•
Clean the outer surfaces, the base (10) and the power cable (11) with a soft, damp cloth, using a mild
detergent for stubborn stains.
Dry all of the parts thoroughly.
WARNING - potential damage to property
After cleaning and before using the device again, ensure that the contact area on the underside
of the canister (5) is completely dry and free from any detergent residue. If not, placing the canister
(5) on the base (10) 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.
•
Wrap the power cable (11) around the cable rewind under the base (10) in the direction of the arrow and
store the milk frother in a safe, dust-free place.
10. Troubleshooting
If your milk frother does not work as usual, use the following instructions to try and solve the problem. If working
through the following tips does not eliminate the fault, please contact our hotline.
10.1 The milk frother is not working
•
The plug is not inserted. Insert the plug into a 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 button (7) to switch on the milk frother.
•
The milk frother has overheated and the overheating protection is preventing the device from switching on. If
this is the case, the LEDs of the operating mode symbols (6, 8, 12) will stay on. Wait until the milk frother has
cooled down. Pour milk up to the MIN marking inside the milk frother to prevent this from happening. Now
remove the canister (5) from the base (10) for a moment.
•
The inserted whisk (3) does not rotate. The whisk drive axle may be stuck due to milk residues. Remove the
plug and fill the canister (5) with some lukewarm water. Leave the water in for some time and then try to rotate
the whisk drive axle several times with your hand. Pour out the water. The milk frother should now work again.
10.2 The milk in the canister won't froth
•
Check whether the whisk (3) is inserted. Insert the whisk (3), if necessary.
•
The inserted whisk (3) is not securely in place on the whisk drive shaft. Push the whisk (3) up to the stop on the
whisk drive shaft.
•
Please note that the frothing quality depends on the milk used and can vary greatly. See section "7.5 Tips on
how to make good milk froth".
