CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
After each use it is important that you properly clean your new
appliance. You should rinse the pitcher in cold water prior to using. In addition, the following
guidelines should be adhered to:
CARE OF THE BASE UNIT
1ALWAYS unplug the base unit prior to cleaning and never immerse it in water. After
each use, clean with a sponge and dry with a soft towel. It is especially important to
clean all the residue around the gear drive assembly in the center of the base
and the START and STOP buttons. Buildup of milk and other ingredients will cause
the gears to stick and the whip not to spin or the unit not to shut off automatically.
TM TM
CARE OF THE PITCHER, FROTH WHIP & SAUCE WHIP
1
1The Pitcher should never be placed in an automatic dishwasher!
1Immediately after each use, rinse and add about a ½cup of hot water inside the pitcher
to soak. This helps prevent build up of ingredients. Do not leave pitcher in the sink.
1When ready to clean, wash the pitcher and whips with warm soapy water using a
scrubber sponge. ALWAYS REMOVE ALL FILM FROM THE PITCHER BOTTOM.
Rinse with cold water and dry with a soft towel.
1After cleaning the whips, be sure that the paddles firmly lock together. See assembly
instructions below.
1Between consecutive cycles, the appliance should be rinsed with cold water.
1Occasionally, the appliance should be operated with a ½ cup of cold water and, if
necessary, a small amount of dishwasher detergent. Rinse thoroughly when done.
ASSEMBLY & CLEANING OF THE FROTH AND SAUCE WHIPS
Froth Au Lait Gourmet includes two whips: the Froth Whip and the Sauce Whip. These
whips can be disassembled into three elements to facilitate thorough cleaning (Figure 1).
There is one common shaft and two sets of whipping blades. The Froth Whip utilizes the
gray set of blades and the Sauce Whip utilizes the black set. When assembling, always
be sure that the whips snap together and lock into position.
Froth Au Lait Gourmet
Never immerse the Pitcher in water. The lower surface of the Pitcher must be
dried before use.

Assembly
To assemble the desired whip, hold the
bottom section of the Shaft (C) with one
hand and with the other hand, slide the
Bottom Whipping Blade (longer barrel)
(B) over the knob and onto the Shaft
and press. Hold upright on a counter
and slide the Top Whipping Blade
(shorter barrel) (A) over the knob and
onto the shaft. PUSH DOWN UNTIL IT
LOCKS INTO POSITION.
Cleaning
1. To clean the Sauce Whip, hold the Bottom
Whipping Blade (B) with one hand and with the
other hand, pull and remove the Top Whipping
Blade (A) from the Shaft (C). Then pull and remove
the Bottom Whipping Blade (B) from the Shaft (C).
2. Wash the three parts with warm soapy water
using a sponge and then dry with a soft towel.
3. To reassemble, follow the Assembly instructions
to the left.

1. Choose the appropriate Whip for your
recipe. Insert the whip into the stainless
steel center tube of the Pitcher and push or
turn slightly to insure the Whip is seated
properly.
2. Pour the specified ingredients into the
Pitcher. When using the Froth Whip to
prepare Froth recipes, pour the desired
amount and type of cold milk into the
Pitcher. Use a measuring cup or the pre-
marked level indicators on the backside of
the Pitcher as a guide.
IMPORTANT (when using Froth Whip):
The volume, texture, and taste of froth
vary depending on the fat content and
amount of milk and flavoring used. See
chart below.
TYPE MILK MIN MILK MAX MILK
Fat free ½ cup 1 cup
1% ¾cup 1¼-1½ cup
2% ¾cup 1½ cup
Whole ¾cup 1½ cup
The appliance produces the greatest
volume of thick froth using cold, fat free milk.
1%, 2% and whole milk froth well, but due to
a higher fat content they produce less
volume of froth with a slightly different
texture. To best understand the frothing
capabilities of your unit, we recommend
you use the maximum amount of milk on
your first use, and then adjust milk
volume to your needs.
To prepare toppings for coffee or dessert,
using the minimum amount of milk will
produce approximately 1 – 2 servings and
the maximum amount of milk will produce
approximately 4 – 6 generous servings.

cold water and dry.

Whip), allow 30 seconds or more for the
milk to settle after the cycle is complete.

drinks. In the HEAT ON mode the liquid milk on the bottom heats to a higher
temperature than the froth. If serving to children, wait until hot milk cools
slightly or stop the heating cycle early by lifting pitcher off base.
7a.When making froth (using the Froth Whip), rotate lid slightly past the POUR
position, lift it from the pitcher and spoon out the exceptionally rich froth. If
desired, the pitcher can be removed from the base and used for serving.
Occasionally, a small amount of milk may enter the center tube and drip onto
the base. This is a normal occurrence.
base, especially around the gear shaft, with a towel or sponge. Care should
be taken never to remove the Froth Whip while milk is still in the pitcher.
7b.When making sauces, gravies, or
desserts (using the Sauce Whip) IN

HEAT SWITCH TO OFF, PRESSING
THE START BUTTON, AND LETTING
UNIT CONTINUE TO WHIP FOR 1-2
MINUTES. Remember you MUST
PRESS THE STOP BUTTON to stop the
whipping in the Heat OFF mode. Use a
heat resistant spatula to stir several times
and then pour desired sauce into a bowl.
