Frequently Asked Questions - SM 9495 SEVERIN

What types of milk can I use with the Severin SM 9495 milk frother?

You can use whole milk, semi-skimmed or skimmed. Whole milk gives a creamier foam. Plant-based milks (soy, almond) can also be used, but the foam may be less firm.

How to clean the milk frother?

Detach the whisk and carafe. Wash them by hand with warm soapy water or in the dishwasher (top rack). Wipe the base with a damp cloth. Never immerse the base in water.

Can I heat milk without frothing it?

Yes, the Severin SM 9495 frother allows you to heat milk without foam. Use the corresponding program (without activating the whisk).

What is the maximum capacity of the frother?

The carafe capacity is 300 ml. Do not exceed the MAX mark to avoid overflow during frothing.

Does the frother stop automatically?

Yes, the appliance has an automatic shut-off once the heating or frothing cycle is complete. It also turns off in case of overheating.

Can I use the frother to make hot chocolate?

Yes, you can heat milk with chocolate or cocoa. Stir first to dissolve the powder, then start the heating cycle.

Is the whisk removable?

Yes, the whisk detaches easily from the carafe for cleaning. Simply pull gently.

What to do if the foam is not firm enough?

Use whole milk well chilled (refrigerated) for better foam. Make sure the whisk is correctly installed and the carafe is not too full.

Can the frother be used with plant-based milks?

Yes, plant-based milks (soy, almond, oat) can be frothed. Results vary depending on the protein content of the milk.

Where can I buy spare parts?

Spare parts such as the whisk or carafe are available from Severin customer service or on the official website.

Storing accessories

The stirring and heating accessories may be stored in the lid. First, put the smooth collar in with its opening facing up, and then fit the serrated head inside.

Operation

We recommend using milk with a high protein content. For best results, the milk should be taken from the refrigerator immediately before frothing.

The underside of the container and the contact area on the inside of the base must be clean and dry.

Choosing the stirring head

• For frothing and heating milk at the same time, use the serrated head.
• For simply heating milk, put the serrated stirring head in the collar, making sure they are fitted inside the container with the collar facing down.

Fill amounts

Always observe the minimum mark and ensure the container is filled with at least 60ml milk.

• For frothing, fill the container to a maximum of 120ml (lower max mark).
• For heating, fill the container to a maximum of 180 ml (upper max mark

Heating or frothing milk

• Place the container onto the base.
