5. Operating Instructions

The BODUM OTTONI Electric Milk Frother features a simple one-button operation with three distinct modes:

1. Hot Foam Mode: Ideal for cappuccinos and lattes. This mode heats and froths milk to a rich, creamy texture. It can also warm milk without frothing.
2. Hot Chocolate Mode: Specifically designed for preparing delicious hot chocolate.
3. Cold Foam Mode: Perfect for iced coffees, cold lattes, or other chilled beverages. This mode froths milk without heating.

Steps for Use:

• Ensure the frothing whisk is correctly placed in the milk container.
• Pour milk into the container. Observe the MAX fill lines for frothing (225ml) and heating (400ml) to prevent overflow.
• Place the lid securely on the milk container.
• Place the milk container onto the base unit.
• Press the power button once to cycle through the available modes. The indicator light will change to reflect the selected mode.
• The frother will automatically stop when the selected program is complete.
