General Operation Steps:

1. Ensure the milk jug is clean and dry.
2. Insert the appropriate whisk into the bottom of the milk jug. Use the frothing whisk for foam, and the heating whisk for warming only.
3. Pour fresh, cold milk into the jug. Observe the MAX and MIN fill lines inside the jug. Do not exceed the MAX frothing line (8.45oz/250ml) for frothing, or the MAX heating line (16.91oz/500ml) for warming. Always fill at least to the MIN line (5.07oz/150ml).
4. Place the lid on the milk jug.
5. Place the milk jug onto the base unit.
6. Rotate the control knob to select your desired mode. The corresponding indicator light will illuminate.
7. Press the center button on the knob to start the operation. The frother will begin working.
8. Once the process is complete, the frother will automatically shut off, and the indicator light will turn off.
9. Carefully remove the milk jug from the base. Pour the frothed or warmed milk into your beverage.

Mode Selection Guide:

• Hot Thick Milk Foam (Red Light): Use the frothing whisk. Ideal for cappuccinos.
• Hot Thin Milk Foam (Green Light): Use the frothing whisk. Suitable for lattes and macchiatos.
• Heat Milk (Purple Light): Use the heating whisk. For warming milk without foam, such as for hot chocolate.
• Cold Milk Foam (Blue Light): Use the frothing whisk. Perfect for iced coffee or cold beverages.

6. Capacity Guidelines

Adhering to the fill lines is crucial for proper operation and to prevent overflow.

Image: A transparent view of the milk jug indicating the maximum fill level for warming (16.9oz/500ml), maximum fill level for frothing (8.45oz/250ml), and minimum fill level for both warming and frothing (5.07oz/150ml).

• Maximum for Warming: 16.91 oz (500 ml). Do not exceed this line when only heating milk.
• Maximum for Frothing: 8.45 oz (250 ml). Do not exceed this line when frothing milk, as milk expands significantly.
• Minimum for All Operations: 5.07 oz (150 ml). Always ensure milk is at least at this level.

7. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your frother.
