Tips for Best Results:
- For optimal frothing, use fresh, cold milk with a fat content of ≥ 3%.
- Plant-based milks like almond, oat, soy, or nut milk can also be frothed effectively if they meet the fat content requirement.
- Do not overfill the jug beyond the indicated MAX lines to prevent overflow, especially for frothing modes.
