Frequently Asked Questions - SMAI 550 A1 SILVERCREST

How to prepare hot milk foam with the SMAI 550 A1?

Fill the jug with at least 130 ml and at most 350 ml of milk. Place the coil on the stirrer, close the lid, then press once for airy foam (symbol A) or twice for compact foam (symbol B). The appliance stops automatically.

Can I heat milk without frothing it?

Yes, select program C by pressing the on/off button 3 times. The maximum capacity is 500 ml. You can also add cocoa powder for hot chocolate.

How to clean the milk frother?

Let the appliance cool down. The jug is dishwasher safe. The lid, stirrer, coil, and seal must be hand washed with dish soap. Wipe the base with a damp cloth.

Why is my milk not frothing?

Make sure the coil is properly in place. Use cow's milk with at least 1.5% fat, preferably cold. Do not exceed the maximum capacity of 350 ml for foam.

What type of milk can I use?

This appliance is designed only for cow's milk. Plant-based milks froth poorly and may overflow. Use milk with a fat content of 1.5% to 3.5% for best results.

What to do if the appliance does not turn on?

Check that the plug is properly inserted and the jug is correctly placed on the base. If red symbols flash, the milk level is too low (minimum 130 ml). Contact customer service if the problem persists.

Can I use the frother for liquids other than milk?

No, the appliance is exclusively designed to heat and froth milk. Using other liquids may damage the appliance and void the warranty.

Does the jug get hot during use?

Yes, the jug becomes very hot. Always grasp it by the handle. Avoid touching metal parts. Do not leave the appliance unattended.

What is the warranty on this product?

The warranty is 3 years from the date of purchase. It covers material and manufacturing defects, but not normal wear. Keep your receipt.

Tips for frothing milk

■ Froth only cow's milk with this appliance. Other types of milk can only be frothed to a certain extent or may cause the appliance to overflow.

■ Low-fat milk might not froth as well. Therefore, use milk with a fat content of 3.5% or 1.5% when possible.

■ Well-cooled milk can be frothed better than warm milk.

■ Do not froth the milk a second time, otherwise it may burn.

Leave frothed milk to stand for about 30 seconds before you add the foam to cappuccino, espresso, etc. This allows the larger bubbles to burst and the still liquid milk sinks to the bottom. You can then use the fine foam.

Control panel

The control panel ⑦ is made up of the following components:

A : Programme for fluffy milk froth, red symbol
Programme for dense milk froth, red symbol
C. Programme for heating milk, red symbol
D Programme for cold milk froth, blue symbol

Cleaning and maintenance

DANGER – RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!

Before cleaning the appliance, disconnect the power plug from the mains power socket! Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock!

▶ Never open any parts of the housing. There are no serviceable parts whatsoever inside. When the housing is open, there is a risk of a potentially fatal electrical shock.

Never immerse the base ⑥ in water or other liquids!

WARNING – RISK OF INJURY!

▶ Allow the appliance to cool sufficiently before cleaning it. Risk of burns!

CAUTION - PROPERTY DAMAGE!

▶ Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents. These can attack the surface and damage the appliance beyond repair.

NOTE

▶ Ideally, clean the appliance directly after cooling, so that milk residues cannot dry onto it. For the first, rough cleaning, fill the jug ⑤ with water and a little detergent (the used whisk ③ is still fitted). Pay attention to the MIN and MAX marks. Start the appliance so that the whisk swirls through the water. Afterwards, rinse the appliance out with plenty of clean water.

■ Disassemble the appliance to clean it thoroughly:

• remove the spiral coil ④ from the appliance.
• Pull the sealing ring ② off the lid ①.

- Clean the lid ① and stirrer ③, sealing ring ②, spiral coil ④ and jug ⑤ in warm water with a mild detergent. Rinse all the parts thoroughly to remove any detergent residue. Dry all parts well.

NOTE

You can also clean the jug ⑤ in the dishwasher.

Wipe the base ⑥ with a damp cloth. For stubborn soiling, use a mild detergent on the cloth. Afterwards, wipe it with a cloth moistened only with fresh water to ensure that all detergent is removed. Dry the base well before using it again.

■ Reassemble the appliance:

• Push the sealing ring ② back onto the rim of the lid ①. Ensure that the small sealing lip on the sealing ring ② is facing outwards.
• Insert the spiral coil ④ into the slots of the whisk on the stirrer ③.
• Place the lid ① back onto the jug ⑤.

Storage

■ Store the cleaned appliance in a clean and dry location.
