Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances
The appliance is driven electrically. Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket to
connect the appliance directly to a protected mains power supply with protective conductor
(earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure that the voltage rating of your mains power supply
corresponds to the voltage requirements of the appliance (220-240 V, 50 Hz, AC, rated for
at least 10 A).
The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommen-
ded. If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.
In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible
norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meet the requi-
rements for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad,
ensure that safe operation is possible.
• Donottouseanyexternaltimer,remotecontrolsystems,ordesktopmultisocketoutlets.
It is best to avoid using extension cords, but if you wish to use one, only use an extension cord
rated for a maximum continuous current of at least 10 A (or 1500 W) with protective conduc-
tor (earth/ground) connected properly.
• Alwayshandlepowercordswithcare.Alwayscompletelyunwindthepowercordbefore
use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted,
pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the
table or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces or sharp edges. Ensure that no
one will pull the appliance by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord.
Always grasp the plug to disconnect the power cord. Do not touch the appliance or power
plug with wet hands when the appliance is connected to the power supply.
• DO NOT let any liquids run down the exterior of the jug, when the jug is
mounted on the power base. Do not place the jug on the power base, when
the exterior of the jug is wet. Otherwise liquid could run into the power base.
When liquids are spilled on the power base or power cord, immediately unplug the appliance.
Thereafter, clean the appliance and let it dry for at least 1 day (see ‚Care and Cleaning’).
High Temperatures—Risk of Burns
The Milk Frother is designed for frothing and heating milk, and therefore milk, jug, lid, and
measuring cup can get very hot during operation and shortly thereafter. Please keep this in
mind to avoid scalds and damage.
• Donottouchjug,lidandmeasuringcupoftheappliancewithyourhands,armsorany
other parts or your body or any heat-sensitive or moisture-sensitive objects. Do not place the
jug on any heat-sensitive surfaces shortly after operation. Only touch the jug and lid at the
handles (e.g. handle of the jug, finger hole at the lid) during operation and shortly thereafter.
• Evenwiththelidproperlyclosed,steamcouldescapefromthelidduringoperationand
shortly thereafter. Condensate could accumulate under the lid and measuring cup and drip,
when pouring out the contents of the jug, or when opening the lid.
• Do not cook any high-proof alcoholic liquid or alcoholic foodstuffs (e.g. mulled wine,
grog) within the appliance to avoid risk of explosion and fire.

30
Moving Parts
The stirrer of the appliance is driven electrically via a magnet. Thus, you should always avoid
inserting your hands, or any delicate objects in the jug, when the jug is placed on the power
base and the appliance is connected to the power supply.

PROPERTIES OF YOUR NEW MILK FROTHER
Your new Milk Frother has been designed specifically for the purpose of foaming milk and
milk alternatives.
IMPORTANT: The appliance is NOT intended to thicken or heat other food substances (e.g.
custards, soups, gravies), or to whip cream or egg white. Additionally, the appliance is not in-
tended to mix a large quantity of dry and/or solid ingredients (e.g. ground nuts, spices, flour,
cacao powder, herbs) or melt large pieces of food (e.g. chocolate or butter).
The frothing discs are driven contact-less via magnets. No opening for a drive shaft is necessa-
ry in the jug, thus avoiding weak points and leaks. As a result, cleaning is made much easier,
too. Additionally, the frothing discs, jug, lid and measuring cup are dishwasher-safe (upper
rack only).
Due to the seal at the brim of the lid, the contents will not drip or splash out of the jug, when
operated correctly. Further ingredients are added via the opening for the measuring cup wit-
hout removing the lid.

31
Safety Concept
For your protection and convenience, your new Milk Frother offers an innovative design.
• After30secondsofbeingidletheMilkFrotherwillswitchoffautomaticallyandtheindi-
cator goes out. To start operation again, simply press the START/STOP button.
• Overheat Protection: The Milk Frother will automatically cease to operate, if the jug
overheats. Possible reasons:
– The jug is empty, or liquid is below the MIN filling mark.
– Consecutive uses without sufficiently pausing.
In this case, immediately unplug the appliance and wait at least 5 minutes for the appli-
ance to cool down. Thereafter, you can activate the appliance again.
• Thermal Cut-Out: This feature means protection for you and the appliance in case of
serious malfunction. The appliance will no longer be able to operate. In this case, immediately
unplug the appliance, and send the appliance and all parts of it to an authorized service
centre for repair.
• Theapplianceoperatesviaaninductionheatingsystemandamagneticstirringsystem.
Thus, injuries are avoided as far as possible, because you cannot unintentionally touch any
heated or moving parts in the power base. Just keep in mind that the jug is heated and thus,
everything touched by the hot jug will get hot, too. Therefore, after operation and removing
the jug, let the power base cool down for some minutes, before moving or cleaning.
Tips for Best Results
• Alwaysusecold,fresh(orfreshlyopened)milk.
• Foroptimumfrothingresults,donotexceedtheCAPPLATTEMAX(500ml)fillingmark
inside the jug. Generally, you will get more froth, when processing various small portions.
• Waituntiltheappliancewarmedupthemilk,beforeaddingfurtheringredients.
• Pourfrothedmilkpromptlytoavoidthemilkfromseparating.
• Donotreheatfrothedmilkthathasnotbeenusedimmediately.
• Ensurejugandfrothingdiscarecleanbeforeeach use. When consecutively preparing
various portions, always flash out the jug with cold tap water, before frothing the next portion
of milk.
• Avoidaddingsugarypowderswhenusing‘COLDSTIR’setting.Toppingsandsyrupswork
best.
• Forcappuccinoorlatté,werecommendstayingwithinthe‘OPTIMUMMILKTEMP’range
(55 °C to 65 °C), however this is up to your personal preference.
• Differentfrothingresultsmaybeachieveddependingonvariousinfluences.Experiment
with different milk options, ingredients, temperatures and frothing discs to achieve the desired
result.
- Milk alternatives: use fresh milk or UHT milk (e.g. cow, sheep or goat) or milk substitutes
(e.g. soy, oat or almond) with various fat content. However, using low fat milk will
provide somewhat more silky froth.

32
- Further ingredients: acidity and fat content of the ingredients have a great effect on
frothing. Adding powdery ingredients could in some cases prevent the build-up of froth
(e.g. cacao powder).
As an example, you can add the following ingredients: cacao powder, mixtures for chocolate
drinks and chai tea, flakes of chocolate, syrups (e.g. of maple, berries, woodruff), honey.
• Eventhetimeofaddingingredientscanbeofgreateffectontheresults.Someingredients
(e.g. cacao) prevent the milk from frothing. You should add ingredients like this after frothing.
• Youcanpreparevariousrecipes.Examples:hotandicedchocolate,coffeerecipes(cap-
puccino, latté, chai-latté, ice coffee, ice mocha).
• Ifyouwishtofrothcoldmilk,justturntheselectordialtoCOLDSTIR,beforeswitchingon
the appliance. Generally, the best results are achieved within 1 minute. Therefore, the appli-
ance stops automatically after 1 minute.

33
OPERATION
WARNING: Always ensure that the appliance and all its parts and accessories are out of
reach of young children. This holds especially for the frothing discs that could
be swallowed by young children, thus causing risk of suffocation.
The appliance is intended for heating and mixing milk and milk surrogates (e.g. cow milk,
soy milk). Therefore, the jug can get very hot during operation. Always observe the following
safety precautions to avoid injuries and damage:
• With the jug mounted on the power base and/or the appliance is connected to the power
supply: Do not insert your hands or any foreign objects (e.g. cooking utensils, clothes) in the
jug. Always prepare the jug completely for operation (frothing disc inserted, filled, lid and
measuring cup inserted), before placing it on the power base.
Do not drip any liquids on the exterior of the jug or in the power base. Immediately wipe off
spilled liquids. When liquids come out from under the lid, run down at the exterior of the ap-
pliance and/or accumulate under the appliance, immediately unplug the appliance to avoid
injuries and damage caused by electricity. Clean and dry the appliance, according to the
instructions in section Care and Cleaning.
• During operation and shortly thereafter: Only touch the jug or lid at the designated hand-
les. Do not hold your hands or face over the appliance. Steam could escape from under the
lid. Additionally, condensate could accumulate under the lid and measuring cup and drip,
when opening the lid. Do not remove the lid or jug, while the appliance is working (indicator
is blinking), to avoid overflow and overheating. Add further ingredients via the opening in
the lid, where the measuring cup is placed. Always switch OFF (press START/STOP button
once) the appliance or wait until it stops working automatically (acoustic signal sounds twice,
indicator is illuminated continuously or goes out), before removing the jug. Place the jug on a
stable, level, moisture-resistant, and heat-resistant surface, before removing the lid. Keep the
hot jug away from heat-sensitive objects.
• Onlyusetheapplianceforfood.Donotprocessthickmixtures,solid,orhigh-proofalcoho-
lic foodstuffs. The appliance is NOT suited for melting, mixing or chopping solid ingredients.

34
Preparing the Appliance
WARNING: Only place the appliance on a stable, dry, level, and clean surface. Do not
place the appliance on inclined surfaces. Do not place any clothes or tissue or other foreign
objects on or under the appliance during operation, to avoid risk of fire or electric shock. Do
not block the ventilation slots at the bottom and rear of the power base. During operation, the
operating elements (see: Knowing Your »Latté Art Milk Frother Advanced«) must be accessible
any time.
Before assembling the appliance, always ensure that all parts and accessories you wish to use
are in proper working order (e.g. not cracked, chapped, broken or distorted). Do not use any
damaged or unsuitable parts to avoid risk of injuries and damage.
Do not operate the appliance with the filling level below the MIN filling mark or exceeding
theMAXfillingmark.Ensurenottospillanyliquidsonthepowerbase.Thejugmustalways
be clean and dry, when placed on the power base to avoid risk of electric shock or damage.
1. Place the power base on a flat, stable, moisture-resistant and heat-resistant surface near a
suitable wall power outlet (see: Important Safeguards) with the START/STOP push dial facing
to you. Leave at least 10 cm of free space to walls, curtains, boards and other objects on each
side of the appliance. Leave at least 50 cm of free space above the appliance to get unhinde-
red access. Ensure that the appliance is unplugged.
2. Select the appropriate frothing disc and insert it in the jug.
– select the cappuccino frothing disc (like a cogwheel) for thick and creamy froth.
– select the latté frothing disc (smoothly shaped) for silky and smooth milk.
Put the frothing disc on the shaft in the middle of the jug. For this, the level side of the
frothing disc must face downwards. Press the frothing disc gently down, until it tangibly
engages on the shaft.
3. Fill the desired amount of cold fresh milk in the jug. For this, always observe the filling
marks within the jug.
– The filling level must lay above the MIN filling mark (at least 200 ml).
– If you wish to froth milk (e.g. for cappuccino or latté), then the filling level may not
 exceedtheCAPPLATTEMAXfillingmark(approx.500ml).
 –Ifyouwishtopreparecacao,thefillinglevelmayreachtheHOTCHOCMAXfilling 
mark, because cacao is scarcely frothing.
Evenifyouwishtoaddfurtheringredientsduringoperation,alwaysobservetheMAXfilling
level, therefore starting with a smaller amount.
4. Place the lid onto the jug and press it down gently to avoid leaking.
5. Place the measuring cup into the lid. For this, turn the measuring cup a little until it slips
down into the opening of the lid. The brim of the measuring cup may not protrude the lid. Then
turn the measuring cup to lock it in the lid. Otherwise, the measuring cup could fall out later.
WARNING: Do not place the jug on the power base, when the jug is wet to avoid risk of
electric shock and damage. Always keep the exterior of the jug dry and clean, when it is
mounted on the power base.
6. Ensure that the exterior of the jug is clean and dry. Then place the jug on the power base.
The appliance is ready for operation now.

35
Frothing Milk
1. Connect the appliance to the power supply.
The indicator in the START/STOP push dial illuminates.
Tip: After being idle for 30 seconds the Milk Frother will enter standby mode (indicator goes
out, fan stops working). Simply press the START/STOP button once to re-activate the appliance.
2. Turn the selection dial to the desired temperature. See: Tips for Best Results
If temperature setting is changed during operation, the appliance will stop at the new tempe-
rature.
Tip: The function COLD STIR leaves the heating system deactivated while the stirrer is agita-
ting. For instance, use this function to prepare cold drinks. The appliance will stop automati-
cally after 1 minute.
WARNING: Especially when selecting high temperatures, the exterior of the jug will become
very hot. Ensure, not to get scald by steam and condensate. Only touch the jug and lid at the
handles to avoid scalding. Do not hold your hands or face over the jug during operation and
shortly thereafter.
3. Press the START/STOP button to switch on the appliance.
The appliance starts working, an acoustic signal sounds once, and the indicator starts to flash.
Depending on the used quantity of milk and the selected temperature, the appliance will take
between 2 and 8 minutes to reach the adjusted temperature.
Note: Do not remove the jug or the lid during operation. To stop operation at any time, press
the START/STOP button once. An acoustic signal sounds twice and the indicator is illuminated
continuously.
Even after switching OFF, the fan of the appliance continues working audibly, and the indicator
illuminates continuously. This does NOT mean that stirrer and heater are still operating. After
30 seconds without operation the fan will shut down automatically and the indicator goes out.
WARNING: Do not place the hot jug on a heat-sensitive or inclined surface where it can tilt
or fall. Beware of hot liquid, condensate and steam, when opening the lid and pouring out
the contents.
Due to the contact with the hot jug, the mounting of the jug in the power base could be slightly
hot. Let the power base cool down for some minutes, before touching the upper sides of the
power base.
4. Carefully remove the jug from the power base as the jug and contents could be hot. Place
the jug on a heat-resistant level surface.
5. Holding the jug by the handle, remove the lid. Then pour out the frothed milk. Use a woo-
den or plastic spoon (e.g. cocktail spoon with especially long handle) to take out the froth.
6. Flush out the jug with cold tap water immediately after emptying.
7. If you wish to prepare another portion of milk, just continue as described in this section.
8. After you have processed your milk as desired, unplug the appliance.
9. Clean the appliance and all used parts and accessories immediately after use. Do not let
any food dry on the surfaces (see: ‚Care and Cleaning’).

36
Adding Further Ingredients
WARNING: Ensure not to spill any liquids on the appliance, when adding further ingredients
through the opening in the lid. Do not overfill the jug. Do not remove the lid, while the appli-
ance is operating. Always pour further ingredients through the opening for the measuring cup.
Otherwise the jug could overflow, and liquid could drip on the power base, causing electrical
hazard.
Additionally, the contents of the jug could splash, when pouring in further ingredients. Thus,
do not hold your face over the opening in the lid while the stirrer is agitating. Keep delicate
objects in sufficient distance from the appliance.
It is best to slowly add further ingredients with the stirrer operating and after the appliance has
slightly warmed up the milk (some seconds up to 1 minute). This way, the ingredients are mixed
evenly and you get the best results. Prefer liquids rather than solid ingredients (e.g. sugar syrup
is better than caster sugar). Whenever possible, dissolve solid ingredients in a small amount
of milk (e.g. caramel) and/or melt it (e.g. butter or chocolate).
1. Remove the measuring cup from the lid. For this, turn the measuring cup until you can lift
it up and out.
You can use the measuring cup for measuring out the required amount (up to 30 ml).
2. Slowly pour the ingredients into the opening in the lid.
Always pour slowly and in small quantities, to avoid splashes and achieve an even mixture.
Additionally, adding ingredients too quickly may cause the frothing disc to dislodge or stop
spinning.
3. Turn the measuring cup upside down, and insert the measuring cup in the opening in the
lid. The bottom of the measuring cup must be on a level with the top of the lid. Turn the measu-
ring cup to lock it in the lid.
