OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE MILK CAFÉ™

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before first use, ensure you have all parts
and accessories - power base, milk jug,
latte disc, cappuccino disc, jug lid and
measuring cap.

Remove and safely discard all promotional
labels and packing materials attached to the
Breville Milk Cafe™.

Wash the milk jug, frothing discs, lid and
measuring cap in warm soapy water then
rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the exterior
of the power base with a soft damp cloth
then dry thoroughly.

CAPP LATTÉ

FROTHING HOT MILK

1. Place the milk frother on a flat level

surface and plug the power cord
into a 110V-120V power outlet.
The START | STOP button surround
will illuminate.

NOTE

After 30 seconds of non-use, the
milk frother will enter standby mode.
The button surround will cease to
illuminate. To reactivate, turn or
press the START | STOP push-dial.

2. Select the ‘Capp’ or ‘Latté’ frothing disc.

Choose the ‘Capp’ disc for thick and
creamy froth or the ‘Latté’ disc for
smooth and silky milk.

WIDER DISC END FACES DOWN

3. Insert the frothing disc onto the shaft at

the base of the milk jug. Ensure the disc
is inserted the correct way with the
wider part of the disc at the bottom of
the jug. The disc should ‘click’ securely

onto the shaft.

NOTE

If the disc is not inserted correctly
it may dislodge during operation, a
grinding noise may be heard, or milk
will not swirl.

Do not operate the milk frother
without a frothing disc inserted into
the milk jug as this can cause uneven
heating and burning.

WARNING

Frothing disc is a choking hazard.
Children must always be supervised
and never left unattended with
the appliance.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE MILK CAFəOPERATING YOUR BREVILLE MILK CAFə

4. Pour the required amount of cold,

fresh (or freshly opened) milk into the
milk jug then cover with the jug lid.
Always use cold milk and fill the milk
jug between the MIN and MAX level
markings. Overfilling may result in
spillage, while underfilling prevents the
frothing disc from working optimally.

NOTE

Never operate without the minimum
level of liquid in the milk jug. The milk
frother will automatically turn off if the
milk jug is empty. If this occurs, you
will need to wait for the milk frother
to cool down before re-use, refer to
page 14.

MIN MAX

For optimum results, there are different
measurement markings within the milk
jug. The chart on the right shows the
approximate number of cups produced
at each of the measurement markings.
This is a guide only as the frothing
disc selected and the type of milk, for
example whole milk (vitamin D), 2%,
1%, fat-free, half-and-half etc., can create
different amounts of froth.

NOTE

For optimum froth, do not exceed the

measurement marking inside the
milk jug.

5. Ensure the jug lid is securely attached

and the outside of the milk jug is clean.
Place the milk jug onto the power base,
ensuring the jug is sitting flat.

6. Turn the START | STOP push-dial

to the desired temperature. When
frothing milk for a cappuccino or
latte, we recommend staying within
the ‘OPTIMUM MILK TEMP’ range,
however this is up to your personal
preference.

If the temperature setting is changed
during operation, the milk frother will
stop at the new temperature selected.
The exception is if a lower temperature
is selected mid-cycle and the milk has
already exceeded the lower temperature.
In this case, the milk frother will
immediately stop.

ONLY PRESS ONCE, FIRMLY

7. Only press the START | STOP

push-dial once, firmly.. Frothing has
started once the milk frother beeps
once and the button surround slowly
flashes. If the milk frother does not do

this, try pushing the START | STOP
push-dial again to ensure it has been
properly activated.

NOTE

Do not remove the milk jug from the
power base during operation. Doing
so may dislodge the frothing disc
and cause a grinding noise. Always
press the center of the START | STOP
push-dial before removing the jug.
Operation has stopped once the button
surround has stopped flashing.

WARNING

Appliance surfaces will be hot during
and after operation.

8. When the milk has reached the selected

temperature, the milk frother will
automatically stop and beep twice. This
will take anywhere between 2 -7 minutes
depending on the quantity of milk used.
Carefully remove the milk jug from the
power base as the milk jug and contents
will be hot. Be careful not to place the
milk jug on a table cloth, plastic surface
or heat sensitive surface which may
scorch or melt. Remove the jug lid, pour
and/or spoon out the frothed milk.

9. Clean the milk jug and frothing disc

immediately after use. Both will be hot,
so follow the instructions on page 17 and
allow them to cool completely before
disassembling.

NOTE

When frothing multiple batches,
to prevent the Boil Dry Protection
from activating (see page 14), we
recommend allowing the milk jug
to cool for approximately 5 minutes,
or filling the milk jug with water for
faster cooling. For best results, we
also recommend cleaning the milk
jug and frothing disc before re-use.

NOTE

After frothing the first batch of
milk you may notice the power base
begin to hum. This is normal. It
is the cooling fan preventing the
milk frother from overheating and
will automatically cease to hum
once adequately cooled. During
this time, you may still use the milk
frother unless the Boil Dry Overheat
Protection as been activated
(see page 14).

USING THE ‘COLD STIR’ SETTING

The ‘Cold Stir’ setting allows you to
stir already cold or hot milk without
additional heat.

Use it to froth milk for cold beverages
such as an iced cappuccino; to blend in
syrups and flavorings for an iced chocolate
or mocha; or to stir in dissolvable instant
drinking powders into milk or water.

The ‘Cold Stir’ setting will operate for 60
seconds before automatically stopping. You
can re-select the ‘Cold Stir’ setting if desired.

OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE MILK CAFÉ™ OPERATING YOUR BREVILLE MILK CAFÉ™

NOTE

The milk frother has been designed
specifically for the purpose of
foaming milk and other dairy milk
alternatives and is not intended to
whip, thicken or heat other food
substances eg. oil, eggs, butter, heavy
whipping cream, soups, gravies etc.

The milk frother is not designed
to mix a large quantity of dry
ingredients or melt large food pieces
eg. cubed chocolate, ground nuts,
whole spices, fresh herbs or ice cubes.

ADDING INGREDIENTS

Always allow the milk frother to start for
a few seconds before using the measuring
cap to gradually add ingredients. If using
one of the heated settings, this will allow
the milk to warm up and help dissolve the
additional ingredients.

Always add ingredients slowly and in small
quantities. Adding ingredients too quickly
can cause the frothing disc to dislodge or
stop spinning.

NOTE

Frothing results differ depending on
the ingredients used. For example,
adding dense ingredients like thick
syrups, heavy powders and large
flakes can significantly reduce the
amount of foam.

SAFETY FEATURES

Standby

After 30 seconds of non-use, the milk
frother will enter standby mode. The
button surround will cease to illuminate.
To reactivate the milk frother out of standby
mode, turn or press the START | STOP
push-dial.

Boil Dry, Overheating Protection

The milk frother will automatically cease to
operate if the milk jug overheats. This can
be caused if the milk jug is empty, if liquid
is below the MIN measurement marking, or
after consecutive uses. If this occurs, 3 alerts
will sound. Unplug the power cord from the
power outlet, wait approximately 5 minutes
for the milk frother to cool down or fill the
milk jug with water for faster cooling. Once
adequately cooled, you will be able to reactive
the milk frother and recommence frothing.

Thermal Fuse & Current Protection

This feature protects the milk frother in
case of major fault. If this occurs, the milk
frother will automatically turn off and will not
reactivate. Immediately cease use, remove the
power plug from the power outlet and visit
www.Breville.com or call Breville Customer
Service at 1-866-BREVILLE for examination,
repair or adjustment.

CARE & CLEANING

for your Breville Milk Café™

CARE & CLEANING FOR YOUR BREVILLE MILK CAFÉ™

Both the milk jug and frothing disc should
be cleaned immediately after each use to
prevent build-up of milk residue.

1. Unplug the power cord from the power

outlet before cleaning.

2. The milk jug and frothing disc will be

hot immediately after use, so carefully
remove the milk jug from the power
base and fill with tap water. Once the
milk jug and frothing disc have cooled
completely, remove the frothing disc and
rinse off any milk in warm water.

3. Wash the milk jug, jug lid, measuring

cap and frothing disc in warm soapy
water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
The seal from the lid can be removed
and washed separately.

4. Wipe the exterior of the power base with

a soft damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.

NOTE

Do not use alkaline or abrasive cleaning
agents, steel wool or scouring pads on
any part of the milk frother as these can
damage the appliance surfaces.

NOTE

Never immerse the power base in
water or any other liquid. The outside
of the milk jug must always be clean
and dry before placing on the power
base prior to use.

NOTE

The milk jug, jug lid, measuring cap
and frothing discs can be washed in
the dishwasher (top shelf only).
However to extend the life of the
frothing discs, we recommend these
are washed by hand.
