Initial setup

Is your drink missing a little somethin’? Get this little guy going and start showing off your foam flair.

1. Pull your new milk frother out of the box!
2. Remove all the packaging material and accessories from in and around the appliance. Make sure to check inside the pitcher!
3. Place the milk frother base on a stable, level surface.

Initial cleaning

Before using your milk frother, it’s important to clean the components.

1. Disassemble the milk frother into 3 parts:
   • The lid
   • The frothing paddle (pull up gently to remove)
   • The pitcher
2. Hand wash the lid, the frothing paddle, and the inside of the pitcher with hot water and dish soap. Do not immerse the pitcher in water or other liquid.
3. Rinse the lid, the frothing paddle, and the inside of the pitcher with clear, warm water, then dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth.

That’s it! Start whipping up that fresh, fluffy foam.

WARNING
The pitcher and base contain electrical components. To avoid fire, electric shock or personal injury, DO NOT machine wash, rinse or immerse the milk frother base, pitcher, power cord or plug in water or other liquids.

Making drinks

The Instant Milk Frother was designed with 2 easy-to-use button controls.

Function
Toggles through the preset programs to create various types of foam to suit your tastes.

Start/Cancel
Starts and stops the selected program.

• The cold foam setting creates a luscious, silky microfoam filled with millions of tiny bubbles. Use milk and coconut milk for the perfect cold brew topper.
  • The Milk Frother does not chill when frothing. Use chilled liquid.
• The warm foam setting heats and froths, and with a gentle swirl of the pitcher at the end, creates a loose style of warm microfoam — like a cloud floating on your café au lait and lattes.
• The warm, thick foam setting heats and froths your liquid to create a rich, dense style of warm microfoam. The crowning touch for your cappuccino.
• The warm, no foam setting heats your drink without generating any foam. This setting automatically slow-stirs your drink to keep it from scorching, for amazing steamed milk, hot chocolate and more!

Set up the Milk Frother for use

1. Remove the lid from the pitcher.

2. Position the square end of the frothing paddle over the shaft at the bottom of the pitcher.
   Rotate the frothing paddle until it aligns with the shaft, then push the frothing paddle down until it is secure.

3. For cold foam, warm foam, or warm, thick foam, fill the pitcher to between the and lines.
   To warm without creating foam, fill the pitcher between the and lines.

   • Overfilling may cause the milk frother to overflow when using a foaming setting. Do not overfill the pitcher.

4. Place the lid on the pitcher and press down until it is secure.

5. Place the pitcher on the base.

6. Connect the power cord to a 120 V outlet.

NOTICE
Do not attempt to froth if the liquid level is below the MIN fill line as indicated on the inside of the pitcher.

WARNING
DO NOT remove the lid while the frothing paddle is in operation to avoid risk of electric shock, personal injury and/or property damage.

Frothing tips

Follow these tips and tricks to make sure you’re treating yourself to the best drink possible.

The colder the liquid the better.

| Always use the coldest, freshest milk or milk alternative possible before frothing.

When frothing, millions of tiny air bubbles are introduced into the liquid. The longer it takes to heat up, the more air can be infused into the liquid. This immediately enhances the quality of your foam, and reduces your chances of scalding. No more bad froth days!

Note : Warm milk will not foam up properly.

Not all milk alternatives produce foam.

| Oat and soy milk will create foam using either the warm or cold foaming settings.

Coconut milk will only froth using the cold foam setting.

Infuse your foam with flavor.

| Before frothing, add aromatic spices to the pitcher, like cinnamon, cardamom or nutmeg, or other fragrant items like lavender. The longer you allow your ingredients to steep, the stronger the flavors will be.

It’s a tasty mix and match! Join the official Instant Pot® Facebook Community to let us know your favorite bevvy’s unique flavor profile.

Give your milk frother a break!| When frothing big batches, allow the milk frother to rest for about 3 minutes after every 2 frothing cycles.

Making latte worthy foam.

| As soon as the frother finishes whipping up your warm foam, lift the pitcher off the base, put your thumb on the lid and give it a good swirl! This helps give your latte foam the glossiness it deserves.

Care, cleaning and storage

Clean your Instant Milk Frother after every use to ensure the best possible flavor and to prevent milk from baking onto the inside of the pitcher. Always unplug the milk frother and let it cool to room temperature before cleaning. Never use metal scouring pads, abrasive powders or harsh chemical detergents on any of the milk frother’s parts or components. Let all parts dry thoroughly before use or before storage.

Lid

| Remove from the pitcher before cleaning. Dishwasher safe.

Pitcher

| Remove the pitcher from the base before cleaning.

With a cloth, hand wash the inside of the pitcher with hot water and dish soap and rinse it with clean, warm water.

With a barely-damp cloth, hand wash the outside of the pitcher and wipe dry to prevent streaking. DO NOT rinse the pitcher’s exterior.

DO NOT store liquid in the pitcher.

Frothing paddle

| Remove from the pitcher before cleaning. Dishwasher safe.

Base

| With a barely damp cloth, wipe visible particles from the base as needed. Allow to dry thoroughly before placing the pitcher.
