HINTS & TIPS

Here are some handy hints to help you get the most out of your frother.

• Always use your frother first to froth or heat your milk. While it is working prepare your coffee or hot chocolate and serve immediately.
• Use whole milk (fat content >3.0%) for best results.
• Cold milk can be frothed with this frother.
• Milk heats to approximately 65+/-5°C. This is the ideal temperature to ensure the best flavor of your coffee and it will not be too hot to drink.
• Keep the whisks in a safe place. They are small and can easily be lost.
• After frothing or heating allow 2 minutes for the thermostat to reset and the frother to be ready for use again. To shorten this time, rinse with cool water and wipe dry after each use.
• The frother is designed to heat and froth milk only. Do not put coffee grounds, chocolate powder or other similar consistencies into the frother. Clean and dry after using.
