- Place the lid securely on the jug.

4.2 Selecting a Function
The frother features an intuitive LED screen and buttons. Press the power button to cycle through the available 8 functions:
- Latte Art: Produces silky micro-foam (use frothing whisk).
- Cappuccino: Creates dense, rich foam (use mixing disk).
- Cold Cappuccino: Cold dense foam (use mixing disk, cold setting).
- Frappuccino: Blends for cold, creamy drinks (use mixing disk, cold setting).

6. Troubleshooting

- Check milk level; do not exceed the MAX froth line.
- Try different types of milk (e.g., whole milk, barista-style plant-based milk often froth better).
