Solution
If you want to prepare hot frothed milk or hot milk again
straightaway, the milk jug needs to cool down for a few
minutes before you can use it again. As long as the milk
jug is still hot, the temperature limiter makes sure that the
appliance cannot be operated. You can rinse the inside of
the milk jug with cold water to let it cool down faster.
Place the lid on the milk jug and turn it clockwise to fix it.
Clean the metal contact points on the handle.
Put the mains plug in an earthed wall socket.
Do not fill the milk jug beyond the MAX indication.
Use chilled semi-skimmed cow's milk for the best frothing
result.
If water has entered the milk jug because you rinsed the
milk jug too long or because you immersed the milk jug
in water, the safety drain valve lets this water flow out of
the bottom of the milk jug to prevent malfunctioning of
the milk jug.
The milk is heated up to approx 70°C to ensure the best
froth and taste. If you heat up milk beyond 70°C, it loses
its natural sweetness.
The appliance does not froth all the milk. The appliance
creates a balanced milk-froth ratio that enables you to
prepare the best. The milk easily mixes with coffee or
other beverages and the milk froth stays on top for a
delicious head.
