3. a) Before turning "On" your "IL Futuro, Jr." open the steam release knob (c). Do this by tuming
the knob counter clockwise. Then tum "On" your "IL Futuro, Jr." using the "On/Ofr' switch.
Make sure you place the proper cup size that is required for the quantity of espresso that
you are preparing. Place a cup under the brewing spout.
As soon as steam starts coming out of the steam release knob, you are now ready to start
frothing milk. Before you begin, close the steam knob by tuming it clockwise until no more
steam comes out of the nozzle. This will prevent any milkfrom splattering when you place
your pitcher under the nozzle. Once the steam knob has been closed you can begin frothing
the milk.
Start frothing milk immediately so that the proper pressure is maintained to froth your milkfor
cappuccino.
b) Hold the pitcher under the steam nozzle. Insert the steam nozzle with the "Perfect Froth"
attachment half way into the milk. Turn the steam control knob almost a fullturn counter
clockwise (see figure 10). Hold the pitcher steady as you froth the milk. Leave steam nozzle
in pitcher for approximately 45-60 seconds, depending on how much froth you want and the
type of milk you are using.
ATTENTION
Do not bring milk to a boil (this will happen iflarge bubbles start forming at the surface of the milk).
4. Close the steam release knob (c) after the milk is frothed by tuming it clockwise while the nozzle
is still immersed in the milk. This will prevent splattering of hot milk and foam. Ifyou prefer "stiff"
foam, let the frothed milk stand for a minute. Ifyou prefer "creamy" foam, use immediately.
5. Add the steamed milk to the espresso and spoon on the frothed milk.The proportion between
espresso and milk is to taste; in Italy it is normally one part espresso to two parts milk plus froth.
ATTENTION
The top closure of the Perfect Froth attachment (see figure 11Part A) has a very fine hole in it which
draws air into the milk. Ifthis tiny hole becomes clogged, "Perfect Froth" willnot work properly.
Therefore, never immerse the top closure in milk or froth.
STEAMING WITHOUT MAKING ESPRESSO
1. Insert the steam build-up plug (h) into the filter holder.Then proceed withsteps 4 and 5 in
section "Making Espresso".
2. Fillthe boiler container with cold water.
CAUTION: For steam only fillthe measuring container to the "@" marking. This willgive you
enough steam.
3. Open the Steam Release Knob (c) immediately after turningthe machine on. Stand by with your
frothing pitcher.
CAUTION: Do not leave the machine unattended at this time.
It willtake approximately 30 seconds after turning the machine "On" for the steam to come out
of the steam nozzle. Proceed with steps 3b to 5 in section "Making Cappuccino".
4. When all steam is released close the Steam Release Knob and tum "Ofr' machine.
CAUTION: In case you do not need all the water for steaming, proceed as follows:
a) tum off the machine,
b) release the remaining steam pressure into a pitcher.
DO NOT CLOSE THE STEAMRELEASE KNOB BEFORE ALL STEAMIS RELEASED!
(see also the section "CAUTION - PRESSURE").
