6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Aeroccino XL.

• Dishwasher Safe: The frother jug and its lid are dishwasher resistant (max 158° F / 70° C). Place them on the top rack.
• Hand Washing: For the power base, wipe with a damp cloth. Never immerse the power base in water.
• Whisk: Remove the whisk and rinse it under running water immediately after use.
• After Each Use: Clean the interior of the frother jug immediately after each use to prevent milk residue from drying and sticking.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Aeroccino XL, refer to the following common solutions:

• Appliance does not start:
  - Ensure the power base is properly plugged into a working outlet.
  - Check that the frother jug is correctly placed on the power base.
• Milk is not frothing or heating:
  - Verify that the whisk is correctly inserted into the frother jug.
  - Ensure you are using cold, fresh milk and not exceeding the 'max foam' line.
  - Try a different type of milk (e.g., whole milk often froths best).
• Milk overflows:
  - Do not exceed the maximum fill lines indicated inside the frother jug.
• Red light blinking rapidly:
  - This may indicate the frother is too hot. Allow it to cool down before reuse.
