Frequently Asked Questions - MFF11 SMEG

How to clean the SMEG MFF11 chocolate maker?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Remove the whisk, carafe, lid and measuring cap. These parts can be washed in the dishwasher. The motor base should be wiped with a damp cloth, without abrasive detergents.

What programs are available?

The appliance offers 6 preset programs: hot chocolate, hot milk, hot milk with light or thick froth, cold milk with light or thick froth, and a manual mode (hot or cold) for customized control.

Why doesn't the milk froth?

Possible causes: milk not cold enough, residual water in the carafe, using the wrong whisk (use the serrated whisk for froth), or already heated milk. Make sure to use cold whole milk and a clean, dry carafe.

How to use manual mode?

For hot manual mode: select 'M' on the dial and press START/STOP. For cold mode: hold START/STOP for 3 seconds. The cycle stops automatically or you can interrupt it by pressing START/STOP again.

What to do if the appliance stops during operation?

Check that the carafe contains enough liquid (MIN level) and that the whisk is correctly installed. If the carafe was removed during the cycle, replace it. Ingredients that are too coarse may also block the whisk.

Can I heat milk without frothing it?

Yes, use the 'hot milk' program or manual mode with the smooth whisk. This function heats the milk without creating froth.

How to prepare hot chocolate?

Pour 250 ml of cold milk and 90 g of dark chocolate flakes into the carafe. Select the hot chocolate program (chocolate icon). Press START/STOP. The serrated whisk mixes and heats the chocolate.

What types of milk to use for good froth?

Whole milk gives the best froth. The milk should be cold, taken out of the refrigerator just before use. Semi-skimmed or skimmed milks produce less froth.

How to know when the cycle is finished?

A beep sounds and the indicator light goes off. You can then remove the lid and pour the preparation.

Can I add sugar or flavors during preparation?

Yes, remove the measuring cap and slowly add small ingredients like cocoa powder, instant coffee, or sugar. Be careful not to add too much to avoid blocking the whisk. It is recommended to add sugar at the end of the cycle.

USE (Fig. 1)

Recommendations for use

The result of the milk frother function may be affected by the ingredients used.

For a good result, it is recommended to use full-fat milk and to take it from the fridge immediately before pouring it into the carafe (2).

After a first heating cycle, wait for the appliance to cool down before starting another cycle.

Do not use the appliance without liquids. Starting the appliance without liquids could damage the pitcher.

Always fill up to the MIN level and not over the MAX level; both indicated inside the pitcher.

If the LED on the knob flashes and three acoustic signals are repeated twice, it means that the appliance is in error status.

The error status is shown if the pitcher or whisk are not present, the pitcher is removed during preparation or the cycle is started with the pitcher empty.

In the first two cases, the cycle does not start, while in the second two, the cycle starts but stops after a few seconds.

• Insert the plug into the power outlet.
• The LED (8) flashes, after approx. 120 seconds of inactivity the appliance goes to stand-by and the LED switches off.

Heat or froth the milk

• Remove the lid (4) and pour cold milk into the carafe (2), with reference to the level indications etched inside the carafe itself.
• Re-mount the lid (4).
• Select the desired program by turning the knob (7) in correspondence with the red notch on the knob lock nut.

From the stand-by phase, the appliance goes to processing phase.

• Press the START/STOP button (6) to start the cycle; the LED (8) will light up steadily.
• An acoustic signal and the LED (8) turning off indicate the end of the cycle.
• The cycle can be stopped early by pressing the START/STOP button (6).
• Remove the lid (4) by gripping the side tabs.
• Remove the carafe (2) and pour the frothed milk using a spoon.

It is recommended to add sugar or sweetening syrups (e.g., honey, agave syrup, maple syrup, etc.) at the end of the cycle.

Preparing hot chocolate

• Remove the lid (4) and pour the hot chocolate ingredients into the pitcher (2), referring to the level indicators printed inside the pitcher and the suggestions in the Smeg recipe.
• Select the corresponding program and proceed as described for milk.

During operation, you can remove the measuring cap (5) to add powdered ingredients.

We recommend adding powdered ingredients slowly and in small quantities a few moments after the

cycle starts, so that the milk begins to warm up. If dried ingredients are added too quickly or in large amounts, the whisk may stop or detach from its base.

Manual function

• Remove the lid (4) and pour milk into the pitcher (2), making sure to refer to the level markings printed inside the pitcher. Replace the lid (4).

Hot or cold cycles can be selected.

Hot Manual:

• To start the manual program (M) with heating function, press the START/STOP button. The LED (8) switches on with a fixed light; the whisk speed and temperature increase proportionally to the duration of the cycle. The user can stop the cycle by pressing the START/STOP button as soon as he decides the preparation is satisfactory.

Cold Manual:

• By holding the START/STOP button down for approximately 3 seconds, the whisk starts up to froth the milk without heating it, and the LED (8) flashes for the entire duration of the cycle. The user can stop the cycle by pressing the START/STOP button as soon as he decides the preparation is satisfactory.

• In both cases, after a certain period of time, the manual function is interrupted automatically to preserve the safety and functionality of the product.
• An acoustic signal and the switching off of the LED (8) indicate the end of the cycle.
• Successively, proceed according to that described for the milk.

During the working phase, it is possible to remove the measuring cap (5) to add powdered ingredients (e.g., soluble coffee, soluble cappuccino, soluble tea, etc.).
