HELPFUL TIPS
• I adding frothed milk to a hot drink, prepare the beverage while
frother is in use. Serve immediately for best avor.
• All kinds of milk can be used with this appliance (Whole, 2%, 1%, skim, soy milk,
almond milk, rice milk). Skim milk will produce the thickest, most stable froth. Soy milk
will produce froth with somewhat larger bubbles, but the froth is not as stable.
• Do not use anything other than milk in the frother. Other items like
avoring, coee, or hot chocolate may damage the unit. If you do
use any of these products be sure to clean immediately.
