For Non-Dairy Milk
The THERMOS Milk Frother allows you to make both light and thick froth, warm or cold, with dairy and dairy-free milks. However, not all milk alternatives produce foam. Use oat or soy milk when using the warm or cold foam setting. Coconut milk will only produce foam with the cold foam setting. Keep in mind that frothing dairy-free milks may not produce the same results as dairy milk.
How to Froth Milk
Attention:
- Always use the freshest, coldest milk or milk alternative possible for best results.
- When frothing large quantities of milk, allow the frother to rest for 3 minutes after every 2 frothing cycles.
- Ensure the frothing paddle is securely in place at the bottom of the pitcher. (See Figure 1: Diagram showing the frothing paddle securely in place at the bottom of the pitcher.)
- Remove the lid from the pitcher and pour your choice of milk into the pitcher. (See Figure 2: Diagram showing the pitcher filled with milk up to the MAX line, with the lid being placed on.)
Warning: Do not overfill the pitcher as this may cause the milk frother to overflow when using a foam setting. Ensure that milk is below MAX line.
- Place the lid on the pitcher and press down until secure.
- Place the pitcher onto the base.
- If the base is not plugged into an outlet, connect the plug into an outlet and the [power icon] icon will light up.
- Press the [function/cancel button] button to toggle between programs. Once the selection is completed, the unit will start working after the icon flashes for 3 seconds.
- To stop the program at any time, press the Start/Cancel button. Otherwise, the milk frother will stop on its own when the program ends.
Note: Programs run for a maximum of 2 minutes.
How to Heat Milk
- Take out the frothing paddle from inside the pitcher. (See Figure 3: Diagram showing the frothing paddle removed from the pitcher.)
- Repeat steps 2-7 from the "How to Froth Milk" section.
Warning: Ensure that milk is below MAX line, otherwise it may overflow.
Tips for Using
- Using whole milk with a fat content of 3% is the best choice. Low fat or skim milk does not foam well.
- Refrigerated milk has a better foaming effect.
- If you are not satisfied with the first milk foam, do not try to make foam from the same milk, otherwise the milk may be burnt.
- Always use fresh milk. Do not use milk that has been stored in containers for a long time.
- Do not reheat the cooled milk and pour out the old milk.
WARNING
- The unit should not be operated with an external timer or a separate remote control system.
- Only fill the container up to the interior MAX marking. If you pour in too much milk, it can boil over and cause burn injuries and property damage.
- Only operate the milk frother with the lid on and do not remove the lid when the appliance is being used. Otherwise milk can escape and cause burn injuries and property damage.
- At least fill the container up to the MIN marking with milk.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Clean your milk frother after every use to ensure the best frothing results, and also prevent milk residue causing burning on the pitcher inside. Always unplug the milk frother and let it cool to room temperature before cleaning.
DO NOT use metal scouring pads, abrasive powder or harsh chemical detergents to clean the milk frother or any of its components. Let all parts dry thoroughly before use or before storage.
WARNING
The pitcher and base contain electrical components. To avoid fire, electric shock or personal injury, DO NOT machine wash, rinse or immerse the milk frother base, pitcher, power cord plug in water or other liquids. [prohibited] machine wash, rinse or immerse the milk frother base, pitcher, power cord plug in water or other liquids.
