Capresso Impressa J5 - Manual (Page 19)

12.1.4 CLEANING THE FROTHXPRESS
After frothing, a few drops of milk are still inside the frothXpress.
12.1.5 QUICK RINSE
If you don’t use the frothXpress within the next half hour there is
a quick and easy way remove those milk deposits.
• Place a cup underneath the frothXpress
• Place a cup with some cold water next to the machine and
insert the other end of the milk hose into this cup (Fig. 14). The
frothXpress dial points at the 12 o’clock position.
READY .
• Push the Steam Button (Fig. 3). HEATING . When the display
shows READY push the Steam button again STEAM . The system
will push steam through the frothXpress.
• Push the Steam button to stop.
12.1.6 THOROUGH CLEANING / CAPPUCCINO CLEANER
If you use the frothXpress extensively or in case you forgot to
clean the frothXpress, it is possible that milk fat starts building
up inside the frothXpress.
The J5 comes with a bottle of milk fat dissolver (Cappuccino
Cleaner). This is the fastest and easiest way to remove any milk
residue from the frothXpress.
• Remove the frothXpress from the nozzle.
• Take the frothXpress apart (Fig. 17).
• Place all parts including the hose in a cup with warm water
and add one cap-full (15 ml or 1/2oz.) of the cappuccino liquid.
• Let sit for ten minutes or overnight.
• Rinse all parts under fresh water and assemble.
12.2 USING THE DUAL FROTHER PLUS
The Dual Frother Plus is ideal if you want to froth or steam milk
for just one or two cups of latte or cappuccino.
Remove the frothXpress, take the Dual Frother out of the storage
compartment and attach to the steam nozzle (Fig. 18)
Frothing Position: The cylinder of the frother is pushed down.
Steaming Position: The cylinder is pushed up ( see Fig. 19).
• Fill the desired amount of milk into a pitcher or in your cup.
Make sure that the pitcher or the cup has at least twice the
volume of the milk, e.g. if you steam or froth 5 oz. of milk use a
10 to 12 oz. pitcher.
• Always start with cold milk. Skim milk will produce the most
froth and will let you taste more of the coffee. Milk with 1%
and 2% fat will give you a bit less froth. Regular milk (3% fat)
will produce even less froth. The Dual Frother with its new tip
design will create a dense froth.
• The steam button is set to 20 seconds of steaming.
• Push the steam button (Fig. 3). Display shows
HEATING .
• When the display shows READY immerse the tip of the frother
into the milk (Fig. 20) and push the steam button. With the
cylinder pushed down, small frothing bubbles will build up on
the surface. With the cylinder pushed up, steam will heat up
the milk without creating froth. Both positions will create a
distinctive sound.
IMPORTANT:
• If the steam output stops, you can push the steam button
again and continue.
• You can always stop the frothing action by pushing any of the
beverage buttons.
• When you are finished with frothing/steaming set the pitcher
aside and prepare a shot or a double shot of espresso. Add
the frothed/steam milk to taste.
