Dualit DMF4 Handheld Milk Frother Instruction Manual

Dualit DMF4 Handheld Milk Frother

Product Information

This product is a dualit appliance designed for making chocolate beverages. It is equipped with a heating element and a non-stick coated jug. The device comes with various attachments, including a whisk, a flat white cap, and a basket attachment. The device has a power button and requires a 5 amp plug fuse.

Product Usage Instructions

Troubleshooting

If the appliance does not turn on:

1. Check that the plug is properly inserted into the socket and the switch is turned on.
2. If the plug fuse has failed, replace it with a 5 amp plug fuse. Make sure to check your residual current device (RCD) as well. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted. Use an ASTA approved replacement fuse with the same current value as the original.
3. If the heating element is broken or the thermal fuse has been activated, please contact Dualit Customer Services for further assistance.
4. If the jug is still warm from a previous cycle, pour cold water into the jug and allow it to cool before using again.

Non-Stick Coating

If the non-stick coating is damaged:

1. Ensure that the milk level is within the minimum and maximum fill markings to avoid overheating and damaging the non-stick coating.
2. Do not lift the jug before the cycle is completed to avoid overheating and damaging the non-stick surface.
3. When cleaning the inside of the jug, do not use abrasive cloths or insert sharp objects that can damage the non-stick coating.

Chocolate Residue

If there is a large amount of chocolate residue left inside the jug after a cycle:

1. Add the chocolate after the whisk with basket attachment and milk have been placed into the jug.
2. Use cold milk straight from the fridge to improve melting efficiency for chocolate beverages.
3. Use less chocolate or break it into smaller pieces. Choosing chocolate with lower cocoa content will reduce or eliminate chocolate residue.
4. Do not turn off the device during a cycle to ensure proper chocolate melting time and reduce residue build-up.
5. Leave the device for 1 minute after a completed cycle to allow longer melting time. Move the whisk up and down to encourage melting.
6. Make sure to allow the device to cool fully between cycles.

Whisk Issues

If the whisk is not spinning or is noisy when spinning:

1. Remove the whisk from the jug and re-insert to realign it with the motor.
2. Ensure that the jug and all attachments are clean before using,as residue can disrupt the magnetisation and centralisation of the whisk.
3. If the chocolate segments have knocked the whisk out of place, remove the attachments from the jug and re-insert. Always use the basket attachment when making chocolate beverages.
4. If using the basket or flat white cap, slide it onto the whisk and push down until it clicks into place.
5. Check that the whisk, flat white cap, and basket spin freely before using. Any residue may affect functionality. Clean the jug and all accessories before use and before storing.

*The Milk Frother is designed to be used with a wide range of chocolate. For best results we recommend using chocolate flakes, though you can use chocolate segments no larger than 1cm² and 0.5cm thick, powder or buttons no smaller than 1cm diameter and 0.5cm thick. Use pure chocolate only, with no added ingredients such as nuts, raisins, biscuit, coconut, caramel, wafer, nougat etc., as they may block the whisk.You may need to chop the chocolate to the recommended sizes. Note: Deviating from the recommended ingredients can affect the volume of beverage produced and performance of your appliance. Never fill above the ‘Max’ or under the ‘Min’ fill volumes.

HINTS AND TIPS

GENERAL

• Always use cold milk straight from the fridge.
• The Milk Frother works best with milk that has a high protein level e.g. dairy or soya.
• Dualit recommends using semi-skimmed or UHT milk. Full fat milk will not froth well as the fat content is greater than 3%. Remember, different milks froth at different rates.
• When using plant-based milk such as soya, oat, almond etc., make sure to use ‘barista-grade’ as these varieties will produce more froth.

CHOCOLATE

• Breaking the chocolate into smaller pieces will ensure it melts more efficiently and reduces residue.
• If you find chocolate residue in the Jug after serving, on next use wait 1 minute after the cycle has finished, before pouring.
• Choosing a chocolate with a lower cocoa content will reduce the amount of residue as it has a lower melting point.
• If you find chocolate residue on the Basket after frothing, move the Whisk up and down while submerged in the hot milk, until it has melted.
• Check that the Whisk and Basket spin freely before using your device. Any residue may affect functionality. Ensure the Jug and all Attachments are clean before use and before storing.
• If you prefer a sweeter chocolate drink, add up to 50g of chocolate. Note this may increase the amount of residue.
• You can make two Chocolate Milkshakes at the same time; divide the volume of liquid between two cups and add 70g of ice per cup.
