Dispensing Hot Water
Hot water tap included only upon request
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.
Adjust Flow Rates
Flow rate is controlled by a precision needle valve, which is located inside of the
machine on top of the brew tank. Adjust the flow rate with the following steps.
Parts and tools:
•
Empty 8-ounce vessel
•
Gram scale
•
Timer
Procedure:
1. Ensure that Slayer is fully heated.
2. Remove portafilters from all groupheads and set aside.
3. Begin with one grouphead: briefly move the brew actuator to the "pre-brew"
position, then to the "full brew" position for a few seconds before returning
the grouphead to the "off" position.
4. Beneath the same grouphead, place a container on a scale and tare the scale
to zero.
5. Simultaneously move the brew actuator to
the "pre-brew" position and start a timer.
6. When the timer reaches 30 seconds,
remove the container and scale,
then move the brew actuator to
the "off" position.
7. Weigh the container again
without taring the scale to
determine how much water
dispersed in the allotted time.
8. Use this weight to determine
flow rate, which is expressed in
these terms: x grams of water
per 30 seconds.
‣
Slayer recommends starting
with a flow rate of 40-60
grams of water per 30
seconds. The actual flow
rate may be within a range of +/- 2 grams of the desired flow rate.
