Frequently Asked Questions - SM 3588 SEVERIN

What types of milk can I use with the SM 3588 frother?

For best froth, use high-protein milk taken from the refrigerator just before use. Cold milk produces thicker froth.

How to prepare hot chocolate with this device?

Finely grate the chocolate (10-15 g for 150 ml milk, 25-30 g for 300 ml). Add it after the program starts while the milk is being mixed to avoid clogging the attachment.

What are the filling marks to observe?

The MIN mark corresponds to 75 ml (the protruding part must be covered). For frothing, do not exceed the MAX froth mark (150 ml). For mixing and heating, do not exceed the MAX mix and heat mark (300 ml).

How to clean the milk frother?

Unplug and let cool. The tank, lid, and mixing attachment can be washed in the dishwasher or with warm soapy water. The base should be wiped with a damp cloth, never immersed.

What to do if the milk does not froth and beeps sound?

Check that the mixing attachment is properly placed in the tank and that the tank is correctly positioned on the base. Insert the attachment, then restart.

The light ring flashes quickly after plugging in the device, what to do?

If the device has been used five times in a row without a break, unplug it and let it cool for 20 minutes. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

Can I use accessories other than the original ones?

No, the device must only be used with the original accessories supplied by the manufacturer to ensure safety and proper operation.

How to interrupt a running cycle?

Press the ⏻ (on/off) button to immediately stop the heating or mixing cycle.

What is the length of the power cord?

The cord is approximately 80 cm (estimate) and can be shortened by winding the excess under the base using the cable limit.

Preparation instructions

Milk froth:

• We recommend using milk with a high protein content. For best results, the milk should be taken from the refrigerator immediately before frothing.
• To achieve a thicker froth, go through a cold-frothing cycle first, followed by a hot-frothing cycle.
• When the milk froth is ready, remove the milk jug from the base immediately and pour it straight into the cup.

Hot chocolate / cocoa:

• To prepare drinking chocolate from milk and chocolate or cocoa.
• Grate the chocolate finely before preparation.
• Fill in the chocolate / cocoa only after the programme has started, when the milk is already being stirred. Otherwise, the stirring tool could jam.
• We recommend using the following amounts of chocolate:
  150 ml milk → approx. 10 - 15 g
  300 ml milk → approx. 25 - 30 g

Interrupting a cycle
