4. Operating Instructions
The frother features a simple one-button control with different tap modes for various functions.
- Add Milk: Pour milk into the frother jug. Observe the internal MAX and MIN level indicators. For frothing, do not exceed the lower MAX line (3.9 oz/115ml). For warming milk without frothing, do not exceed the upper MAX line (8.2 oz/240ml). For best frothing results, use milk with a fat content greater than 3%.
- Select Function: Place the frother jug onto the powered base. Wait 3-5 seconds before pressing the button. Press the center of the button with your thumb to select the desired mode:
- Tap Once (Red Light): Warm Dense Foam Frothing
- Tap Twice (Green Light): Warm Airy Foam Frothing
- Tap Three Times (Purple Light): Warming Milk (no frothing)
- Tap Four Times (Blue Light): Cold Milk Foam Frothing
- Start Operation: The selected indicator light will illuminate. The frother will automatically start and stop when the process is complete.
- Serve: Carefully remove the frother jug from the base and pour the frothed or warmed milk into your beverage.

6. Troubleshooting
- Frother Not Starting: Ensure the power base is correctly plugged in and the frother jug is properly seated on the base. Wait 3-5 seconds after placing the jug on the base, then press the center of the power button firmly.
- Poor Foam Quality: For optimal foam, use fresh milk with a fat content greater than 3%. Ensure milk levels are within the specified MAX/MIN lines for frothing.
- Milk Not Heating: Verify that the correct mode (Purple light for warming milk, Red/Green for warm foam) has been selected.
- Device Stops Unexpectedly: The frother has an auto shut-off feature when the cycle is complete or if it detects overheating (dry-burn protection). Allow the device to cool down if it stops prematurely due to overheating.
