Important Tips for Best Results

• Use fresh, cold whole milk (fat content ≥ 3%) for the creamiest foam.
• Do not reheat cooled milk.
• The milk should ONLY go through ONE frothing or heating cycle. Do not repeat frothing or heating more than once.
• Clean the milk frother after each use.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions

• Frother does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet and the jug is correctly placed on the base.
• Milk is not frothing or heating: Check that the whisk is properly installed in the jug. Ensure milk levels are between the MIN and MAX frothing lines. Use fresh, cold milk with adequate fat content.
• Milk overflows: Do not exceed the MAX frothing line (250ml) when preparing frothed milk.
• Milk tastes burnt: Ensure milk levels are above the MIN line. The automatic shut-off feature should prevent burning, but always monitor the process.
