Hints & Tips
- For best results, use long-life (UHT) milk with a high protein content. Barista-style non-dairy milk is recommended for plant-based milk.
- For optimal froth, use milk directly from the refrigerator. Colder milk generally produces better results. The suggested milk temperature is around 4-6°C (39.2-42.8°F).
- For optimal froth, heat the milk first, then prepare your coffee or hot chocolate while the milk frother is working.
- Milk can be heated up to 70±5°C (149-167°F), which is optimal for drinking. Over-heating may destroy milk nutrients.
- This milk frother can also froth frozen milk, but it does not create frozen milk foam as heat is generated during operation.
- Never fill milk above the MAX Level. Ensure you use the appropriate whisk and check the corresponding fill line (250ml for frothing, 500ml for heating).
- Pour frothed milk promptly to prevent separation.
- Clean the milk jug immediately after each use. Flush and clean the walls with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive cloth, then dry with a soft cloth. The milk jug and lid are dishwasher safe.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Both the milk jug and frothing whisk should be cleaned immediately after each use to prevent milk residue build-up.
- Unplug the power cord from the power outlet before cleaning.
- To avoid electric shock, do not clean the base or power cord with water; do not immerse them.
- The milk jug and frothing whisk will be hot immediately after use. Carefully remove the milk jug from the power base and fill with tap water. Once the milk jug and frothing whisk have cooled completely, remove the frothing whisk and rinse off any milk in warm water.
- Wash the milk jug, jug lid, and frothing whisk in warm soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
- Wipe the exterior of the power base with a soft damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
- Store the cleaned milk jug, jug lid, and frothing whisk in a safe place away from children.
Note:
- Do not use alkaline or abrasive cleaning agents, steel wool, or scouring pads on any part of the milk frother, as these can damage the appliance surfaces.
- Never immerse the power base in water or any other liquid.
- The outside of the milk jug must always be clean and dry before placing it on the power base prior to use.
- The milk jug and lid can be washed in the dishwasher.
