Operating Instructions

1. Frothing Hot Milk
- Insert Whisk: Ensure the frothing whisk is securely placed at the bottom of the frother jug.
- Add Milk: Pour cold milk into the frother jug. Do not exceed the "MAX Froth" fill line (lower MAX line) indicated inside the jug. Ensure the milk level is above the "MIN" line.
- Secure Lid: Place the lid firmly on the frother jug.
- Start Frothing: Place the jug onto the power base. Press the power button once. The indicator light will illuminate, and the frother will begin operating.
- Automatic Shut-off: The frother will automatically stop when the milk reaches the optimal temperature and froth consistency.
- Serve: Carefully remove the jug from the base and pour the frothed milk into your beverage.

2. Heating Milk (without frothing)
- Remove Whisk: Remove the frothing whisk from the bottom of the frother jug.
- Add Milk: Pour cold milk into the frother jug. Do not exceed the "MAX Heat" fill line (upper MAX line) indicated inside the jug. Ensure the milk level is above the "MIN" line.
- Secure Lid: Place the lid firmly on the frother jug.
- Start Heating: Place the jug onto the power base. Press the power button once. The indicator light will illuminate, and the frother will begin operating.
- Automatic Shut-off: The frother will automatically stop when the milk reaches the optimal heating temperature.
- Serve: Carefully remove the jug from the base and pour the heated milk.
Note: For best results, use fresh, cold milk. Different types of milk (dairy, almond, oat, soy) may produce varying frothing results.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your frother. Always unplug the appliance before cleaning.
- Immediate Cleaning: Clean the frother jug and whisk immediately after each use to prevent milk residue from drying.
- Remove Whisk: Carefully remove the whisk from the bottom of the jug.
- Hand Wash Jug: Wash the interior of the frother jug and the whisk with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. The non-stick coating makes cleaning easy.
- Rinse and Dry: Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry all parts completely.
- Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the frother jug and the power base with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the power base in water.
- Storage: Store the frother in a clean, dry place.
Caution: Do not use abrasive cleaners, metal scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the non-stick coating and exterior finish.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Frother does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power button not pressed; frother not correctly seated on base. | Ensure plug is securely in outlet. Press power button. Ensure jug is properly placed on the power base. |
| Milk is not frothing or frothing poorly. | Incorrect whisk used; milk level too high/low; type of milk; whisk not properly installed. | Ensure frothing whisk is installed. Check milk levels are between MIN and MAX Froth lines. Use fresh, cold milk. Reinstall whisk securely. |
| Milk is not heating sufficiently. | Milk level too high; frothing whisk still installed (if heating only). | Ensure milk level is below MAX Heat line. Remove frothing whisk for heating only. |
| Burnt milk residue at the bottom. | Milk left in frother too long after use; insufficient cleaning. | Clean immediately after each use. Ensure thorough cleaning of the bottom heating element area. |
