Operation DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! ► NEVER place the electrical plinth 6 in the vicinit y 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 oper ation. There is a risk of being scalded. ► Always use fresh milk. Do not consume milk that has been standing in the car afe for some time. NOTICE ► If you lift the carafe off the plinth 6 during the pr eparation 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, fi ll it with as

much milk as is needed so that at least the minimum mark inside the carafe is reached. However, never fi ll it with milk beyond the upper MAX-marking

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 Star t/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.43 SMA 550 A1

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 overfl ow. ■ Low fat or skimmed milk does not burn on as easily as whole milk, however, a too lo w 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, espr esso, etc. Then the larger bubbles burst and the more liquid milk sinks to the bottom. You can then use the fi ne 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, fi ll it with as

much milk as is needed so that at least the minimum mark inside the carafe is reached. However, never fi ll it with milk beyond the upper MAX-marking (

If you do, the appliance may overfl ow. When frothing, the milk volume multi- plies itself manyfold!

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 Star t/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 fl ows 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.44 SMA 550 A1

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 fi lled 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 espr esso 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 fi ll the cup to just belo w the rim. ■ Depending on personal taste, you can add a little sugar.45 SMA 550 A1

Cleaning and Care DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! ► Before cleaning it, disconnect the plug from the mains power socket! Other wise 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, ther e 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 y ou do so, the appliance will be damaged beyond repair. ► Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents. These can attack the sur face and damage it beyond repair. NOTICE ► Ideally, clean the appliance directly after cooling, so that milk residues can not dr y onto it. For the fi rst coarse cleaning put some water and a little mild detergent into the carafe (the whisk used 4/8 is still fi tted). 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 fr om 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 seal- ing lip engages in the groove of the lid 1.46 SMA 550 A1

■ 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 po wer 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.
