Capresso Avantgarde Series Espresso Maker User Manual


 
Please note: The tip of the dual frother should be attached
finger tight to the rod (Fig. 14b). The top of the rod is flexible.
Make sure the rod is properly seated over the steam nozzle,
touching the chrome cover (Fig. 4).
Tips for steaming: Leave the sleeve in the "up" position
(Fig. 14). Make sure that the milk does not start boiling. You can
stop the steaming process at any time by pushing either steam
button. To continue steaming, push either steam button again.
Tips for frothing: Start with the frother in the steaming position
("up") for 10 to 20 seconds, depending how much milk you are
working with. This way the milk is first heated. Then push down
the cylinder. The sound will change and milk-froth will build up
immediately. This way the froth on top of your milk is also warm.
If the milk is not warm enough, continue in the steaming position.
Attention: When moving the sleeve of the Dual Frother up and
down, avoid touching the metal parts since they become hot
during operation.
10b. CLEANING THE DUAL FROTHER PLUS
The tip and sleeve of the frother are high precision parts (Fig. 14b).
Always keep those parts clean and free of any milk residue.
Make sure that all openings and grooves in the tip are free of
any milk deposits.
After finishing frothing, remove the Dual Frother Plus and
immerse it in a cup with warm water. This is the easiest way to
keep the milk from hardening. When replacing the frother
push it up and make sure it covers the steam nozzle com-
pletely (Fig. 4, Fig. 14b)
Cleaning the steam nozzle: The Dual Frother PLUS is off (Fig. 4).
Place a cup underneath the steam nozzle and press the
steam button. Steam will eject any milk droplets. To stop,
push the steam button again after one or two seconds.
Tip: if the steam nozzle is blocked by hardened milk, use a needle
and loosen up the milk deposit. Then let some steam pass
through the steam nozzle.
10c. USING THE FROTHXPRESS PLUS SYSTEM
WITH MILK CONTAINER
The frothXpress system lets you produce hot steamed or frothed
milk right into your cup. After playing a bit with this attachment
you will be able to get exactly the amount of frothed or steamed
milk you want in your cup (refer to the video).
Remove the Dual-Frother-PLUS.
Fill the milk container with cold milk.
Assemble the milk container as shown in Fig. 15.
Attach the frothXpress-PLUS system as shown in Fig. 15a.
Important: This system siphons milk and mixes it inside the
frothXpress with hot steam. It is necessary that all parts are con-
nected tightly, otherwise the siphoning process will not work.
Frothing Position: The dial points to the upper part of the face
(frothing range). Start with the dial pointing to the "-" symbol (12
o'clock). Milk will be siphoned, heated and frothed. For hotter
milk, move the lever towards the "+" symbol (See Fig. 15).
Steaming Position: The dial points to the lower part of the face
(steaming range). Start with the dial pointing to the "-" symbol (6
o'clock). Milk will be siphoned and heated with no froth. For hotter
milk move the lever towards the "+" symbol.
Steam Only Position: When the dial points to the steam symbol
(3 o'clock), the siphoning is blocked. Only steam will pass
through the frother Fig. 16.
