   b) Frothing the cold milk: Pour the cold milk into the jug and push the under button then the indicator light on. After 60s the machine finishes working, the indicator light off and keeps flashing for 30s.

HINWEIS

PLEASE NOTE

▶ Please pour out the milk and the milk froth. By using a metal spoon or another object with sharp edges you risk damaging the coating of the pot.
▶ Only fill milk into the appliance.

18 Hints and Tips

• Always use your frother first to froth or heat your milk. While it is operating prepare your coffee or hot chocolate and serve immediately.
  • Use milk with fat content ≥ 1,5 % for best results.
• Cold milk can be frothed with this frother. But it doesn't mean you can cool down the milk with it. The frother works in normal temperature in this condition.
• Milk heats to approximately 65+/-5°C. This is the ideal temperature to ensure the flavor of your coffee is not impaired and so you don't have to wait too long until you can start sipping on your drink.
• Keep the whisks in a safe place. They are small and can easily be lost.
• After frothing or heating allow 2 minutes for the thermostat to reset and the frother to be ready for use again. To shorten this time, rinse with water and wipe dry after each use.
• The frother is designed to heat and froth milk. If you add flavorings, coffee granules or chocolate powder into the frother, ensure it is cleaned immediately and thoroughly after using.
