2 Pour the milk into the milk jug C. Make sure
you do not fill it above the maximum capacity
(as detailed in the table below) or below the
minimum mark. Look inside the milk jug to make
sure you do not go above the MAX mark d for
frothing or heating milk, otherwise the milk may
spill out of the milk jug.

into place.
4 Place the milk jug C onto the base E making
sure the base is placed on a heat-resistant, even,
stable, dry, non-slip surface.

number of times for your desired function.
Function On/Off button DMax. milk level
Heat & froth Press once – flashes red 300ml
Heat only Press twice rapidly –
steady red 700ml
Froth only Press three times rapidly –
flashes blue 300ml
Note
 The appliance will switch off automatically once the
frothing / heating process is complete.
7 Press the On/Off button D at any time to stop the
process. The light will become blue (steady).
8 When the appliance stops, open the lid A. Use
a spoon to scoop out the froth before you pour
the milk.
9 Pull the plug H from the earthed wall socket.
Tips
 To make measuring easy, there are max/min markers
on the milk jug.
 When frothing milk, use cold semi-skimmed or UHT
milk for best results. Full milk does not froth well
because it has a higher fat content.
 The appliance heats milk to the perfect temperature
for coffee ensuring the flavour is not impaired and
it quickly reaches drinking temperature so you can
start sipping away sooner.
 If you want slightly warmer milk, leave the milk in
the jug for a further 30 seconds after it has finished
heating or frothing.
 After frothing or heating wait two minutes for the
thermostat to reset before using the appliance again.
 The appliance is designed to heat and froth milk. If
you add coffee granules, hot chocolate powder or
other flavourings make sure you thoroughly clean
the milk jug immediately after use.
