It's the MANUAL version, I can only find instructions for the Automatic online.
Someone has given me one of these machines - it was in the back of their garage and all manky, but I've cleaned it up, and almost got the hang or how it works.
The bit that has got me beat is the steam shusher thingy. If I push the lever on top to the back position, it just squirts scalding hot water into the cup/jug of milk - all over the kitchen first time I tried, which was exciting.
There is a switch with a picture of a cup on it on the right-hand side of the machine, but it doesn't stay switched on, so I can't work out if this has something to do with the whole process - I don't have enough hands to hold the jug of milk, press the switch AND move the lever.
Sorry if I seem dim. I haven't had a coffee machine in years-and that was one that used loose ground coffee and filter papers. I had to give it up due to excessive caffeine intake - I was a student at the time.
Thanks in anticipation
