Recommendations for use
The result of the milk frother function may be affected by the ingredients used.
For a good result, it is recommended to use full-fat milk and to take it from the fridge immediately before pouring it into the carafe (2).
After a first heating cycle, wait for the appliance to cool down before starting another cycle.
Do not use the appliance without liquids. Starting the appliance without liquids could damage the pitcher.
Always fill up to the MIN level and not over the MAX level; both indicated inside the pitcher.
If the LED on the knob flashes and three acoustic signals are repeated twice, it means that the appliance is in error status. The error status is shown if the pitcher or whisk are not present, the pitcher is removed during preparation or the cycle is started with the pitcher empty. In the first two cases, the cycle does not start, while in the second two, the cycle starts but stops after a few seconds.

• Insert the plug into the power outlet.
