The Puldoum Milk Frother offers four distinct modes for preparing your beverages. For best results, use whole milk, soy milk, almond milk, or milk with a fat content over 3%.

- Fill the Jug: Pour milk into the frother jug. Observe the internal markings:
- For frothing (hot or cold foam): Fill milk between the MIN (100ml / 3.4 oz) and MAX (150ml / 5.07 oz) frothing lines.
- For heating milk (no foam): Fill milk between the MIN (100ml / 3.4 oz) and MAX (350ml / 11.8 oz) heating lines.
- Secure the Lid: Place the transparent lid firmly on the frother jug. This prevents splattering during operation.
- Select Mode: Press the power button repeatedly to cycle through the desired modes. The corresponding indicator light will illuminate. The available modes are:
- Warm Light Foam: Creates light, airy warm milk foam.
- Warm Thick Foam: Produces dense, creamy warm milk foam.
- Cold Foam: Creates cold milk foam without heating.
- Hot Milk: Heats milk without frothing.
- Start Operation: Once the desired mode is selected, the frother will begin operation automatically. The temperature display will show the current milk temperature.
- Automatic Shut-off: The frother will automatically stop when the milk reaches approximately 65±2°C (for warm modes) or when the frothing cycle is complete (for cold foam).
- Serve: Carefully remove the jug from the power base and pour the frothed or heated milk into your beverage.

- Always unplug the appliance from the power outlet before cleaning.
- Hand Wash Only: The frother jug, lid, and whisks are not dishwasher safe.
- Clean Immediately After Use: Rinse the interior of the jug, lid, and whisks with warm water. Use a soft brush and mild soapy water to remove any milk residue. The non-stick coating makes cleaning burnt milk and over-frothed stains effortless.
- Do Not Immerse Base: Never rinse the exterior of the milk frother jug directly under the faucet, especially the bottom and the control panel. Simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
- Dry Thoroughly: Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing or next use.
- Store Whisks: Keep the whisks in a safe place to avoid loss.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Puldoum Milk Frother, please refer to the following table for common problems and solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Frother does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outage; jug not correctly placed on base. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check for power outages. Re-seat the frother jug firmly onto the power base. |
| Milk not frothing properly. | Incorrect whisk used; milk level too high/low; type of milk; whisk not properly attached. | Ensure the frothing whisk is used. Check milk levels are between MIN and MAX frothing lines. Use whole milk or milk with over 3% fat content for best results. Ensure whisk is securely attached to the pin. |
| Milk not heating. | Heating whisk not used (if no froth desired); heating element malfunction. | Ensure the correct mode is selected for heating. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Unit leaks or splatters. | Lid not secured; milk filled above MAX line. | Always ensure the lid is firmly in place before starting. Do not exceed the MAX fill line for your chosen function. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Whisk obstruction; foreign object in jug. | Turn off and unplug the unit. Check the whisk for any obstructions or if it's dislodged. Ensure the jug is clean and free of foreign objects. |
