5.1 Filling the Milk Jug
- Ensure the whisk attachment is securely placed at the bottom of the jug.
- Pour fresh, cold milk into the jug. Observe the MIN and MAX fill lines inside the jug.
- For frothing, do not exceed the lower MAX line (typically 150ml) to prevent overflow.
- For heating milk without frothing, you can fill up to the upper MAX line (typically 300ml).
- It is recommended to use full-fat milk at a low temperature for optimal frothing results.

- After each use, unplug the frother and allow it to cool down.
- Remove the lid and the whisk attachment.
- Rinse the interior of the stainless steel jug with warm water immediately after use to prevent milk residue from drying.

6.2 Cleaning the Exterior

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your frother, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Frother does not start. | Not plugged in; power outage; incorrect placement on base. | Ensure the frother is securely plugged in. Check power supply. Ensure the jug is correctly seated on the power base. |
| Milk is not frothing or heating. | Incorrect whisk; milk level too high/low; milk type. | Ensure the correct whisk is installed for frothing. Check milk levels are between MIN and MAX frothing lines. Use fresh, cold, full-fat milk for best results. |
| Milk overflows during frothing. | Milk level too high. | Do not fill milk above the lower MAX line (150ml) for frothing. |
| Burnt smell or milk sticking to bottom. | Residue from previous use; insufficient cleaning. | Clean the jug thoroughly after each use. Ensure no milk residue remains. |
