STEAMING MILK
Scalding hazard! Use the appropriate insulating
devices to move the water and steam nozzles.
Slayer produces powerful steam by combining high pressure with
restricted steam tip holes. Various steam tip options (numbered 0—5)
are available to allow the barista to customize their steaming experience
and milk texture. Unless another size is requested at the time of purchase,
your Single Group will ship with steam tip #1.
Steam milk with the following steps.
1.
Fill a cold pitcher with the desired volume of fresh milk.
2.
Immediately before steaming milk, aim the steam wand toward the
drip tray or into a towel and pull the steam actuator forward to release
steam and purge condensation. Then, turn off the steam wand.
3.
Submerge the steam tip in milk and turn on the steam wand.
4.
Immediately move the pitcher down to expose the steam tip to the
surface of the milk, incorporating fine air bubbles.
5.
When the milk reaches body temperature, submerge the steam tip
again, then tilt the pitcher to form a gentle whirlpool.
6.
When the pitcher feels hot, turn off the steam wand.
• The final milk temperature should be 65—68°C (150—155°F).
7.
Wipe the steam wand with a damp cloth, removing all milk residue,
then briefly turn on the steam wand to purge milk from the wand.
CLEANING OF STEAM
NOZZLES
At the conclusion of each steam dispensing phase:
• Using a clean sponge, wash with hot water removing any organic
residue present. Rinse carefully.
• Clean the inside of the steam nozzle as follows: turn the nozzle
towards the cup tray and carefull activate steam dispensing at least
once.
DISPENSING HOT WATER
Scalding hazard! Use the appropriate insulating
devices to move the water and steam nozzles.
The hot water spout is activated with a push button located above the
spout. Push the button once to dispense water; push again to turn off
water.
Hot water is drawn from the steam tank and mixed with incoming cold
water. Frequent or heavy use of the hot water spout may result in reduced
steam tank pressure and temperature, causing decreased steaming ability.
