4. Setup and First Use

Before using your milk frother for the first time:

• Unpack all components and remove any packaging materials.
• Clean the frothing jug interior, lid, and whisks with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Place the power base on a dry, stable, and level surface.
• Ensure the frothing jug is clean and dry before placing it on the power base.

5. Operating Instructions

The KitchenBrothers Milk Frother offers four functions, easily selected with a single button:

5.1. Selecting the Right Whisk

• For frothing milk (warm thick, warm light, or cold foam), use the frothing whisk (the one with the spring coil).
• For warming milk without frothing, use the stirring whisk (the one without the spring coil).

Insert the chosen whisk onto the pin at the bottom of the frothing jug.

5.2. Adding Milk

Pour milk into the frothing jug. Observe the internal MAX fill lines:

• 115ml MAX: For frothing milk (to prevent overflow due to foam expansion).
• 240ml MAX: For warming milk (without frothing).

Using cold milk (around 4-6°C) and fresh milk (full-fat or semi-skimmed) generally yields the best frothing results.
