carafe, carafe lid, and overflow grid can be put in the dishwasher's upper rack, away from the heating/drying element. Never immerse the body of your "Il Caffè Duomo" in water or any other liquid. If there is water left in the boiler chamber, let the machine cool down, remove all loose parts and empty through the top opening by turning upside down. Cleaning the Steam Nozzle Clean the steam nozzle each time after you have immersed it in the milk, otherwise the inside of the nozzle becomes clogged and the milk deposits on the outside harden and become difficult to remove. s If clogging does occur, unscrew the tip of the steam nozzle (see figure 16). Remove all milk particles using a sewing needle and rinse under the faucet. [. . . ] If this blockage and subsequent dripping does occur, put the glass carafe immediately back onto the warming plate, and allow the full brewing cycle to run its course. Do not swing out the swivel filter until the brewing process is completed. 14 Cleaning s Always unplug this appliance before cleaning. Clean the filter basket, carafe, and lid in a solution of warm water and mild liquid soap. These parts can also be placed in the upper level of your dishwasher away from the heating and drying element for safe effective cleaning. [. . . ]
