Frequently Asked Questions - KESMK4MH KITCHENAID

How to assemble the milk frother on my KitchenAid espresso machine?

Insert the milk dispenser tube into the storage container. Fill the reservoir with cold milk (max 17 oz). Align the machine's steam wand with the frother and push until it clicks. Refer to the Product Assembly section for details.

How to clean the milk frother after each use?

Remove the milk reservoir and place it in the refrigerator. Wipe the outside of the milk tube with a damp cloth. Place the tube in a cup of clean water and run the last program to rinse the system. Wash the removable parts with warm soapy water.

What to do if the machine does not dispense milk?

Check that the milk tube and connector are properly assembled. Consult the Product Assembly section to ensure everything is securely attached.

How to adjust the milk frothing level?

Turn the frothing level adjustment knob (located on the frother) during the cycle. Start with a 90° rotation from the desired position. The adjustment is continuous.

Can I use the milk frother with other brands of espresso machines?

No, this frother is designed specifically for KitchenAid espresso machines with a compatible steam wand. Use with other brands may cause safety hazards.

How to program custom milk or water quantities?

Select the function (steam for milk or water for hot water) and the quantity (1 or 2). Hold down the ▶ button on the machine until the desired volume is dispensed. The setting is saved automatically.

What to do if I cannot select steam or hot water?

Make sure the milk frother is firmly attached to the steam wand. If the problem persists, consult the Product Assembly section or contact KitchenAid customer service.

How to descale the milk frother?

The manual does not mention specific descaling. For deep cleaning, disassemble the parts and wash them with warm soapy water or a milk frother cleaning solution. Rinse thoroughly.

Is the milk frother compatible with plant-based milk?

The manual does not specify. It is recommended to use cold milk for optimal frothing. Plant-based milks may yield variable results.
