Preparation
Unpacking
ƇRemove all parts of the appliance and these operating instructions from the
carton.
ƇRemove all packing material.
ƇClean the appliance as described in the section „Cleaning and Care“.
Disposal of the packaging
The packaging protects the appliance from transport damage. The packaging
materials are selected from the point of view of their environmental friendliness
and disposal technology and are therefore recyclable.
The recirculation of packaging into the material circuit saves on raw material and
reduces the amount of waste generated. Dispose of packaging material that is
no longer needed as per the regionally established regulations.
NOTICE
► If possible preserve the appliance's original packaging during the warranty
period so that, in the event of a warranty claim, you can package the appliance
ideally for its return.
Operation
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
► NEVER place the electrical plinth in the vicinity of water - potentially
fatal from electric shock!
WARNING - RISK OF PHYSICAL INJURY!
► For safety reasons you should not open the lid while the appliance is in
operation. There is a risk of being scalded.
► Always use fresh milk. Do not consume milk that has been standing in the
carafe for some time.
NOTICE
► If you lift the carafe off the plinth during the preparation process, the
appliance will stop. You must restart the preparation process by pressing
the “Hot” button /the “Cold” button .

Heating milk
1) Fit the whisk for uniform heating onto the drive shaft inside the carafe.
You can clip the other whisk onto the whisk holder .
2) Take the carafe from the plinth and pour the milk in. Thereby, fill it with as
much milk as is needed so that at least the minimum mark inside the carafe
is reached. However, never fill it with milk beyond the upper MAX-marking
(). If you do, the appliance may overflow.
3) Place the carafe on the plinth .
4) Put the lid on.
5) Press the “Hot” button . The integrated control lamp lights up red.
The whisk for uniform heating starts to turn. This heats the milk evenly.
6) The appliance switches itself off and the integrated control lamp goes out as
soon as the milk reaches a temperature of 60 - 65°C.
NOTICE
► If you want to stop the preparation process before completion, press the “Hot”
button . If you press the “Hot” button again, the preparation
process will resume.
7) Take the lid off and pour the hot milk into the desired container.
Wait about 2 minutes before you heat up another portion of milk.

Tips for the milk froth
■ Froth only cow‘s milk with this appliance. Other types of milk can be frothed
only subject to limitations, or can cause the appliance to overflow.
■ Low fat or skimmed milk does not burn on as easily as whole milk, however,
a too low fat content contributes to the risk that the milk will not be well
frothed. Therefore, when possible use a milk with 3.5% or 1.5% fat content.
■ Well-cooled milk can be better frothed than less cold.
■ Do not froth the milk a second time, otherwise it may burn on.
■ Leave frothed milk to stand for about 30 seconds before you put the foam
onto cappuccino, espresso, etc. Then the larger bubbles burst and the more
liquid milk sinks to the bottom. You can then use the fine foam.
Making hot frothy milk
1) Fit the frothing whisk onto the drive shaft on the inside. You can clip the
other whisk onto the whisk holder .
2) Take the carafe from the plinth and pour the milk in. Thereby, fill it with as
much milk as is needed so that at least the minimum mark inside the carafe is
reached. However, never fill it with milk beyond the upper MAX-marking ( ).
If you do, the appliance may overflow. When frothing, the milk volume multi-
plies itself manyfold!
3) Place the carafe on the plinth .
4) Put the lid on.
5) Press the “Hot” button . The integrated control lamp lights up red.
The frothing whisk starts to turn, the milk is frothed and heated.
6) The appliance switches itself off and the integrated control lamp goes out as
soon as the milk is frothed.
NOTICE
► If you want to stop the preparation process before completion, press the “Hot”
button . If you press the “Hot” button again, the preparation
process will resume.

7) Wait about 30 seconds. In this time the still liquid milk flows to the bottom.
8) Remove the lid and pour the milk froth into the desired container to make,
for example, a cappuccino.
Wait about 2 minutes before you heat up another portion of milk.
Making cold frothy milk
1) Fit the frothing whisk onto the drive shaft inside the carafe. You can clip
the other whisk onto the whisk holder .
2) Remove the carafe from the plinth and fill it with milk. Fill the carafe with
milk to at least the MIN mark inside. However, never fill it with milk beyond
the upper MAX marking ( ). Otherwise the appliance may overflow.
When frothed, the volume of the milk increases significantly!
3) Place the carafe on the plinth .
4) Put the lid on .
5) Press the “Cold” button . The integrated control lamp lights up blue.
The frothing whisk starts to turn, the milk is frothed.
6) The appliance switches itself off and the integrated control lamp goes out as
soon as the milk is frothed.
NOTE
► If you want to stop the preparation process before completion, press the
"Cold" button . If you press the "Cold" button again, the
preparation process will resume.
7) Wait about 30 seconds. During this time the still liquid milk flows to the
bottom.

■ Spread the melted chocolate onto the inside wall of a glass and pour an
espresso in.

Cleaning and Care
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
► Before cleaning it, disconnect the plug from the mains power socket!
Otherwise there is the risk of receiving an electric shock!
► NEVER open any housing parts. There are no user-serviceable elements
inside. When the housing is open, there is the risk of receiving a potentially
fatal electrical shock.
NEVER immerse the appliance in water or other liquids! This would
bring about the risk of a potentially fatal electric shock upon the
next use of the appliance should moisture be present in the voltage
conducting elements.
WARNING - RISK OF PHYSICAL INJURY!
► Let the appliance cool down before cleaning it. Risk of burns!
WARNING - PROPERTY DAMAGE!
Do not clean the appliance or parts of it in the dishwasher!
If you do so, the appliance will be damaged beyond repair.
► Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents. These can attack the
surface and damage it beyond repair.
NOTICE
► Ideally, clean the appliance directly after cooling, so that milk residues can
not dry onto it.
For the first coarse cleaning put some water and a little mild detergent into
the carafe (the whisk used /is still fitted). Thereby, pay heed to the
MIN and MAX - markings.
Start the appliance so that the whisk ploughs /through the water.
Afterwards, rinse the appliance out with copious clean water.
For a thorough cleaning, proceed as follows:
■ Remove the whisk /from the appliance to clean it and clean the inside
of the appliance with warm water. Add a little detergent. Wipe the interior
with a soft cloth or sponge. Pay special attention to the area around the
drive shaft. Afterwards, rinse the appliance out with copious clean water.#
■ Pull the sealing ring from the lid and clean both parts in mild soapy
water. Rinse of detergent residues with clean water and dry both parts well.
Push the sealing ring back onto the lid .
■ Clean the whisks /in mild soapy water and then rinse them well with
clean water.

■ Clean all exterior surfaces, the plinth and the power cable with a damp
cloth. In all cases, dry the appliance well before using it again. For stubborn
soiling use a mild detergent on the cloth. Ensure that there are no detergent
residues located on and in the appliance before taking it back into service.
Storage
■ Let the appliance cool down completely before putting it into storage.
■ Store the appliance at a dry location.
