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

period so that, in the event of a warranty claim, you can package the appli-
ance ideally for its return.

Operation
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
► NEVER place the electrical plinth 6in the vicinity of water - potentially
fatal from electric shock!
WARNING - RISK OF PHYSICAL INJURY!
► For safety reasons you should not open the lid 1while 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 6during the preparation process, the
appliance will stop. You will have to start the preparation process again by
pressing the Start/Stop button 5.
Heating milk
1) Place the whisk for heating 8onto the drive shaft inside the carafe. One of
the whisks 4not required can be clamped and stored in the whisk holder 2.
Keep the other unused whisk 4in a clean, dry place, for example in a cutlery
drawer.
2) Take the carafe from the plinth 6and 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 6.
4) Put the lid 1on.
5) Press the Start/Stop button 5. The integrated indicator lamp glows. The
whisk for heating 8starts to rotate and thereby heats the milk uniformly.
6) The appliance switches off and the integrated indicator lamp glows for about
30 seconds as soon as the milk is heated to about 60 - 65°C.
NOTICE
► If you want to stop the preparation process before completion, press the
Start/Stop button 5. If you press the Start/Stop button 5again, the
preparation process will continue.
7) Take the lid off 1and pour the hot milk into the desired container.
Wait about 2 minutes before you heat up another portion of milk.

Frothing 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.
Producing frothed milk
1) Place the whisk for heating and frothing 4onto the drive shaft inside the
carafe. The whisk 8not required can be clamped and stored in the whisk
holder 2. The other whisk for heating and frothing 4you can store in a dry
and clean place.
2) Take the carafe from the plinth 6and 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 6.
4) Put the lid 1on.
5) Press the Start/Stop button 5. The integrated indicator lamp glows. The whisk
for heating and frothing 4begins to rotate, it heats the milk and froths it.
6) The appliance switches off and the integrated indicator lamp glows for about
30 seconds as soon as the milk is frothed.
NOTICE
► If you want to stop the preparation process before completion, press the
Start/Stop button 5. If you press the Start/Stop button 5again, the
preparation process will continue.
7) Wait about 30 seconds. In this time the still liquid milk flows to the bottom.
8) Remove the lid 1and 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.
