FAQs
Can I use this for hot chocolate powder directly?
Yes, you can add hot chocolate powder or cocoa to the milk in the jug before starting the hot chocolate mode. This helps to dissolve the powder and create a smooth, rich drink.
What is the maximum amount of milk I can heat at once?
The appliance can heat up to 400ml of milk. For frothing, the maximum capacity is 250ml.
Is the glass jug heat-resistant?
The glass jug is designed to withstand the heating process. It is recommended to handle the jug with care, especially when hot.
How long does a frothing cycle take?
A typical frothing cycle takes approximately 60-90 seconds, depending on the selected mode and milk temperature.
Can I make latte art with the foam produced?
The foam produced is generally dense and creamy, which is suitable for basic latte art attempts, especially with dairy milk. Results can vary based on milk type and technique.
Does the appliance make noise when operating?
Like most milk frothers, it produces some operational noise during the frothing and heating process. The noise level is generally considered moderate.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Please refer to the product manual or the retailer's information for the specific warranty period, as it can vary by region and seller.
Troubleshooting
Appliance does not turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet and the jug is correctly seated on the base.
Milk is not frothing or heating properly.
Check that the correct whisk attachment is used for the selected mode and that the milk level is within the minimum and maximum fill lines indicated inside the jug.
Foam is too thin or watery.
Try using a different type of milk or ensure the milk is cold before frothing. Some plant-based milks may produce less dense foam.
Appliance shuts off unexpectedly.
The automatic shut-off feature is designed to activate after the cycle is complete. If it shuts off mid-cycle, check for overheating or ensure the jug is properly seated.
Difficulty cleaning the jug.
Rinse the jug immediately after use. For stubborn residue, use a non-abrasive sponge or place it in the dishwasher.
