Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances
The appliance is driven electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket to connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (230 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for at least 10 A).
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommended. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meet the requirements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad, ensure that safe operation is possible.
- Do not to use any external timer, remote control systems, or desk top multi socket outlets. It is best to avoid using extension cords, but if you wish to use one, only use an extension cord rated for a maximum continuous current of at least 10 A (or 1500 W) with protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly.
- Always handle power cords with care. Always completely unwind the power cord before use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted, pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces or sharp edges. Ensure that no one will pull the appliance by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord. Do not touch the appliance or power plug with wet hands when the appliance is connected to the power supply.
- DO NOT let any liquids run down the exterior of the jug, when the jug is mounted on the power base. Do not place the jug on the power base, when the exterior of the jug is wet. Otherwise liquid could run into the power
base. When liquids are spilled on the power base or power cord, immediately unplug the appliance. Thereafter, clean the appliance and let it dry for at least 1 day (see 'Care and Cleaning').
High Temperatures—Risk of Burns
The Milk Frother is designed for frothing and heating milk, and therefore milk, jug, lid, and measuring cup can get very hot during operation and shortly thereafter. Please keep this in mind to avoid scalds and damage.
- Do not touch jug, lid and measuring cup of the appliance with your hands, arms or any other parts or your body or any heat-sensitive or moisture-sensitive objects. Do not place the jug on any heat-sensitive surfaces shortly after operation. Only touch the jug and lid at the handles (e.g. handle of the jug, finger hole at the lid) during operation and shortly thereafter.
- Even with the lid properly closed, steam could escape from the lid during operation and shortly thereafter. Condensate could accumulate under the lid and measuring cup and drip, when pouring out the contents of the jug, or when opening the lid.
- Do not cook any high-proof alcoholic liquid or alcoholic foodstuffs (e.g. mulled wine, grog) within the appliance to avoid risk of explosion and fire.
Moving Parts
The stirrer of the appliance is driven electrically via a magnet. Thus, you should always avoid inserting your hands, or any delicate objects in the jug, when the jug is placed on the power base and the appliance is connected to the power supply.

Properties of Your New Milk Frother
Your new Milk Frother has been designed specifically for the purpose of foaming milk and milk alternatives.
IMPORTANT: The appliance is NOT intended to thicken or heat other food substances (e.g. custards, soups, gravies), or to whip cream or egg white. Additionally, the appliance is not intended to mix a large quantity of dry and/or solid ingredients (e.g. ground nuts, spices, flour, cacao powder, herbs) or melt large pieces of food (e.g. chocolate or butter).
The frothing discs are driven contact-less via magnets. No opening for a drive shaft is necessary in the jug, thus avoiding weak points and leaks. As a result, cleaning is made much easier, too. Additionally, the frothing discs, jug, lid and measuring cup are dishwasher-safe (upper rack only).
Due to the seal at the brim of the lid, the contents will not drip or splash out of the jug, when operated correctly. Further ingredients are added via the opening for the measuring cup without removing the lid.
Safety Concept
For your protection and convenience, your new Milk Frother offers an innovative design.
• After 30 seconds of being idle the Milk Frother will switch off automatically and the indicator goes out. To start operation again, simply press the START/STOP button.
• Overheat Protection: The Milk Frother will automatically cease to operate, if the jug overheats. Possible reasons:
- The jug is empty, or liquid is below the MIN filling mark.
– Consecutive uses without sufficiently pausing.
In this case, immediately unplug the appliance and wait at least 5 minutes for the appliance to cool down. Thereafter, you can activate the appliance again.
- Thermal Cut-Out: This feature means protection for you and the appliance in case of serious malfunction. The appliance will no longer be able to operate. In this case, immediately unplug the appliance, and send the appliance and all parts of it to an authorized service centre for repair.
- The appliance operates via an induction heating system and a magnetic stirring system. Thus, injuries are avoided as far as possible, because you cannot unintentionally touch any heated or moving parts in the power base. Just keep in mind that the jug is heated and thus, everything touched by the hot jug will get hot, too. Therefore, after operation and removing the jug, let the power base cool down for some minutes, before moving or cleaning.
Tips for Best Results
• Always use cold, fresh (or freshly opened) milk.
- For optimum frothing results, do not exceed the CAPP LATTE MAX (500 ml) filling mark inside the jug. Generally, you will get more froth, when processing various small portions.
- Wait until the appliance warmed up the milk, before adding further ingredients.
• Pour frothed milk promptly to avoid the milk from separating.
- Do not reheat frothed milk that has not been used immediately.
- Ensure jug and frothing disc are clean before each use. When consecutively preparing various portions, always flash out the jug with cold tap water, before frothing the next portion of milk.
- Avoid adding sugary powders when using 'COLD STIR' setting. Toppings and syrups work best.
- For cappuccino or latté, we recommend staying within the 'OPTIMUM MILK TEMP' range (55 °C to 65 °C), however this is up to your personal preference.
- Different frothing results may be achieved depending on various influences. Experiment with different milk options, ingredients, temperatures and frothing discs to achieve the desired result.
- Milk alternatives: use fresh milk or UHT milk (e.g. cow, sheep or goat) or milk substitutes (e.g. soy, oat or almond) with various fat content. However, using low fat milk will provi de somewhat more silky froth.
- Further ingredients: acidity and fat content of the ingredients have a great effect on frothing. Adding powdery ingredients could in some cases prevent the build-up of froth (e.g. cacao powder).
As an example, you can add the following ingredients: cacao powder, mixtures for chocolate drinks and chai tea, flakes of chocolate, syrups (e.g. of maple, berries, woodruff), honey.
- Even the time of adding ingredients can be of great effect on the results. Some ingredients (e.g. cacao) prevent the milk from frothing. You should add ingredients like this after frothing.
- You can prepare various recipes. Examples: hot and iced chocolate, coffee recipes (cappuccino, latté, chai-latté, ice coffee, ice mocha).
- If you wish to froth cold milk, just turn the selector dial to COLD STIR, before switching on the appliance. Generally, the best results are achieved within 1 minute. Therefore, the appliance stops automatically after 1 minute.

WARNING! Always unplug the appliance, before cleaning. Do not immerse the power base or power cord in water or other liquids or spill any liquids on the power base or power cord. Do not place the power base or power cord in an automatic dishwasher.
- Before first use and after a longer period of storage, clean the appliance and its parts (see: 'Care and Cleaning').
Operation
WARNING: Always ensure that the appliance and all its parts and accessories are out of reach of young children. This holds especially for the frothing discs that could be swallowed by young children, thus causing risk of suffocation.
The appliance is intended for heating and mixing milk and milk surrogates (e.g. cow milk, soy milk). Therefore, the jug can get very hot during operation. Always observe the following safety precautions to avoid injuries and damage:
- With the jug mounted on the power base and/or the appliance is connected to the power supply: Do not insert your hands or any foreign objects (e.g. cooking utensils, clothes) in the jug. Always prepare the jug completely for operation (frothing disc inserted, filled, lid and measuring cup inserted), before placing it on the power base.
Do not drip any liquids on the exterior of the jug or in the power base. Immediately wipe off spilled liquids. When liquids come out from under the lid, run down at the exterior of the appliance and/or accumulate under the appliance, immediately unplug the appliance to avoid injuries and damage caused by electricity. Clean and dry the appliance, according to the instructions in section Care and Cleaning.
- During operation and shortly thereafter: Only touch the jug or lid at the designated handles. Do not hold your hands or face over the appliance. Steam could escape from under the lid. Additionally, condensate could accumulate under the lid and measuring cup and drip, when opening the lid. Do not remove the lid or jug, while the appliance is working (indicator is blinking), to avoid overflow and overheating. Add further ingredients via the opening in the lid, where the measuring cup is placed. Always switch OFF (press START/STOP button once) the appliance or wait until it stops working automatically (acoustic signal sounds twice, indicator is illuminated continuously or goes out), before removing the jug. Place the jug on a stable, level, moisture-resistant, and heat-resistant surface, before removing the lid. Keep the hot jug away from heat-sensitive objects.
- Only use the appliance for food. Do not process thick mixtures, solid, or high-proof alcoholic foodstuffs. The appliance is NOT suited for melting, mixing or chopping solid ingredients.
Preparing the Appliance
WARNING: Only place the appliance on a stable, dry, level, and clean surface. Do not place the appliance on inclined surfaces. Do not place any clothes or tissue or other foreign objects on or under the appliance during operation, to avoid risk of fire or electric shock. Do not block the ventilation slots at the bottom and rear of the power base. During operation, the operating elements (see: Knowing Your Latté Art Milk Frother Advanced) must be accessible any time.
Before assembling the appliance, always ensure that all parts and accessories you wish to use are in proper working order (e.g. not cracked, chapped, broken or distorted). Do not use any damaged or unsuitable parts to avoid risk of injuries and damage.
Do not operate the appliance with the filling level below the MIN filling mark or exceeding the MAX filling mark. Ensure not to spill any liquids on the power base. The jug must always be clean and dry, when placed on the power base to avoid risk of electric shock or damage.
- Place the power base on a flat, stable, moisture-resistant and heat-resistant surface near a suitable wall power outlet (see: Important Safeguards) with the START/STOP push dial facing to you. Leave at least 10 cm of free space to walls, curtains, boards and other objects on each side of the appliance. Leave at least 50 cm of free space above the appliance to get unhindered access. Ensure that the appliance is unplugged.
-
Select the appropriate frothing disc and insert it in the jug.
-
select the cappuccino frothing disc (like a cogwheel) for thick and creamy froth.
– select the latté frothing disc (smoothly shaped) for silky and smooth milk.
Put the frothing disc on the shaft in the middle of the jug. For this, the level side of the frothing disc must face downwards. Press the frothing disc gently down, until it tangibly engages on the shaft.
-
Fill the desired amount of cold fresh milk in the jug. For this, always observe the filling marks within the jug.
-
The filling level must lay above the MIN filling mark (at least 200 ml).
- If you wish to froth milk (e.g. for cappuccino or latté), then the filling level may not exceed the CAPP LATTE MAX filling mark (approx. 500 ml).
- If you wish to prepare cacao, the filling level may reach the HOT CHOC MAX filling mark, because cacao is scarcely frothing.
Even if you wish to add further ingredients during operation, always observe the MAX filling level, therefore starting with a smaller amount.
- Place the lid onto the jug and press it down gently to avoid leaking.
- Place the measuring cup into the lid. For this, turn the measuring cup a little until it slips down into the opening of the lid. The brim of the measuring cup may not protrude the lid. Then turn the measuring cup to lock it in the lid. Otherwise, the measuring cup could fall out later.
WARNING: Do not place the jug on the power base, when the jug is wet to avoid risk of electric shock and damage. Always keep the exterior of the jug dry and clean, when it is mounted on the power base.
- Ensure that the exterior of the jug is clean and dry. Then place the jug on the power base. The appliance is ready for operation now.
Frothing Milk
- Connect the appliance to the power supply.
The indicator in the START/STOP push dial illuminates.
Tip: After being idle for 30 seconds the Milk Frother will enter standby mode (indicator goes out, fan stops working). Simply press the START/STOP button once to re-activate the appliance.
- Turn the selection dial to the desired temperature. See: Tips for Best Results If temperature setting is changed during operation, the appliance will stop at the new temperature.
Tip: The function COLD STIR leaves the heating system deactivated while the stirrer is agitating. For instance, use this function to prepare cold drinks. The appliance will stop automatically after 1 minute.
WARNING: Especially when selecting high temperatures, the exterior of the jug will become very hot. Ensure, not to get scald by steam and condensate. Only touch the jug and lid at the handles to avoid scalding. Do not hold your hands or face over the jug during operation and shortly thereafter.
- Press the START/STOP button to switch on the appliance.
The appliance starts working, an acoustic signal sounds once, and the indicator starts to flash. Depending on the used quantity of milk and the selected temperature, the appliance will take between 2 and 8 minutes to reach the adjusted temperature.
Note: Do not remove the jug or the lid during operation. To stop operation at any time, press the START/STOP button once. An acoustic signal sounds twice and the indicator is illuminated continuously.
Even after switching OFF, the fan of the appliance continues working audibly, and the indicator illuminates continuously. This does NOT mean that stirrer and heater are still operating. After 30 seconds without operation the fan will shut down automatically and the indicator goes out.
WARNING: Do not place the hot jug on a heat-sensitive or inclined surface where it can tilt or fall. Beware of hot liquid, condensate and steam, when opening the lid and pouring out the contents.
Due to the contact with the hot jug, the mounting of the jug in the power base could be slightly hot. Let the power base cool down for some minutes, before touching the upper sides of the power base.
-
Carefully remove the jug from the power base as the jug and contents could be hot. Place the jug on a heat-resistant level surface.
-
Holding the jug by the handle, remove the lid. Then pour out the frothed milk. Use a wooden or plastic spoon (e.g. cocktail spoon with especially long handle) to take out the froth.
-
Flush out the jug with cold tap water immediately after emptying.
-
If you wish to prepare another portion of milk, just continue as described in this section.
-
After you have processed your milk as desired, unplug the appliance.
-
Clean the appliance and all used parts and accessories immediately after use. Do not let any food dry on the surfaces (see: 'Care and Cleaning').
Adding Further Ingredients
WARNING: Ensure not to spill any liquids on the appliance, when adding further ingredients through the opening in the lid. Do not overfill the jug. Do not remove the lid, while the appliance is operating. Always pour further ingredients through the opening for the measuring cup. Otherwise the jug could overflow, and liquid could drip on the power base, causing electrical hazard.
Additionally, the contents of the jug could splash, when pouring in further ingredients. Thus, do not hold your face over the opening in the lid while the stirrer is agitating. Keep delicate objects in sufficient distance from the appliance.
It is best to slowly add further ingredients with the stirrer operating and after the appliance has slightly warmed up the milk (some seconds up to 1 minute). This way, the ingredients are mixed evenly and you get the best results. Prefer liquids rather than solid ingredients (e.g. sugar syrup is better than caster sugar). Whenever possible, dissolve solid ingredients in a small amount of milk (e.g. caramel) and/or melt it (e.g. butter or chocolate).
- Remove the measuring cup from the lid. For this, turn the measuring cup until you can lift it up and out.
You can use the measuring cup for measuring out the required amount (up to 30 ml).
- Slowly pour the ingredients into the opening in the lid.
Always pour slowly and in small quantities, to avoid splashes and achieve an even mixture. Additionally, adding ingredients too quickly may cause the frothing disc to dislodge or stop spinning.
- Turn the measuring cup upside down, and insert the measuring cup in the opening in the lid. The bottom of the measuring cup must be on a level with the top of the lid. Turn the measuring cup to lock it in the lid.
