Frequently Asked Questions - SMA 550 A1 SILVERCREST

How to froth milk with the SMA 550 A1?

Use the heating and frothing beater (double spiral). Fill the pitcher up to the lower MAX mark, close the lid, place on the base and press the on/off button. The appliance stops automatically when the foam is ready. Let it rest for 30 seconds before serving.

What type of milk is recommended for good foam?

Cow's milk with a fat content of 1.5% or 3.5% gives the best results. Cold milk froths better than warm milk. Avoid plant-based milks (soy, almond) which froth poorly or may overflow.

How to clean the milk frother?

Unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Remove the beater and the sealing ring from the lid. Wash all removable parts by hand with hot water and a little dish soap. Do not put in the dishwasher. Clean the base with a damp cloth.

What to do if the appliance does not turn on?

Check that the power plug is properly inserted and that the base is dry. If the pitcher is not correctly placed on the base, the appliance will not start. If the indicator light flashes, wait for the appliance to cool down (approx. 2 minutes). If the problem persists, contact after-sales service.

What is the difference between the two types of beaters?

The heating beater (single spiral) is used only to heat milk without foam. The heating and frothing beater (double spiral) can both heat and froth. Both beaters are supplied; one of each type is included.

How long does it take to heat or froth milk?

The time depends on the quantity and initial temperature. Generally, heating to 60-65°C takes about 2 to 4 minutes. Foam is ready in 3 to 5 minutes. The appliance stops automatically. Wait 2 minutes between two uses to avoid overheating.

Can I use the frother for something other than milk?

No, the appliance is designed only for cow's milk. Do not use it for other liquids (water, chocolate, soups) as this could damage the appliance or cause overflow.

What to do if the milk does not froth?

Make sure you have installed the heating and frothing beater (double spiral) and not the heating-only beater. Also check that you have not exceeded the MAX mark. Use cold milk with at least 1.5% fat content.

The indicator light flashes, what does that mean?

The flashing for about 30 seconds indicates the end of the cycle (heating or frothing finished). If the flashing persists, the appliance may need to cool down. Unplug and wait 2 minutes before using again.

How to store the milk frother?

Let the appliance cool down completely. Wind the cable around the cable winder under the base. Store unused beaters in the beater holder of the pitcher or in a dry place. Keep the appliance in a dry and dust-free location.

◆ Remove all packing material.
Clean the appliance as described in the section „Cleaning and Care“.

Disposal of the packaging

The packaging protects the appliance from transport damage. The packaging materials are selected from the point of view of their environmental friendliness and disposal technology and are therefore recyclable.

The recirculation of packaging into the material circuit saves on raw material and reduces the amount of waste generated. Dispose of packaging material that is no longer needed as per the regionally established regulations.

NOTICE

▶ If possible preserve the appliance's original packaging during the warranty period so that, in the event of a warranty claim, you can package the appliance ideally for its return.

Operation

DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!

▶ NEVER place the electrical plinth ⓘ in the vicinity of water - potentially fatal from electric shock!

WARNING - RISK OF PHYSICAL INJURY!

- For safety reasons you should not open the lid ① while the appliance is in operation. There is a risk of being scalded. - Always use fresh milk. Do not consume milk that has been standing in the carafe for some time.

NOTICE

If you lift the carafe off the plinth ⑥ during the preparation process, the appliance will stop. You will have to start the preparation process again by pressing the Start/Stop button ⑤.

Heating milk

1) Place the whisk for heating ⑧ onto the drive shaft inside the carafe. One of the whisks ④ not required can be clamped and stored in the whisk holder ②. Keep the other unused whisk ④ in a clean, dry place, for example in a cutlery drawer.
2) Take the carafe from the plinth ⑥ and pour the milk in. Thereby, fill it with as much milk as is needed so that at least the minimum mark inside the carafe is reached. However, never fill it with milk beyond the upper MAX-marking (○). If you do, the appliance may overflow.
3) Place the carafe on the plinth ⑥.
4) Put the lid ① on.
5) Press the Start/Stop button ⑤. The integrated indicator lamp glows. The whisk for heating ⑧ starts to rotate and thereby heats the milk uniformly.
6) The appliance switches off and the integrated indicator lamp glows for about 30 seconds as soon as the milk is heated to about 60 - 65°C.

NOTICE

▶ If you want to stop the preparation process before completion, press the Start/Stop button ⑤. If you press the Start/Stop button ⑤ again, the preparation process will continue.

7) Take the lid off ① and pour the hot milk into the desired container. Wait about 2 minutes before you heat up another portion of milk.

Frothing milk

Tips for the milk froth

■ Froth only cow's milk with this appliance. Other types of milk can be frothed only subject to limitations, or can cause the appliance to overflow.

■ Low fat or skimmed milk does not burn on as easily as whole milk, however, a too low fat content contributes to the risk that the milk will not be well frothed. Therefore, when possible use a milk with 3.5% or 1.5% fat content.

■ Well-cooled milk can be better frothed than less cold.

■ Do not froth the milk a second time, otherwise it may burn on.

Leave frothed milk to stand for about 30 seconds before you put the foam onto cappuccino, espresso, etc. Then the larger bubbles burst and the more liquid milk sinks to the bottom. You can then use the fine foam.

Producing frothed milk

1) Place the whisk for heating and frothing ④ onto the drive shaft inside the carafe. The whisk ⑧ not required can be clamped and stored in the whisk holder ②. The other whisk for heating and frothing ④ you can store in a dry and clean place.

2) Take the carafe from the plinth ⑥ and pour the milk in. Thereby, fill it with as much milk as is needed so that at least the minimum mark inside the carafe is reached. However, never fill it with milk beyond the upper MAX-marking ⑦) If you do, the appliance may overflow. When frothing, the milk volume multiplies itself manyfold!

3) Place the carafe on the plinth ⑥.

4) Put the lid ① on.

5) Press the Start/Stop button ⑤. The integrated indicator lamp glows. The whisk for heating and frothing ④ begins to rotate, it heats the milk and froths it.

6) The appliance switches off and the integrated indicator lamp glows for about 30 seconds as soon as the milk is frothed.

NOTICE

▶ If you want to stop the preparation process before completion, press the Start/Stop button ⑤. If you press the Start/Stop button ⑤ again, the preparation process will continue.

7) Wait about 30 seconds. In this time the still liquid milk flows to the bottom.

8) Remove the lid ① and pour the milk froth into the desired container to make, for example, a cappuccino.

Wait about 2 minutes before you heat up another portion of milk.

Using milk froth

You can use the milk froth for various drink variations:

Italian-style cappuccino

■ Pour an espresso (about 25 - 30 ml) into an approx. 120 - 180 ml cup.
■ Then pour milk froth onto it until the cup is filled to the brim.

Marocchino

■ Melt about a teaspoon of milk chocolate.
■ Spread the melted chocolate onto the inside wall of a glass and pour an espresso in.
■ Add 3 - 4 teaspoons of frothed milk and then sprinkle it with cocoa powder.

Vienna Melange

■ Pour about 125 ml of strong black coff ee into a mocha coff ee cup.
■ Froth up about 110 ml of milk and add as much milk froth as is needed to fill the cup to just below the rim.
■ Depending on personal taste, you can add a little sugar.

Cleaning and Care

DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!

▶ Before cleaning it, disconnect the plug from the mains power socket! Otherwise there is the risk of receiving an electric shock!
▶ NEVER open any housing parts. There are no user-serviceable elements inside. When the housing is open, there is the risk of receiving a potentially fatal electrical shock.

NEVER immerse the appliance in water or other liquids! This would bring about the risk of a potentially fatal electric shock upon the next use of the appliance should moisture be present in the voltage conducting elements.

WARNING - RISK OF PHYSICAL INJURY!

▶ Let the appliance cool down before cleaning it. Risk of burns!

WARNING - PROPERTY DAMAGE!

Do not clean the appliance or parts of it in the dishwasher! If you do so, the appliance will be damaged beyond repair.

▶ Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents. These can attack the surface and damage it beyond repair.

NOTICE

▶ Ideally, clean the appliance directly after cooling, so that milk residues can not dry onto it.

For the first coarse cleaning put some water and a little mild detergent into the carafe (the whisk used 4/8 is still fitted). Thereby, pay heed to the MIN and MAX - markings.

Start the appliance so that the whisk ploughs ④/⑧ through the water. Afterwards, rinse the appliance out with copious clean water.

For a thorough cleaning, proceed as follows:

■ Remove the whisk ④/⑧ from the appliance to clean it and clean the inside of the appliance with warm water. Add a little detergent. Wipe the interior with a soft cloth or sponge. Pay special attention to the area around the drive shaft. Afterwards, rinse the appliance out with copious clean water.

Pull the sealing ring ③ off of the lid ① and clean both parts in mild soapy water. Remove detergent residues with clean water and dry both parts well. Push the sealing ring ③ back onto the lid ①, so that the outwardly facing sealing lip is located at the bottom of the lid ① and the inwardly facing sealing lip engages in the groove of the lid ①.

- Clean the whisks ④/⑧ in mild soapy water and then rinse them well with clean water.

- Clean all exterior surfaces, the plinth ⑥ and the power cable with a damp cloth. In all cases, dry the appliance well before using it again. For stubborn soiling use a mild detergent on the cloth. Ensure that there are no detergent residues located on and in the appliance before taking it back into service.

Storage

■ Let the appliance cool down completely before putting it into storage.

Wrap the power cable around the cable winder ⑦ under the plinth ⑥.

■ Store the appliance at a dry location.
