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 Pressure
At the Slayer studio, the steam tank pressure is set at 1.5 Bars. If the steam is
more or less powerful than you prefer, adjust with the following steps.
1. Tap the round touch sensor near the center of the screen to activate the
menu.
2. Swipe from left to right until the “Steam Pressure” setting comes into view.
3. Tap the round touch sensor to enter the “Steam Pressure” setting. “Up” and
“down” arrows will appear on the right side of the screen.
4. Use the arrows to adjust the steam pressure in tenth-bar (0.1-bar)
increments.
‣
To increase the pressure, increase the value.
‣
To decrease the pressure, decrease the value.
‣
Only make incremental adjustments to the pressure.
5. To confirm your new setting and continue menu navigation, tap the round
touch sensor. To confirm your new setting and exit menu navigation, move
the brew actuator to the “pre-brew” or “full brew” position.
Adjust Power Management Tank Priority
Slayer’s power management program heats only one tank at a time. Determining
the program’s bias will depend on the application and location of your machine. In
most situations, “Brew” priority will be sufficient; in commercial environments,
“Steam” priority may be preferred.
1. Tap the round touch sensor near the center of the screen to activate the
menu.
2. Swipe from left to right until the “Power Management” setting comes into
view.
3. Tap the round touch sensor to enter the “Power Management” setting. “Up”
and “down” arrows will appear on the right side of the screen.
4. Use the arrows to specify “Brew” or “Steam” priority.
5. To confirm your new setting and continue menu navigation, tap the round
touch sensor. To confirm your new setting and exit menu navigation, move
the brew actuator to the “pre-brew” or “full brew” position.
Adjust Pre-Brew Timer
The pre-brew timer allows the barista to minimize brew actuator movement while
still making use of the pre-brew function. To prepare espresso with the pre-brew
timer, see instructions under “Using Slayer > Using Pre-Brew Timer” on page 33.
