(Black side up)22 ● Put the stainless steel tank on the base station and pour the milk into the stain- less steel tank. ● Insert the whisk between the black side and the spiral. WICHTIG! If the whisk holder is inserted below the spiral or the black side down, the unit will not opera- te. There are magnets on the lower side (below the spiral) of the whisk, which must face the bottom of the stainless steel container. Maximum filling quantity for use without frothing. Maximum filling quantity for producing creamy milk foam, e.g. for cappuccino. Maximum filling quantity for producing airier milk foam, e.g. for latte macciato. WICHTIG! ● The more milk you fill, the creamier the milk foam will be. ● Only fill the stainless steel container, never add liquids to the base station. ● The ‚MAX‘ marking only applies to whisking. Frothed milk expands and will cause the container to overflow if you fill it too much. ● Put the lid on the stainless steel tank. ● Press the upper button to froth milk. The button illuminates red. ● Make sure that the lid is properly seated.23

WICHTIG! If the lid is not fitted correctly or not fitted at all, the appliance will not work. ● The LED is illuminated as long as the unit is running. ● Open the cap after preparation has finished and pull it up. ● Take the stainless steel tank and pour or ladle the milk froth into a cup or glass. ● The heating element surface is subject to residual heat after use. WICHTIG! If the machine makes loud noises, stop the operation and remove the lid. Remove the whisk, clean it and put it back in (there are magnets on the bottom of the whisk, they must point to- wards the bottom) and continue to froth the milk. HOT CHOCOLATE / INSTANT DRINKS ETC. Using the milk frother, you can also prepare, warm milk, hot chocolate (either cold or warm) as well as instant drinks. ● Insert the blunger without spiral. ● Add all ingredients to the stainless steel tank. Comply with the “max” mark. ● Either press the top button to prepare warm drinks or the lower button to prepare cold drinks. CLEANING ● Clean the outer surfaces of the unit with a soft, damp cloth. In case of heavy soiling, a mild cleaning agent can be used. ● Caution: If the container becomes hot after use, allow it to cool down before cleaning. ● The stainless steel container is dishwasher safe. However, only put it in the dishwasher in the upper rack. The removable lid with whisk holder and the whisk as well as the basic appliance are not dishwasher-safe. ● Clean the removable lid with whisk holder and the whisk by hand with water and a mild detergent. ● Never immerse the basic appliance in water, but wipe it with a damp cloth to clean it.
