BMF600 The Milk Cafe Milk Frother

Product Information

The BMF600 is a milk frother that can froth hot milk to create a variety of café-style drinks such as cappuccinos and lattes. The product has two frothing discs, a ‘Cappuccino’ disc and a ‘Latte’ disc, and comes with a dishwasher- safe milk jug with a measuring cap and jug lid. The product has a START/STOP push-dial and an LED indicator to control the temperature of the milk.

The product is rated for 220-240V ~50/60Hz 500W and has been tested to comply with the limits for ISM equipment. The product  generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and may cause harmful interference to radio communications if not used in accordance with the instructions.

The product should not be disposed of in normal household  taste and should be taken to a local authority waste collection center designated for this purpose or to a dealer providing this service.

Product Usage Instructions

Insert the desired frothing disc onto the shaft at the base of the milk jug. Ensure the disc is inserted correctly with the wider part of the disc at the bottom of the jug. The disc should ‘click’ securely onto the shaft.

1. Pour the required amount of cold, fresh (or freshly opened) milk into the milk jug then cover with the jug lid. Ensure the jug lid is securely attached.
2. Place the milk jug onto the power base.
3. Turn the START/STOP push-dial to the desired temperature.
4. Never operate without the minimum level of liquid in the milk jug. The milk frother will automatically turn off if the milk jug is empty. If this occurs, wait for the milk frother to cool down before reuse.
5. After use, remove the milk jug from the power base and pour the frothed milk into a cup.
6. To clean, ensure the product is unplugged and allow it to cool completely. Remove the frothing disc from the milk jug and wash both in warm, soapy water or in a dishwasher. Do not immerse the power base, power cord or power plug in water or allow moisture to come into contact with these parts. Use a damp cloth to wipe the power base and cord wrap.
7. The frothing disc is a choking hazard, and children must always be supervised and never left unattended with the appliance.

FROTHING HOT MILK

1. Place the milk frother on a flat level surface and plug the power cord into a 220–240V power outlet. The START | STOP button surround will illuminate.

2. Select the ‘Capp’ or ‘Latté’ frothing disc. Choose the ‘Capp’ disc for thick and creamy froth or the ‘Latté’ disc for smooth and silky milk.

3. Insert the frothing disc onto the shaft at the base of the milk jug. Ensure the disc is inserted the correct way with the wider part of the disc at the bottom of the jug. The disc should ‘click’ securely onto the shaft.
   NOTE
   If the disc is not inserted correctly it may dislodge during operation, a grinding noise may be heard, or milk will not swirl.
   WARNING
   Frothing disc is a choking hazard. Children must always be supervised and never left unattended with the appliance.

4. Pour the required amount of cold, fresh (or freshly opened) milk into the milk jug then cover with the jug lid.

5. Ensure the jug lid is securely attached. Place the milk jug onto the power base.

6. Turn the START / STOP push-dial to the desired temperature.

7. Only press the START / STOP push-dialonce, fi rmly. Frothing has started once the milk frother beeps once and the button surround slowly flashes.
   NOTE
   Do not remove the milk jug from the power base during operation. Doing so may dislodge the frothing disc and cause a grinding noise. Always press the centre of the START / STOP push-dial before removing the jug. Operation has stopped once the button surround has stopped fl ashing.
   WARNING
   Appliance surfaces will be hot during and after operation.

8.  Clean the milk jug and frothing discimmediately after use. Refer to Care & Cleaning.
   NOTE
   When frothing multiple batches, to prevent the Boil Dry Protection from activating, we recommend allowing the milk jug to cool for approximately 5 minutes, or filling the milk jug with water for faster cooling.

USING THE ‘COLD STIR’ SETTING

The ‘Cold Stir’ setting allows you to stir already cold or hot milk without additional heat. Use it to froth milk for cold beverages such as an iced cappuccino; to blend in syrups and flavourings for an iced chocolate or mocha; or to stir in dissolvable instant drinking powders into milk or water. NOTE
He milk frother has been designed specifically for the purpose of foaming milk and other dairy milk alternatives and is not intended to whip, thicken or heat other food substances eg. oil, eggs, butter, heavy whipping cream, soups, gravies etc. The milk frother is not designed to mix a large quantity of dry ingredients or melt large food pieces eg. cubed chocolate, ground nuts, whole spices, fresh herbs or ice cubes.

ADDING INGREDIENTS
Always allow the milk frother to start for a few seconds before using the measuring cap to gradually add ingredients. Always add ingredients slowly and in small quantities. NOTE
Frothing results differ depending on the
ingredients used. For example, adding
dense ingredients like thick syrups, heavy
powders and large flakes can significantly
reduce the amount of foam.

SAFETY FEATURES

Boil Dry, Overheating Protection

The milk frother will automatically cease to operate if the milk jug overheats. This can be caused if the milk jug is empty, if liquid is below the MIN measurement marking, or  after consecutive uses. If this occurs, 3 alerts will sound. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet, wait approximately 5 minutes for the milkfrother to cool down or fill the milk jug with water for faster cooling.

Thermal Fuse & Current Protection

This feature protects the milk frother in case of major fault. If this occurs, the milk frother will automatically turn off and will not reactivate. Immediately cease use, remove the power plug from the power outlet and visit www.sageappliances.com or call Sage Consumer Service.

CARE & CLEANING FOR YOUR SAGE MILK CAFÉ

Both the milk jug and frothing disc should be cleaned immediately after each use to prevent build-up of milk residue.

1. Unplug the power cord from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. The milk jug and frothing disc will be hot immediately after use, so carefully remove the milk jug from the power base and fill with tap water. Once the milk jug and frothing disc have cooled completely, remove the frothing disc and rinse off any milk in warm water.
3.  Wash the milk jug, jug lid, measuring cap and frothing disc in warm soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly. The seal from the lid can be removed and washed separately.
4. Wipe the exterior of the power base with a soft damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

NOTE

• Do not use alkaline or abrasive cleaning agents, steel wool or scouring pads on any part of the milk frother as these can damage the appliance surfaces.
• Never immerse the power base in water or any other liquid. The outside of the milk jug must always be clean and dry before placing on the power base prior to use.
• The milk jug, jug lid, measuring cap and frothing discs can be washed in the dishwasher (top shelf only). However to extend the life of the frothing discs, we recommend these are washed by hand.

TROUBLESHOOTING

fresh (or freshly opened) milk.

•  Do not re-foam already heated milk.

•  Try reducing the quantity of milk in the milk jug.
