3. Hot Milk (no foam): Press three times. The indicator light for hot milk will illuminate. The milk will be heated to approximately 70°C without frothing.
4. Cold Foam: Press four times. The indicator light for cold foam will illuminate. The milk will be frothed to a cold, creamy foam without heating.

The frother will automatically stop once the selected program is complete. The indicator light will turn off. Carefully remove the jug from the base and pour your frothed or heated milk.
