Before First Use

1. Unpack all components and remove any packaging materials.

• To attach, simply place the whisk onto the small shaft at the bottom center of the frother jug. It is held in place magnetically.
• For frothing, use the whisk with the spring coil.
• For heating milk without frothing, use the whisk without the spring coil.
