Capresso Impressa S Avantgarde Series - Manual (Page 17)

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.
1 0d. 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).
• Replace the frothXpress-PLUS system.
