The milk frother can heat up to 180ml of milk at once. For frothing, the maximum capacity is 120ml.
Is the jug removable?
The whisk is removable for cleaning, but the main jug or carafe is not removable from the base unit.
How long does it take to froth milk?
The frothing process typically takes around 90 seconds, depending on the selected program and the starting temperature of the milk.
Can I use non-dairy milk alternatives?
Yes, the Smeg milk frother is compatible with various non-dairy milk alternatives such as almond, soy, and oat milk. The resulting foam texture may vary slightly compared to dairy milk.
Is the non-stick coating safe?

How do I clean the whisk?
The whisk is detachable and should be washed by hand with warm, soapy water after each use. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
Troubleshooting
Milk not frothing properly
Ensure the milk is cold and within the recommended frothing capacity (120ml). Check that the whisk is correctly inserted. Select the appropriate program for frothing.
Device not turning on
Verify the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the appliance has overheated; allow it to cool down before trying again.
Milk is too hot or burnt
This is unlikely with the induction system, but ensure you are not exceeding the maximum warming capacity (180ml) or using an incorrect program. Clean the non-stick liner thoroughly.
Buttons are unresponsive
Ensure the exterior and control panel are clean and dry. Try unplugging the unit for a minute and plugging it back in to reset.
Excessive noise during operation
Ensure the whisk is properly seated. Some operational noise is normal due to the motor and heating element.
