- Pour milk into the pot. For best results with frothing, do not exceed the 350 ml mark. If only heating with minimal frothing, you can fill up to 700 ml.
- Place the lid on the pot.
- Select a suitable temperature (e.g., 60°C or 65°C) using the rotary knob.
- Press the power button. Once the stirring begins, gradually add chocolate powder, syrup, or small chocolate pieces through the lid opening.
- The appliance will mix and heat the ingredients.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your appliance. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
- Stainless Steel Pot, Lid, and Rings: The removable stainless steel pot, lid, and both stirring/frothing rings are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, they can be washed by hand with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Ensure all milk residues are thoroughly removed after each use to prevent buildup.
- Base Unit: Wipe the base unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base unit in water or rinse it under running water, as this can damage the electrical components.
- Do not use abrasive cleaning agents, harsh scourers, or metal brushes, as these can scratch or damage the surfaces.
- Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the appliance.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your milk frother, please consult the table below before contacting customer support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Appliance does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outage; appliance malfunction. | Check power connection; verify power outlet functionality; check household fuse; contact customer support if problem persists. |
| Milk is not frothing properly. | Incorrect stirring ring used; milk type unsuitable; insufficient milk quantity; milk too warm. | Ensure the serrated frothing ring is used; use fresh, cold milk (dairy or suitable plant-based); ensure milk level is between MIN and MAX frothing lines; ensure milk is cold before starting. |
| Milk is burning or sticking to the bottom. | Incorrect stirring ring used; pot not thoroughly clean; excessive milk residue. | Ensure the smooth stirring ring is used for heating without frothing; thoroughly clean the pot after each use. While induction technology minimizes burning, residues can still cause issues. |
| Appliance stops unexpectedly. | Overheating protection activated; cycle complete. | Allow the appliance to cool down for a few minutes; this is normal operation if the selected program cycle is finished. |
