SLAYER STEAM X USER MANUAL
The Barista Dashboard™
Slayer Steam X is equipped with a digital interface that displays the essential functions of
the machine. Through the Barista Dashboard™, you have access to brewing parameters,
advanced operating settings, and more.
BASICS OF NAVIGATION
• Menus, settings, and queries display in rectangular screens, located directly
above each grouphead.
• Jog wheels, located to the right of each screen, are used to enter menus, cycle
options, make selections, and adjust settings. These actions are accomplished
by pressing in or rotating the jog wheel.
• During the initial setup, select the item to change, choose to save across
multiple groups if applicable, then scroll to the next menu setting until setup is
complete.
• The menu layout is circular; after cycling through the end of the menu options,
the first menu option will reappear.
Protip: At any time, you may move the grouphead actuator left/right to
quickly save/exit the menu.
GETTING STARTED
The left group screen is the main menu for all machine adjustments. Groups 2
and 3 (if applicable) have limited menus affecting only basic brewing parameters.
While the machine is idle, the left group screen will display up to four (4) units of
information: [add photo]
• Brew temperature (“Temp”) reading, displayed in tenth-degree (0.1-degree)
increments in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
• Brew time (“Time”) for the previous extraction, displayed in tenth-second
(0.1-second) increments. At the beginning of each extraction, the timer will
automatically reset and begin counting up from zero (0). At the end of each
extraction, the timer will automatically stop and will remain visible until the next
extraction begins.
• Brew weight (“WT”) for the previous extraction, measured by a flow meter and
displayed in tenth-gram (0.1-gram) increments. When a scale is not in use, weight will
be displayed as an approximation based on readings from the flow meter.
• Steam tank pressure (“Stm”) reading, displayed in 0.1-bar increments.
The screen that corresponds to the leftmost grouphead will display two (2)
additional units of information:
• Heating element activity, represented by a colon (“:”). When a brew tank is being
heated, the colon will flash near the brew temperature reading on the corresponding
screen.
• Steam tank fill status, represented by an upward-facing arrow. When the
steam tank is being filled, the arrow will appear next to the steam tank pressure
reading.
