INTRODUCTION

Whether you're a coffee connoisseur or need a caffeine boost to conquer your day, the Chefman^® Froth + Brew™ makes drinks in minutes.
Before brewing your first cup, please read this User Guide in full.

FUN FACTS

Coffee beans are seeds. We call them beans because of their resemblance to legumes, but they come from cherry-like coffee plants.
Decaf coffee is not 100% caffeine free. An 8 oz cup of decaf coffee typically contains 2 to 12 mg of caffeine as compared to a standard cup that has at least 95 mg.
Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a mini opera about coffee called "Be Still, Stop Chattering."
Caffeine was identified as coffee's active ingredient in the 1830s after it got the attention of European politicians who feared the "wild potion's" abilities.
Receptors in our noses shut down after being continually exposed to the same smell over time. That's why we become "nose blind." A proven way to stop "nose blindness," or olfactory habituation, is to reset our sense of smell by sniffing coffee beans. That's why small cups of coffee beans are often found in perfume shops.
In 1964, a Long Island national convenience store chain was the first to offer fresh coffee in to-go cups.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND FAQS

Never tip the Froth + Brew™ upside down for any reason; hot water may come out and cause burns.
Only water should be used in the water tank. Never put milk or any other liquid into the water tank. Only use water in water tank.
For best results, we recommend using filtered water.

CULINARY FROTHING AND BREWING TIPS

Only the included glass frothing mug can be used to froth with the Froth + Brew™.
Cold Froth and Brew cannot be used in the same cycle because the resulting drink is lukewarm.
Any kind of milk can be used with the Froth + Brew™, but different types of milk will create different kinds of froth.

Do not clean glass frothing mug with cleansers, steel wool pads, or other abrasive material.
Do not place metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons, and lids on the heating surface of the unit since they can get hot.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way or force it into the outlet. This could result in injury or electric shock.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:

The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.
The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

POWER CORD SAFETY TIPS

Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
Before each use, inspect the power cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the power cord replaced. In such cases, please contact Chefman^® Customer Support for assistance.
Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.

DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE POWER CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

Do not place the appliance on a stovetop or any other hot surface.
