6. Before initial use

Remove the SMAS 3 A1 milk frother and all accessories from the packaging and check the completeness of the delivery. Keep the packaging material away from children and dispose of it in an environmentally-friendly manner.

7. Initial use

Before you prepare milk for consumption for the first time, you must first clean the milk frother in order to remove dust and any remnants of the packaging material. Follow the procedure described in the 'Cleaning' section.

7.1. Inserting the batteries

Insert the batteries as follows:

• Open the battery compartment (2) by twisting the lid anti-clockwise and removing it.
• Insert the batteries with the correct polarity (note the + and - signs). The polarity is marked on the batteries and in the battery compartment (2).
• Turn the lid clockwise on the battery compartment (2) until it is hand-tight in order to close the battery compartment (2).

7.2. Using the milk frother

Proceed as follows:

• Fill a tall container with the milk you want to froth. Make sure that you fill no more than one-third of the container.

• Pull off the protective cover (6).

• Dip the whisk (5) into the milk until it is slightly above the base of the container.

• Press down on the on/off button (1). The whisk (5) will rotate. The LED ring (4) lights up during operation.
• Swirl in a circular motion until you have created the desired volume of foam. While swirling, slowly and steadily raise the whisk (5). The whisk (5) must always remain within the milk.
• Let go of the on/off button (1) in order to switch off the milk frother. The LED ring (4) will turn off.
  Take the whisk (5) out of the milk as soon as it has come to a standstill.
• Remove the milk foam.
• Clean the milk frother as described in the 'Cleaning' section.

7.3. Tips on how to make good milk froth

We recommend using cow's milk. Other types of milk behave differently during the frothing process.
It is best to use milk with a fat content of between 1.5 and 3.5 per cent. Low-fat milk and skimmed milk do not froth well.
The milk should be cool.
If you want to make warm milk froth, the milk should not exceed a temperature of 60^ . Otherwise the milk does not froth.
If you find the milk froth to be too liquid, we recommend leaving it to rest for around 30 seconds. During this time, the liquid milk can sink down and the milk froth achieves a better consistency.

7.4. Changing the batteries

If the milk frother's performance declines or the device stops working, you need to replace the batteries. Proceed as follows to change the ear cushions:

• Open the battery compartment (2) by twisting the lid anti-clockwise and removing it.
• Remove the old batteries and dispose of them in an environmentally friendly manner.
• Insert the new batteries with the correct polarity (note the + and - signs). The polarity is marked on the batteries and in the battery compartment (2). Do not use different batteries (old and new, alkaline and carbon etc.) at the same time.
• Turn the lid clockwise on the battery compartment (2) until it is hand-tight in order to close the battery compartment (2).

8. Ideas for using milk froth

You can use your freshly made milk froth in various beverages.

We have included some recipes for you here.

Viennese Blend

Freshly brewed coffee

Hot milk

Milk froth

Place the same amount of freshly brewed black coffee and hot milk into a large cup until there is about one centimetre to the rim of the cup. Pour in the freshly made milk froth.

Latte Macchiato

150 ml milk for the milk froth

1 portion of espresso (25 - 30ml)

Use the milk to make fresh milk froth and pour the froth into a latte macchiato glass until the glass is three quarters full. Next, slowly and carefully pour the espresso into the milk froth. Those who like strong coffee can add an extra portion of espresso at this stage. Ideally, the espresso has now collected in the centre. The liquid milk is at the bottom and the top of the drink is crowned by a thick layer of froth. If there is any leftover milk froth and space in the glass, you can carefully add it to the rest of the milk froth.

Carajillo - A Spanish drink combining coffee with a shot

1 cup of espresso

1 cl brandy or rum

1-2 cl egg liqueur

1 heaped teaspoon of fine cane sugar

Milk froth

Stir the espresso with the brandy and dissolve the cane sugar in it. Put the egg liqueur into a large glass and then very slowly slide the espresso over a spoon onto the egg liqueur. This creates two layers in the glass. Fill the glass with the freshly made milk froth.

Coffee with nut nogat cream

1 cup of freshly brewed coffee

2 teaspoons of nut nougat cream

Milk froth

Stir the nut nogat cream directly into the freshly brewed coffee, provided it is still very hot. Pour in the freshly made milk froth.

If you like, you can stir some chilli powder into your coffee and sprinkle a little bit onto the milk froth.

Enjoy!
