Capresso S8 Espresso Maker User Manual


 
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.
Frothing
Place a cup underneath the frothXpress (see Fig. 15a). The
machine is ready to produce steam as long as both green
lights in the steam buttons are illuminated. If they are off, just
push either button. Both lights will start blinking for about 15
seconds and then will stay illuminated.
Make sure that the dial points to the 12 o'clock position.
Press the PERMANENT steam button. The display will read
STEAM INTAKE and frothing will begin immediately.
When you have enough frothed milk push the button again.
Frothing will stop.
If you always use the same amount of frothed/steamed milk, you
can use the STEAM PORTION button (Fig. 3,K). Steam will be
dispensed for the programmed time and then it will stop auto-
matically. During this time the display shows STEAM PORTION.
The factory setting is for 14 seconds of steaming. You can pro-
gram the steam portion button to froth from 3 to 250 seconds
(see chapter 15.4).
Hotter Milk
If you want your frothed milk hotter, move the dial to the
middle position (3 o'clock).
Lift the cup so that the bottom of the frother is slightly
immersed into the milk. Push the PERMANENT steam button.
Hot steam will increase the milk temperature. Push the button
again to stop.
Steaming
Setting the dial to the lower part of the face, will eliminate any
froth build up. Milk will be siphoned and warmed. Otherwise it is
the same procedure as explained above under "Frothing".
TIP: After filling your cup(s) with the desired amount of hot
frothed milk you can immediately move it (them) underneath the
coffee spouts and brew coffee.
14d. USING THE FROTHXPRESS PLUS SYSTEM
WITH FLEXIBLE HOSE (Fig. 17)
The S9 comes equipped with a long flexible hose. This is useful
if you have your regular milk in the milk container and you want
to use another milk or chocolate milk.
Insert the black connecting piece into the frothXpress system.
Insert the other side of the flexible hose into a milk carton.
