Chocolate Rinse Purge Valve
After a drink with chocolate sauce is poured, water is introduced to rinse
the chocolate poppet valve, to prevent chocolate sauce build up on the
poppet o-ring, which can cause it to leak.
Milk Bowl
Both the Xpress and Xpress 6 machines have a milk bowl.
The milk bowl is a mixing chamber where steamed milk and flavors are
fully mixed before flowing through the product delivery nozzle and into
the customer’s cup.

Removing the Syrup Manifold
Prior to removing and replacing a syrup manifold, perform a flavor
system clean. It may be necessary to run more than one flavor system
clean to ensure all tubes are clean and clear. See page 9-10 for
instructions for cleaning the flavor system.
1. Remove the three screws attaching the syrup manifold to the
milk bowl.
2. Disconnect the adapter.
3. Disconnect the elbow.
4. Cut all flavor tubes just above the barbed fitting.
NOTE: Before cutting flavor tubes, note the placement of the
colored tubes in the manifold, especially for the chocolate sauce
tube. Doing this will ensure consistent placement of flavor tubing.
At this point, the syrup manifold can be removed.
