Setting up

• If you have not already done so, unwind the mains cable completely from around the cable retainer 11 and guide it through the notch on the base 10.
• Place the appliance on a dry and level surface. Ensure that the mains plug is within easy reach.
• Push the whisk 3 on the drive shaft inside the container 4.
• Insert the plug into a mains power socket.

The appliance is now ready for use.

Tips for good frothy 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 or skimmed milk does not burn on as easily as whole milk; how-ever, if the fat content is too low, there is a risk that the milk will not froth well. You should therefore use milk with a fat content of 3.5% or 1.5%when possible.
• Chilled 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. During this time the larger bubbles burst and the still-liquid milk sinks to the bottom. You can then use the fine foam.

Operation

DANGER!
Risk of fatal injury from electrocution! Ensure that the base 0 containing the electrical connections never comes into contact with liquids!

CAUTION!
For safety reasons, you should not open the lid 1 while the appliance is in operation. There is a risk of scalding.

• Parts of the appliance get hot during use! Therefore, touch the heated appliance only by the handle.
• Always use fresh milk. Do not consume milk which has been standing in the container 4 for extended periods.
• Note: If you want to stop the preparation process before it is finished, press the function button 9 or remove the appliance from the base 0. You will have to reselect the programme when you resume the prepara-tion process.
• Remove the container 4 from the base 10 and fill it with milk. Add at least enough milk to reach the MIN mark (= 70 ml) inside the container 4. However, do no fill it with milk beyond the corresponding MAX marking, otherwise the appliance will overflow:
  • Up to the lower MAX marking (= 150 ml), if you want to froth milk.
  • Up to the upper MAX marking (= 300 ml), if you only want to heat the milk (with only a little froth).
• Put the lid 1 on.
• Place the container 4 on the base 10.
  • Note: There is a notch on the lid 1 near the sealing ring 2. Make sure that the notch is not directly next to the spout of the container 4. Otherwise, milk may leak through the opening. Turn the notch to another position on the container wall.
• Use the function button 9 to select the appropriate programme:

• Once a programme is selected by pressing the function button 9, the corresponding control lamp 5/6/7/8 lights up continuously.

• The control lamp 5/6/7/8 indicates the end of the programme by flashing. The appliance switches off automatically. If you want to stop the preparation process before it is finished, press the function button 9 or remove the appliance from the base 10. You will have to reselect the programme when you resume the preparation process.

• Once the control lamp 5/6/7/8 stops flashing, remove the lid 1
  and pour the milk/milk froth into the desired container.

• ATTENTION! If the milk froth does not pour well, you can use a spoon. However, when doing so, make sure you do not scratch the non-stick coating on the interior of the container 4 with the metal of the spoon!

• Allow the appliance to cool down for around 2–3 minutes before you heat up another portion of milk.

• Note: The overheating protection may cause the appliance to turn off immediately after selecting a programme. Allow the appliance to cool down and, if necessary, add chilled milk before reselecting the programme.

If you start a programme when the container 4 is empty, the boil-dry protection device switches the appliance off. You need to add milk and then reselect the programme.

Recipe ideas

You can use the milk froth for a range of drink variations such as:

Italian-style cappuccino

• Pour an espresso (about 25–30 ml) into an approx. 120–180 ml cup.
• Then pour milk froth onto it until the cup is filled to the brim.

Marocchino

• Melt about a teaspoon of milk chocolate.
• Spread the melted chocolate onto the inside of a glass and pour in an espresso.
• Add around 3–4 teaspoons of frothed milk and then sprinkle with cocoa powder.

Vienna melange

• Pour about 125 ml of strong black coffee into a mocha coffee cup.
• Froth up around 110 ml of milk and add as much milk froth as is needed to fill the cup to just below the rim.
• Depending on personal taste, you can add a little sugar.

Cleaning

• DANGER! Risk of fatal injury from electrocution! Before cleaning the appliance, disconnect the power plug from the mains power socket! Never immerse the appliance, the mains cable or the plug in water or any other liquids!
• CAUTION! Allow the appliance to cool down before cleaning it. Risk of burns!
• ATTENTION! Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents. These can corrode the surface and damage the appliance beyond repair.
• Do not clean the appliance or any parts of it in the dishwasher!

To prevent the milk residue from drying on, clean the container 4 after each use once it has cooled down. Proceed as follows:

• For initial basic cleaning, fill the container 4 with water and, if required, a little detergent (the whisk 3 is inserted). Add water up to the lower
  • MAX marking (= 150 ml).
• Start the appliance so that the whisk 3 swirls through the water for around 10 seconds. Remove the container 4 from the base 10 to stop the programme. Afterwards, rinse the appliance out with clean water.

For a thorough cleaning and for the initial cleaning, proceed as follows:

• Remove the whisk 3 from the appliance and clean the inside of the appliance with warm water and mild detergent if required. Wipe out the interior with a soft cloth or sponge. Pay special attention to the area around the drive shaft. Afterwards, rinse out the appliance thoroughly with fresh water and dry it.
• There is a notch on the lid 1 near the sealing ring 2. Use this to pull the sealing ring 2 off. Clean both parts thoroughly in a mild soapy water. Rinse off detergent residues with fresh water and dry the parts well. Push the sealing ring 2 back onto the lid 1.
• Clean the whisk 3 in mild soapy water and then rinse it thoroughly with fresh water. Allow it to dry.
• Clean all exterior surfaces, the base 10 and the mains cable with a slightly damp cloth. For stubborn soiling add a little mild detergent to the cloth. Wipe off any detergent residues using a cloth moistened only with clean water. Always dry the appliance thoroughly before using it again.

Storage

• Allow the appliance cool down completely before putting it into storage.
• Wind the power cable around the cable retainer 11 in a clockwise direction. The arrows show you which direction to use for winding. Note that the mains cable must be removed from the cable retainer in the opposite direction to the arrow.
• Store the appliance in a clean and dry location.
