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.
10d. USING THE FROTHXPRESS PLUS SYSTEM WITH FLEXIBLE HOSE (Fig. 17)
The machine 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.
•Now froth or steam as described in chapter 10c.
10e. 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.
10f. 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).
