Setup

Before first use, unpack all components and remove any packaging materials. Clean the frothing jug, lid, and whisk attachments according to the "Maintenance and Cleaning" section. Ensure all parts are completely dry before assembly.

First Use:

1. Place the power base on a stable, flat, and dry surface.
2. Insert the desired whisk attachment (spring whisk for frothing, flat whisk for stirring) onto the pin at the bottom of the frothing jug.
3. Place the frothing jug onto the power base.
4. Connect the power cord to a suitable electrical outlet.

Operation

The ETA Latteo offers four functions for preparing milk:

• Hot Milk Foam (Thick): For dense, creamy foam.
• Hot Milk Foam (Light): For lighter, airy foam.
• Hot Milk: For heating milk without frothing.
• Cold Milk Foam: For cold, frothed milk, ideal for iced beverages.

Steps for Use:

1. Ensure the correct whisk attachment is installed in the frothing jug. Use the spring whisk for frothing (hot or cold foam) and the flat whisk for heating milk only.
2. Pour cold milk into the frothing jug. Observe the internal MAX/MIN markings.
   • For frothing (foam): Do not exceed the lower MAX line (approx. 150ml) to allow space for foam expansion.
   • For heating milk: Do not exceed the upper MAX line (approx. 300ml).
3. Place the lid on the frothing jug.
4. Place the frothing jug onto the power base.
5. Press the desired function button on the control panel. The indicator light for the selected function will illuminate.
6. The appliance will automatically stop once the program is complete. The indicator light will turn off.
7. Carefully remove the frothing jug from the base using the handle. Pour the frothed or heated milk into your cup.
