7.4. Tips on how to make good milk froth
We recommend using cow’s milk. Other types of milk behave differently during the frothing
process. This can result in milk overflowing out of the milk frother.
It is best to use milk with a fat content of between 1.5 and 3.5 per cent. Low-fat milk and
skimmed milk do not froth well.
The milk should be cool.
Do not try to froth the milk a second time if you do not like the milk froth the first time. This is
because the milk can burn.
If you find the milk froth to be too liquidy, we recommend leaving it to rest for around 30
seconds. During this time, the liquid milk can sink down and the milk froth achieves a better
consistency.

SilverCrest SMA 500 B1
English - 13
7.5. Making cold milk froth
Insert whisk B (5) up to the stop on the drive shaft inside the canister (7).
Take the canister (7) off the base (11) and pour milk up to the MIN marking inside the canister
(7). The volume of the milk increases during the frothing process. Only pour milk up to the
lower MAX marking in order to prevent the milk froth from overflowing.
Place the lid (2) onto the canister (7).
Place the canister (7) onto the base (11).
Press the On/Off button (10) for approximately three seconds. The blue LED (8) lights up and
whisk B (5) begins to turn. The process of creating milk froth begins.
As soon as the milk froth is ready, the milk frother automatically switches off and the blue LED
(8) goes out.
You can stop the preparation process at any time by briefly pressing the On/Off
button (10).
Wait around 30 seconds until any remaining fluid milk settles at the bottom of the canister (7).
Lift the canister (7) off the base (11), remove the lid (2) and use the milk froth as you wish.
Wait two to three minutes before using the milk frother again.
7.6. Making hot milk froth
Insert whisk B (5) up to the stop on the drive shaft inside the canister (7).
Take the canister (7) off the base (11) and pour milk up to the MIN marking inside the canister
(7). The volume of the milk increases during the frothing process. Only pour milk up to the
lower MAX marking in order to prevent the milk froth from overflowing.
Place the lid (2) onto the canister (7).
Place the canister (7) onto the base (11).

7.7. Ideas for using milk froth
You can use your freshly made milk froth in various beverages.
We have included some recipes for you here.
Viennese Blend
Freshly brewed coffee
Hot milk
Milk froth
Place the same amount of freshly brewed black coffee and hot milk into a large cup until there is
about one centimetre to the rim of the cup. Pour in the freshly made milk froth.
Latte Macchiato
150 ml milk for the milk froth
1 portion of espresso (25–30 ml)
Use the milk to make fresh milk froth and pour the froth into a latte macchiato glass until the glass is
three quarters full. Next, slowly and carefully pour the espresso into the milk froth. Those who like
strong coffee can add an extra portion of espresso at this stage. Ideally, the espresso has now
collected in the centre. The liquid milk is at the bottom and the top of the drink is crowned by a thick
layer of froth. If there is any leftover milk froth and space in the glass, you can carefully add it to the
rest of the milk froth.
Carajillo – A Spanish drink combining coffee with a shot
1 cup of espresso
1 cl brandy or rum
1–2 cl egg liqueur
1 heaped teaspoon of fine cane sugar
Milk froth
Stir the espresso with the brandy and dissolve the cane sugar in it. Put the egg liqueur into a large
glass and then very slowly slide the espresso over a spoon onto the egg liqueur. This creates two
layers in the glass. Fill the glass with the freshly made milk froth.
Coffee with nut nougat cream
1 cup of freshly brewed coffee
2 teaspoons of nut nougat cream
Milk froth
Stir the nut nougat cream directly into the freshly brewed coffee, provided it is still very hot. Pour in
the freshly made milk froth.
If you like, you can stir some chilli powder into your coffee and sprinkle a little bit onto the milk
froth.
Enjoy!

8. Maintenance/cleaning
DANGER of electric shock
Always remove the plug from the power socket before beginning to clean the base
(11). Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock.
Do not pour or spray any liquids onto the base (11) or immerse it into water or any
other liquids. Otherwise, there is a risk of electric shock and a fire hazard due to short
circuits.
DANGER of burn injuries
Wait until the canister (7) has cooled down completely before cleaning it. Otherwise
you could burn yourself.
WARNING of damage to property
Do not use any scratching or abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive objects (such as a
metal scourer) for cleaning purposes. Otherwise the milk frother may be damaged.
Do not clean the milk frother (7) and its accessories in the dishwasher, as this may
cause irreparable damage.
Ideally, cleaning is carried out directly after the canister (7) cools. This way, any milk
residues cannot dry.
8.1. Simple cleaning process:
Leave the whisk (4, 5) that was used in place.
Fill the canister (7) with water considering the MIN and MAX markings and place the lid (2)
onto it.
Allow the milk frother to run for around 30 seconds.
Next, rinse the canister (7) with plenty of clean water and rinse the lid (2) under running water.
8.2. Thorough cleaning process:
Remove the power cable (12) from the power socket.
Remove the whisk (4, 5) that was used.
Clean the interior of the canister (7) with warm water and some washing up-liquid. Use a
sponge or a soft cloth. Make sure to remove milk residue in and around the whisk drive shaft.
Next, rinse the canister (7) with plenty of clean water.
Remove the cover seal (3) from the lid (2) and clean the two parts in mild rinse water. Rinse
with clean water, dry both parts thoroughly and position the cover seal (3) back on the lid (2).
Clean whisks A and B (4, 5) in mild rinse water and rinse with clean water.
Next, rinse the canister (7) with plenty of clean water and rinse the lid (2) under running water.

SilverCrest SMA 500 B1
16 - English
WARNING of damage to property
After cleaning and before using the device again, ensure that the contact area on the
underside of the canister (7) is absolutely dry and free from any detergent residue. If
not, placing the canister (7) on the base (11) can cause a short circuit, which in turn
will result in a defective milk frother.
9. Storing the device when not in use
If the milk frother is not going to be used for a longer period of time, store it in a safe, clean and dry
place.
Before storing the device, clean it thoroughly as described in the previous section.

problem. If working through the following tips does not eliminate the fault, please contact our
hotline (see the ‘Warranty information’ section).
10.1. The milk frother is not working
The plug is not inserted. Insert the plug into the power socket.
The power socket is faulty. Try the milk frother in another power socket that you know definitely
works.
The milk frother is not switched on. Press the On/Off button (10) to switch on the milk frother.
The milk frother has overheated and the overheating protection is preventing the device from
switching on. Wait until the milk frother has cooled down. Pour milk up to the MIN marking
inside the milk frother.
10.2. The milk in the canister won’t froth
Check whether whisk B (5) is inserted. Insert whisk B (5), if necessary.
