Important safeguards for electrical appliances

Basic safety precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances. To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury, it is important that you read all instructions before to use.

- Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220/230 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for 16 A). Always connect the appliance directly to a separately protected mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth/ground). Do not use any extension cord.

The installation of a residual current safety switch with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.

• Always unplug the appliance when not in use and before moving or cleaning the appliance. Do not leave the appliance unattended while connected to the power supply.
• Keep the cord away from hot surfaces, including the stove. When the power cord warms up during operation or is likely to be damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised service centre. Do not attempt to repair the power cord!
• Do not immerse the pitcher or power cord in water or any other liquid.
• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Hot surfaces - risk of burns

The milk frother is used for frothing and heating milk. During operation the inside of the pitcher and the lid heat up.

• Dry spilled liquids immediately. When moving the filled pitcher, close supervision is necessary to keep the pitcher in an upright position to avoid spilling, and thus avoid injuries and damage. Use the handle to lift the pitcher.
• The interior of the pitcher and Lid heat up during operation. Always keep your hands, face and arm as well as any clothing and other heat-sensitive objects out of the pitcher during operation or shortly after to avoid injury - risk of getting burned. Wait for the appliance to cool down. Do not place any objects or clothes on or in the appliance during operation to avoid overheating. Before filling the pitcher ensure no foreign objects are inside the pitcher.
  • Always place the appliance on a stable, level, dry, heat-resistant and easy accessible surface (i. e. glass, ceramic, stone).
• Ensure the appliance is properly assembled, the attachment is locked in position and the correct amount of milk is filled into the pitcher before turning the appliance on. Do not overfill the pitcher.
  • Always keep the lid except flavour hatch closed during operation. The rotation of the attachment during operation can cause spilling when the lid is removed. Do not hold your face, hands, other parts of your body, or heat-sensitive objects over the lid or spout, and always beware of hot steam, when opening the lid after operation to avoid scalding.
• Never place any heat-sensitive objects on the appliance when in use to prevent damage from heat, condense water and splatter.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool before assembling or disassembling parts, and before cleaning the appliance.

• Never operate the appliance without milk, water, or other appropriate ingredients in the pitcher. Failure to do so can result in damage to the appliance. If a problem appears, return appliance to an authorised service centre or factory for repair. Do not attempt to repair. Appliance contains no user serviceable parts.

• Do not use appliance for anything other then intended use.

• Ensure the froth whip and the whip holder are correctly assembled.
• Beware of hot steam when removing the lid.

- WARNING: When making froth or hot beverages, the heated liquid is hotter than the froth. When serving, especially to children, wait briefly for heated liquid to cool down and sip cautiously.

- ATTENTION: Your milk frother's pitcher is made of high quality PYREX Glass. The pitcher should not come in contact with a cold liquid (including tap water) or surface for about three minutes following the completion of the frothing process. Despite its strength, the Pyrex frothing pitcher can break due to a sudden temperature change to your pitcher. After the three minute period, add a little warm or hot water to the pitcher, and then the frothing pitcher can be cleaned as specified in the >Care and cleaning< instructions. Remember, however, to rinse with cold water prior to initiating a new frothing cycle.

Before first use

Carefully unpack the appliance and remove any promotional material attached to the pitcher, but do not remove the warning or model labels on the appliance.

ATTENTION: The milk frother is used for heating and frothing milk. Never fill other foods inside the pitcher.

Before cooking, insert the plug into the outlet on the body, and the power supply plug into the socket outlet

WARNING: Always connect the appliance directly to a separately protected mains power supply wall socket with protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Do not use any extension cord.

Always attach the power plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into the wall outlet. To disconnect, turn unit's control switch to OFF, then remove the power plug from the wall outlet.

Before first use and after each use, it is important that you clean your milk frother (see: >Care and cleaning<).

ATTENTION: The appliance is not dishwasher safe.

Note: Before first use there might be a slight smell. That is normal and absolutely harmless. The smell will dissapear when you use the appliance several times.

ATTENTION: Do not put foreign objects in the pitcher.

Operation

1. Place the appliance onto a counter or a table. Insert the modular power cord into the unit's power receptacle and plug the other end into a power outlet.
2. While holding the lid upside down, insert the froth whip and the whip holder onto gear shaft located in the center of the lid. Grasp shaft of the whip and firmly snap into place. If the whip has been removed from the whip holder, insert the whip into the whip holder after aligning its tabs and press down. Turn the whip clockwise to lock. Be sure that the whip holder is snapped and locked into place by pressing it firmly against the lid.

Note: The volume and texture of froth varies depending on the fat content of the milk. Whole milk produces good froth but at reduced volume. Fat free milk produces the greatest volume of froth.

1. For the optimal milk froth pour refrigerated milk (250 ml) up to the pitcher's FILL LINE. Frothing a volume of milk which is below or above the FILL LINE will not produce optimal froth quality or temperature. You can use fat free milk, low fat, reduced-fat milk or whole milk.

For thinner froth with less volume and more milk (e.g. for a latte), you may use up to an additional 125 ml of milk above the FILL LINE. For less volume and hotter milk and froth, you may use less milk. However, in this case you should use the manual OFF switch to stop the unit prior to its automatic shutoff. This will ensure that the milk and froth do not get too hot.

1. Place the lid upright on the frothing pitcher so that the narrow end of the flavour hatch is positioned just above the pitcher spout. Press and release the ON switch. This starts the frothing cycle and turns ON the operating lamp.

Never remove the lid while the appliance is operating.

1. Once the heating and frothing cycle is complete (about three minutes), the milk frother shuts off automatically and turns off. Allow about 30 – 60 seconds for the hot milk to settle. 250 ml milk result in appr. 550 – 600 ml milk froth.

Note: The heating and frothing cycle can be stopped anytime by pressing the OFF switch. This action also turns off the operating lamp. Pressing the ON switch will turn on the frothing cycle and light the operating lamp.

1. To prepare flavoured froth, hot chocolate, frothy drinks, dessert toppings, or desserts, you may add syrups, powders, sugar, sugar substitutes, or liqueurs to the milk. For details see >Recipes<.

After approximately 1½ minutes of frothing, or when the frothing pitcher begins to feel warm, press down on the flavour hatch so that it opens fully and the pouring channel is exposed. Pour desired amount of flavouring into the pitcher. Push back the end of the flavour hatch forward and down to close.

Note: As a safety feature, the milk frother cannot be restarted immediately after reaching its shut off temperature. Wait approximately three minutes for the appliance to cool off and then pour cold water into the pitcher.

If you prepare more froth than you require and the remaining froth in the pitcher has lost some of its richness, or the froth temperature has declined, you may refresh the froth to its original richness and temperature by simply pressing the ON switch.

1. Allow about 30 – 60 seconds for the hot milk to settle. Then, unplug the power cord, and using the spout, carefully pour the desired amount of hot milk for Cappuccinos, Lattes or other specialty drinks.

Remember that liquid milk heats to a higher temperature than froth. When serving to children, wait until the hot milk cools down slightly or stop unit early by pressing the OFF switch.

1. Remove the lid from the frothing pitcher, place the lid upside down on the counter to minimize any milk spillage, and then spoon out the rich froth.

Note: After use, clean your appliance following the >Care and cleaning< instructions.

Between consecutive cycles, the unit must be rinsed with cold water. Wait for approximately three minutes and then pour water into the pitcher. To help cool the pitcher, allow cold water to remain in the pitcher for a few minutes.

After 4 consecutive cycles, the appliance must be shut off for approximately 10 minutes.

Caution: Only liquids or powdered mixes can be used. Solid food items must not be used while the appliance is operating as they may cause damage to the froth whip.

Care and cleaning

Before first use and after each use, it is important that you clean your milk frother following the guidelines below. You should wait for approximately three minutes and then rinse the pitcher in cold water between consecutive cycles.

- ALWAYS UNPLUG POWER CORD FROM UNIT PRIOR TO CLEANING AND NEVER IMMERSE IN WATER.

- To allow the froth whip to be thoroughly cleaned, remove the lid from the frothing Pitcher and hold the lid with the whip facing upward. Remove the whip and tha whip holder by firmly grasping the whip holder and pulling outward and away from the lid. You may also remove the whip from the whip holder by securely grasping the whip holder with your thumb and forefinger and turning the whip counterclockwise one quarter turn. Carefully pull the whip out of the whip holder. Never remove the froth whip by pulling on the frothing blades.

- After each use the frothing pitcher, froth whip, and lid should be carefully washed with warm, soapy water using a soft cleaning brush or a sponge. All milk residue must be removed from the pitcher bottom. Rinse and dry with a soft towel.

- If washing needs to be delayed, pour a small amount of warm water into the frothing pitcher to soak. The water helps to prevent building up and drying of milk and flavourings on the glass surface. Leave water until ready to clean (following directions above).

- The milk frother should never be immersed in water, placed in an automatic dishwasher, or left in the sink.

- For thorough cleaning, it is recommended that the milk frother is occasionally operated with water to the FILL LINE and with a small amount of dishwashing detergent (optional). Rinse thoroughly. Run a second rinse cycle with water only.
