FAQs
Is the whisk attachment removable for cleaning?
The whisk is designed to be cleaned while attached. Avoid removing it unless instructed by the manual to prevent damage to the shaft.
Can I use this to froth hot milk?
Yes, it works effectively with both cold and hot milk to create a thick, velvety foam.
How long does a single charge last?
Battery life varies based on frequency of use and the thickness of the liquid, but it is designed for multiple sessions on a single charge.
Does it heat the milk?
No, this device is a milk frother only and does not contain a heating element. You should heat your milk separately before frothing.
Is the frother dishwasher safe?
No. The main body contains electronic components and the whisk should be cleaned by hand to protect the motor and finish.
Can I use this for non-dairy milks?
Yes, but results may vary. Oat and soy milks generally froth best due to their higher protein content.
Troubleshooting
Frother is losing power or spinning slowly
The battery likely needs to be recharged. Ensure you are using the correct charging cable and that it is securely connected.
Excessive splashing during use
Ensure the whisk is fully submerged before turning the power on, and try using a deeper container.
Whisk is vibrating or making unusual noise
Check the steel whisk head to ensure it is not bent or loose. Straighten it gently if misaligned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before first use, ensure the device is fully charged according to the included manual. The frother is compatible with most standard milk types, though performance may vary based on protein and fat content. To clean, rinse the whisk under hot running water immediately after use. If milk residue remains, run the whisk in a glass of warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, then rinse. Do not immerse the main body of the frother in water, as this may damage the internal battery and motor components. Store in a dry place to protect the finish.
