2. During "full brew", watch the
brew pressure gauge and turn
the pump screw to adjust the
pump pressure.
‣
Turn counter-clockwise to
decrease the pump
pressure.
‣
Turn clockwise to increase
the pump pressure.
3. Reconfigure flow rate per
instructions under “Using
Slayer > Adjust Flow Rates”.
NOTE: Due to the unique method
by which Slayer espresso
machines read brew pressure,
the pressure gauge will read 0
bar unless a loaded portafilter,
blind insert, or Scace device
provides back-pressure.
Adjust Steam Tank Temperature & Pressure
At the Slayer studio, steam tanks are set to 118°C (245°F). The temperature of the
tank is directly related to the steam pressure: increasing the temperature will
increase the pressure, while decreasing the temperature will decrease the pressure.
The factory-set temperature of the steam tank produces a pressure of 1.5 bar. If
the steam is more or less powerful than you prefer, adjust with the following steps.
1. Briefly press the Love Controller’s "SET" button and wait for the screen to
begin flashing.
2. Press the "SET" button again to access the steam tank set temperature. A
red LED will light under “out2”.
‣
Use the up and down arrow buttons to select the desired temperature,
making only incremental adjustments.
3. Press the "SET" button again to confirm new temperature setting and return
to original screen.
4. Pull a steam actuator forward
to engage steam, then wait
until the Love Controller’s
"Out 2" red light turns on.
5. Return the steam actuator to
the "off" position, then wait
until the "Out 2" light turns
off.
6. Check the steam pressure
gauge inside Slayer to
confirm new pressure setting.
