Tips & Warnings
To the speed frothing process, heat milk in microwave before putting it into frothing pitcher. Use a candy thermometer in milk for a perfect frothing temperature of 120 degrees F. If desired, top your cappuccino with whipping cream.
Be sure to release steam pressure, by turning machine to steam setting and allowing it to run out before opening water reservoir valve. Steam will come out of frothing arm (place frothing pitcher over arm to keep from making a mess). Failure to do so could result in serious steam burns.
