- Prepare the Frother: Place the frother pitcher onto the power base. Ensure the correct whisk is installed for your desired outcome. For frothing, use the spring whisk. For warming milk without foam, use the whisk without the spring.

- Start Operation: The frother will automatically begin operation after mode selection. It operates quietly and will complete the process in approximately two minutes.
- Automatic Shut-off: The frother will automatically stop when the milk reaches the optimal temperature (approx. 149°F / 65°C) or when the frothing cycle is complete.

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Ovetedot Milk Frother, please refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Frother does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outage; frother not correctly placed on base. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the frother pitcher is properly seated on the power base. |
| Milk is not frothing or foam is insufficient. | Incorrect whisk used; milk level too high/low; type of milk; whisk not properly installed. | Ensure the frothing whisk (with spring) is used. Check that milk is between MIN and MAX frothing lines. Use fresh, cold whole milk for best results. Ensure the whisk is securely attached. |
| Milk overflows. | Milk level exceeds MAX frothing line. | Do not fill milk above the MAX frothing line (5.1 oz / 150 ml) when making foam. |
| Milk is not heating. | Incorrect mode selected; frother already reached temperature. | Ensure a heating mode (Hot Dense Foam, Hot Airy Foam, Warm Milk) is selected. The frother automatically stops heating once optimal temperature is reached. |
| Unusual noise during operation. | Whisk not properly seated; foreign object in pitcher. | Turn off and unplug the frother. Check if the whisk is correctly installed. Ensure there are no foreign objects inside the pitcher. |
