Preparing Milk for Frothing/Heating
- Ensure the whisk is correctly placed at the bottom of the frother.
- Pour milk into the frother. Observe the MAX fill lines inside the frother.
- For Hot or Cold Froth, fill up to the lower MAX line (approximately 150 ml / 5.2 oz).
- For Heated Milk (without froth), fill up to the upper MAX line (approximately 250 ml / 8.1 oz).
- Using refrigerated milk (4-6°C / 39-43°F) is recommended for best cold frothing results.
