FAQ

What happens when my machine starts beeping?

 

The Spinel trypod machine is designed to alert users when the internal tanked water is close to empty, steps to refill are:

-Turn the power buttons to off
-Open compartment were water tank is located and fill with fresh water
-Switch machine back on and continue to use.

 

Why is the milk a little colder then normal?

 

-The resitrictor which is the screw located on the milk tubing itself is designed to tighten for hotter milk (restricting its flow) and the less tension on the tubing allows
 for the milk to flow faster.
-For optimum results tighten the restrictor so that it pinches the tubing down about half way.

 

The milk isnt pouring through?

 

-This may be due to the restrictor on the tubing being too tight and cutting off the flow of milk, or the milk frother head
 has been clogged up, remove the black milk frothing device and check that the nosle is clean and free from any milk matter that may be clogging the system.
-Regularly backfulshing the tubing with water will prevent the build up.

Milk Frothing Instructions:

- After machine is turned on it will take approx 5 minutes for the pressure to build up to the ideal level (top right of machine) in order to stretch milk, 23 on the pressure gage is ideal.
- The restrictor valve, which is the screw around the Tubing should be tightened enough to pinch the tube about half way to ensure the milk will come out hot.
- On the milk frother device itself there is a pin which adjusts the amount of steam that is produced and can be moved left or right to adjust the amount of froth you wish to have in your coffee.
- In addition the restrictor on the tube should be approx 7 cm from the milk frother itself.

For Hotter milk, you can tighten the ring on the tube which restricts the flow of milk and will increase its temperature (if it is too tight no milk will flow through), in addition if you move the reistrictor further down the tube this will also increase the temp of the milk, for colder milk all you need to do is loosen the restrictor.

* The standard settings for the milk stretcher is for the restrictor to be approx 7 cm from the frothing device and the tube to be closed about half way, all settings can be adjusted to suit your liking for the amount of froth and how hot you would like your milk.
