Batteries
Should the frothing process not lead to the
desired results, or if you experience a
decrease in the operating speed, this
indicates that the batteries need to be
replaced. To access the battery
compartment, unlock the cover and remove
it. Always ensure correct polarity alignment
when inserting new batteries. The unit is
designed for use with standard ‘R6/AA’-
type 1.5V batteries. Do not use rechargeable
batteries: the operating voltage is rated at
only 1,2V.
Remember to protect our environment.
Never dispose of old batteries in your
domestic garbage.
Old batteries must be disposed of through
the local ‘special garbage collection points’.
During extended periods of non-use, always
remove the battery from the battery
compartment.
Before using for the first time
Before the appliance is used for the first
time, or after extended periods of non-use, it
should be thoroughly cleaned as described in
the section General Care and Cleaning.
Operation
We recommend the use of long-life low-fat
milk (1.5% fat content). For best results, the
milk should be taken from the refrigerator
immediately prior to frothing.
- Half-fill a suitable, long container (eg
glass or cup) with milk. Do not pre-heat
the container.
- Insert the whisk head, ensuring that it is
fully immersed, and press the operating
button. Keep it pressed until the milk is
thoroughly frothed. During frothing, the
whisk head should be moved in a circular
motion. To avoid possible spilling during
the frothing process, ensure that the
whisk head remains fully submerged.
- Use a spoon to spread the milk froth
over the coffee.
General Care and Cleaning
The whisk head is permanently attached and
cannot be removed. After use, the head can
be easily cleaned by dipping it into warm
water and briefly pressing the operating
button. Clean the head thoroughly
afterwards. For safety reasons, the housing
of the appliance may not be treated with
water or any other liquids; it may be wiped
with a slightly damp cloth.
