5.2 How to Use
- Choose the Right Whisk: For frothing, use the frothing whisk. For heating only, use the stirring paddle. Ensure it is securely placed on the shaft inside the cup.
- Add Milk: Pour cold milk into the frother cup. Observe the MAX and MIN fill lines. Do not exceed the MAX line (150ml for frothing, 350ml for heating) to prevent overflow. For optimal results, use chilled milk.
- Secure the Lid: Place the transparent lid firmly on the frother cup.
- Select Mode: Press the power button to turn on the frother. Use the mode selection buttons to choose your desired setting (e.g., warm airy foam, warm thick foam, cold foam, or heating). The digital display will show the current temperature and selected mode.
- Start Operation: The frother will begin operation automatically after mode selection. It typically takes about 2 minutes to complete the process.
- Automatic Shut-off: The frother will automatically shut off when the milk reaches the optimal temperature (65±2°C) or when the frothing cycle is complete.
- Serve: Carefully remove the frother cup from the base and pour the frothed or heated milk into your beverage.
