4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to correctly assemble and install your Jura Professional Fine Foam Frother Add-On:
- Attach the Frother: Securely connect the frothing assembly to the designated port on your compatible Jura coffee machine. Ensure it is firmly seated.
- Connect Milk Siphon Tube: Attach one end of the milk siphon tube to the connector on the frother.
- Insert into Milk Container: Place the other end of the milk siphon tube into a container of cold milk. Ensure the tube reaches the bottom of the container for optimal milk intake.
- Secure Milk Spout: Ensure the transparent milk spout is correctly screwed into the frother. It should hold the internal aluminum piece in place. Pushing it in without screwing can lead to milk spray.

5. Operating Instructions
The frother features a control knob to adjust the milk output.
- Fine Foam (Cappuccino/Latte): To produce fine, frothy milk foam, turn the control knob fully to the left (approximately the 9 o'clock position). This setting is ideal for cappuccinos and lattes.
- Hot Milk: To dispense hot milk with minimal foam, turn the control knob towards the right (approximately the 3 o'clock position). This is suitable for hot chocolates or other milk-based beverages requiring less foam.
Experiment with the knob's position to achieve your desired milk texture and temperature. Always ensure your coffee machine is ready for milk preparation according to its own manual.
6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning is essential to maintain hygiene and ensure optimal performance of your frother.
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, detach the frother from the machine. Disassemble the milk spout and siphon tube. Rinse all components thoroughly under warm running water.
- Deep Cleaning: Periodically, use the provided Jura Cappuccino Cleaner. Follow the instructions on the cleaner bottle for proper dilution and cleaning procedure. This helps remove stubborn milk residues.
- Hand Wash Only: All components of the frother are designed for hand washing. Do not place them in a dishwasher, as this can damage the materials.
- Ventilator Maintenance: The small cap at the top (ventilator/air intake valve) is crucial for foam production. Ensure it is clean and free from blockages. A spare ventilator is included for replacement if needed.
- Reassembly: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling. Pay attention to correctly screwing the milk spout to secure the internal aluminum piece.
