14e. HOT CHOCOLATE, CAFE MOCHA

For hot chocolate fill the milk container with the desired amount of chocolate syrup, add cold milk and stir well. Then proceed as described under "Frothing". Adding a shot or two of espresso makes it a Café Mocha.

14f. CLEANING THE FROTHXPRESS PLUS

Remove the hose which connects the frothXpress Plus and the milk container.

Store the milk container in the refrigerator.

Remove the frothXpress from the steam nozzle.

Drop the hose and the frothXpress in a cup with warm water. This will prevent the milk from hardening.

Place a cup underneath the steam nozzle and push the PERMANENT steam button and let steam pass through for a second or two (see Fig. 4).

Replace the frothXpress-PLUS system.

For a more thorough cleaning you can take the pieces apart. When attaching the chrome sleeve to the black nipple, angle it as shown above. Use a twisting back and forth motion and gently push the two pieces together.

14g. CLEANING THE MILK CONTAINER

Remove the lid of the milk container. (The milk container is dishwasher safe; upper rack.)

Clean the lid and the two metal hoses with warm water.

Assemble as shown in Fig. 15.
