Operating Your Breville Product

Before First Use

Before first use, remove and safely discard all promotional labels and packing materials attached to the Breville Milk Café™.

Wash the jug, lid, and measuring cap in warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Wipe the exterior of the appliance with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly.

Frothing Hot Milk

1. Place appliance on a flat level surface and plug power cord into a 230-240V outlet and turn power On. The START|STOP button surround will illuminate to indicate the appliance is in Standby mode.
2. Select the 'Capp' or ‘Latté' frothing disc. Choose the 'Capp' disc for thick and creamy froth or the ‘Latté' disc for smooth and silky milk.
3. Illustration showing two frothing discs: 'CAPP' (Cappuccino) disc and 'LATTE' disc, with an arrow indicating the wider end faces down. Another illustration shows the milk jug with MIN and MAX level markings.
4. Insert the frothing disc onto the shaft at the base of the milk jug. Ensure the disc is inserted the correct way with the wider part of the disc at the bottom of the jug. The disc should ‘click’ securely onto the shaft.
5. NOTE: Always ensure frothing disc is inserted correctly before adding liquid. If the disc is not inserted correctly, it may dislodge during operation.
6. ⚠️ WARNING: Frothing disc is a choking hazard. Children must always be supervised and never left unattended with appliance.
7. Pour the required amount of cold fresh milk into the jug and cover with jug lid. Always use cold milk and fill the jug between the MIN and MAX level markings.
8. NOTE: Never operate without the minimum level of liquid in the milk jug. The milk frother will automatically turn off if the milk jug is empty. If this occurs, you will need to wait for the milk frother to cool down before re-use.
9. NOTE: For optimum frothing results, do not exceed the CAPP/LATTE MAX (500ml) marking inside the jug.
10. Place the jug correctly onto the power base, ensuring the jug is dry and clean.
11. Turn the START | STOP dial to the desired temperature. When frothing milk for a cappuccino or latte, it is recommended to stay within the ‘OPTIMUM MILK TEMP’ range, however this is up to your personal preference. If the temperature setting is changed whilst in operation, the appliance will stop at the new temperature selected.
12. Press the START | STOP button once to commence frothing. The button surround will start flashing to indicate the frothing cycle has commenced.
13. NOTE: Do not remove jug during operation. To stop operation at any time, press the START | STOP button once.
14. When liquid has reached the set temperature, the appliance will stop automatically. This will take anywhere between 2-7 minutes depending on the quantity of milk used. Carefully remove the jug from the power base as the jug and contents will be hot. Always remove the jug using the jug handle. Be careful not to place the jug on a table, plastic surface, or heat-sensitive surface which may scorch or melt. Remove the jug lid and pour the frothed milk.
15. Clean the milk jug and frothing disc after use. Allow the milk jug and disc to cool completely before disassembling.
16. ⚠️ WARNING: Surface of the jug will be hot during and after operation. Do not place hot jug on heat-sensitive surfaces.
17. ⚠️ WARNING: Do not place hot jug onto power cord.

Adding Ingredients

Always allow the milk frother to start for a few seconds before using the measuring cap to gradually add ingredients. If using one of the heated settings, this will allow the milk to warm up and help dissolve the additional ingredients.

Always add ingredients slowly and in small quantities. Adding ingredients too quickly may cause the frothing disc to dislodge or stop spinning.

Frothing results differ depending on the ingredients used. For example, adding dense ingredients like thick syrups, heavy powders, and large flakes can significantly reduce the amount of foam.

NOTE: The milk frother is not designed to mix a large quantity of dry ingredients or melt large food pieces (e.g., cubed chocolate, ground nuts, whole spices, or fresh herbs). The milk frother has been designed specifically for the purpose of foaming milk and other dairy milk alternatives and is not intended to whip, thicken, or heat other food substances (e.g., cream, custard, soup, gravy, etc.).

Using the ‘Cold Stir’ Setting

The COLD STIR setting allows you to froth cold milk or hot milk without additional heat. The COLD STIR setting can be used to froth milk for cold beverages such as iced cappuccino; to blend in syrups and flavourings for iced chocolate; or to stir in instant drinking powders into milk.

The COLD STIR setting will operate for 60 seconds before automatically stopping.

Preparation Guide

The chart below provides suggested milks, ingredients, and uses for the milk frother.

Safety Features

Standby

After 30 seconds of non-use, the milk frother will enter standby mode and the button surround will cease to illuminate. To re-activate the milk frother from standby mode, press the START | STOP button.

Boil Dry Protection

The milk frother will automatically cease to operate if the jug overheats. This can be caused if the jug is empty, if liquid is below the MIN measurement marking, or after consecutive uses. If this occurs, 3 alerts will sound. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet, wait approximately 5 minutes for the milk frother to cool down, or fill the milk jug with water for faster cooling. Once adequately cooled, you will be able to re-activate the milk frother and re-activate frothing.

Thermal Fuse Protection

This feature protects the milk frother in case of major fault. If this occurs, the milk frother will automatically turn off and will not re-activate. Immediately cease use and remove from the power outlet.

Care & Cleaning

The milk jug, frothing disc, and heating chamber should be cleaned after each use to minimize milk residue build-up.

1. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. The jug and the frothing disc will be hot after use. Wait for the jug and disc to cool before rinsing in tap water.
3. Remove the stainless steel jug from the base.
4. Thoroughly clean the inner heating chamber with a damp cloth, removing any milk residue. Diagram showing the inner heating chamber of the milk jug, highlighting sensor components labeled 'a'. Another diagram shows the base of the milk jug with the central hole for the frothing disc.
5. Remove the milk frother attachment from the milk jug base. Clean the milk frother attachment and the milk jug thoroughly in warm soapy water. (If using an alternative cleaning solution, please follow the manufacturer's instructions accordingly).
6. Thoroughly clean the base of the milk jug and ensure there is no milk residue or any foreign object in the hole (centre of the jug), as this will interrupt the normal frothing operation.

NOTE: Ensure there is no milk residue or spillage on the key sensor components in the heating chamber (a).

NOTE:

• Do not use alkaline or abrasive cleaning agents, steel wool, or scouring pads, as these can damage the surface.
• Never immerse the power base in water or any other liquid. The underside of the jug must always be dry before placing on the power base prior to use.
• The milk jug, jug lid, measuring cap, and frothing discs can be washed in the dishwasher (top shelf only).
• However, to extend the life of the frothing discs, it is recommended they are washed by hand.

Hints & Tips

• Always use cold, fresh (or freshly opened) milk.
• Some milks produce more froth than others. Experiment with different milk options and frothing discs to achieve the desired result.
• For optimum frothing results, do not exceed the CAPP/LATTE MAX (500ml) marking inside the jug.
• For best results, always start the cycle and warm milk first before adding ingredients.
• Remove excess air bubbles from frothed milk by gently tapping the jug on a bench.
• Swirl frothed milk in a circular motion before pouring milk into a cup or glass.
• Pour frothed milk promptly to avoid the milk from separating. Frothed milk that is not used immediately should not be reheated.
• Ensure jug and frothing disc are clean before use.
