Frothing, Hotter Milk, Steaming | Capresso S7, 13215, S9, S8

•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.
