Using the froth Control

The froth Control Automatic Milk Frother & Hot Chocolate Maker comes
equipped with a milk pitcher with lid, two frothing disks, one heating disk and
the base unit. One of the disks is installed inside the milk pitcher. The other disk
and the heating disk are stored underneath the base of the appliance.

Before First Use

Clean the milk pitcher and the disks under running warm water. Make sure the
underside of the milk pitcher is completely dry.

CAUTION:
Maximum Capacity - FROTHING: never fill more than 10 oz.

(see MAX marking inside milk pitcher)

Maximum Capacity - HEATING: never fill more than 14 oz.

(see "––––" marking inside milk pitcher)

Using the Frothing Disk

Never fill more than 10 oz. of milk or chocolate milk
into the milk pitcher ("MAX" marking); otherwise, hot
milk could spill over the milk pitcher onto the heating
platform. This may damage the interior parts of the
machine.
Note: For the CHOC setting, you may use the frothing
disk with a minimum of 8 oz. of milk and a maximum
of 14 oz. of milk.

Using the Selector Dial

The selector dial (F) will control the speed of the disk in the pitcher while the
frothing or heating disk will control the milk texture of the frothed or heated
milk. There is no right or wrong way to use the frothing or heating disks
combined with the different settings on the selector dial. The below
chart is a helpful guide, but individual results will vary depending on the
type of milk used and different ingredients that are added during the
frothing cycle. It is highly recommended to experiment with the different
setting and disk combinations, to create your own delicious recipes.

Hot Frothing and Heating Milk

Perfect for hot beverages such as cappuccinos, lattes, hot chocolate, flat whites
and milk steamers.

1. Plug in appliance.

2. Remove lid from milk pitcher. (A)

3. Place one of the frothing disks or the heating disk into the bottom of the milk
pitcher. Ensure the disk is completely snapped in. (B)

4. Make sure underside of the milk pitcher is dry.

5. Pour fresh cold milk into the milk pitcher (C) and replace lid. (D)

6. Place pitcher on heating platform. (E)

7. For frothing and heating milk turn the selector dial (F) to the (HOT) FROTH or
FLAT icon. When the (HOT) FROTH icon is selected the disk will rotate at
a high rate of speed. When the FLAT icon is used the disk will spin at a
medium rate of speed. Depending on which disk is used, this will help control
the final texture of the milk once the cycle is complete. Selecting the frothing
disk with the (HOT) FROTH setting will maximize the froth produced while
selecting the heating disk with the FLAT option will give almost no froth but
will heat/steam the milk.

8. Press the center of the selector dial and the frothing/heating action starts
automatically. The dial will illuminate blue and a short beep will indicate that
the cycle has begun.

9. When the milk has reached the maximum temperature, the appliance will
automatically shut off. The indicator light turns off and the frothing action
stops. A short beep will indicate that the end of the cycle has been reached.
The cycle can always be stopped manually by pressing the center of the
selector dial or lifting the pitcher from the base.
CAUTION: The milk pitcher is now very warm; the bottom of the pitcher is
hot. Only place the milk pitcher on a heat resistant surface.

10. Pour the warm milk into your cup and spoon the froth on top.

11. Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning the appliance.

Cold Frothing and Mixing Milk

Good for cold beverages such as iced cappuccinos, iced fruit lattes, cold malts
and mixing chocolate milk. Follow steps 1 through 6 above in “Hot Frothing and
Heating Milk.”

Note: For the best cold frothing or cold mixing results, it is recommended
to use the frothing disk.

1. For cold frothing or cold mixing (incorporating chocolate syrup into milk, mixing

malt powder, etc.) turn the selector dial (F) to the (COLD) FROTH setting.

2. Press the center of the selector dial and the frothing/mixing action starts

automatically. The dial will illuminate blue and a short beep will indicate that
the cycle has begun.

3. Once the frothing disk starts spinning, you may add any ingredients like

chocolate syrup, malt powder, etc.

7.

4. After a few minutes, the appliance will automatically shut off. The indicator
light turns off and frothing stops. A short beep will indicate that the end of the
cycle has been reached. The cycle can always be stopped manually by
pressing the center of the selector dial or lifting the pitcher from the base.

5. Pour milk into cup and spoon froth on top.

6. Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

Making Hot Chocolate

The froth Control features a special hot chocolate function that allows chocolate
chunks or chocolate chips to be added directly to the pitcher. The frothing disk
will rotate slowly, allowing the chocolate to gently mix and heat. You may also
add grated chocolate, chocolate syrup or powdered hot chocolate mix
directly to the milk pitcher. Follow steps 1 through 6 above in “Hot Frothing and
Heating Milk.”

Note: For the best hot chocolate results, it is recommended to use the
frothing disk. A minimum of 8 oz. of milk should be used, otherwise the
milk may burn. A maximum of 14 oz. may be used with the CHOC setting.

1. For hot chocolate turn the selector dial (F) to the CHOC setting.

2. Press the center of the selector dial and the frothing/heating action starts
automatically. The dial will illuminate blue and a short beep will indicate that
the cycle has begun.

3. After a few minutes of heating the illuminated dial will start to blink, and a series
of short beeps will indicate that it is time to add the chocolate into the milk
pitcher.

Note: Once the illuminated dial starts to blink, it will continue blinking
for approximately one minute. Once the light becomes solid, stop
adding chocolate and replace the lid. This will help to ensure that the
chocolate melts completely into the milk before the end of the cycle.

4. Remove the lid from the pitcher and gradually add small chunks of chocolate,
chocolate chips, grated chocolate or powdered hot chocolate mix into the
pitcher. For the best results, add the chocolate slowly by dropping it in small
amounts along the edge of the milk pitcher, away from the rotating disk. It is
not recommended to add more than 150 grams (5 oz.) of chocolate or
powdered hot chocolate mix to the pitcher for one cycle.
Note: If chocolate chunks are left in pitcher after the cycle stops you may
need to use smaller pieces. For best results, try to add all of the chocolate
while the light is blinking, otherwise the chocolate may not have time to fully
melt into the milk.

5. After a few minutes, the appliance will automatically shut off. The indicator
light turns off and the mixing action stops. A short beep will indicate that the
end of the cycle has been reached. The cycle can always be stopped manually
by pressing the center of the selector dial or lifting the pitcher from the base.

6. Pour hot chocolate into cup and enjoy!

7. Always unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.

8.

Tips for using the froth Control:

• When adding extra ingredients such as chocolate, smaller pieces will melt

more easily than larger pieces. “Chocolate chips” commonly found in the
baking section of most supermarkets work well.

• Always add extra ingredients along the edge of the pitcher, away from the

rotating disk.

• Always add extra ingredients gradually to help avoid interrupting the cycle.

• It is best to used shaved or grated chocolate when using the (HOT) FROTH

setting, as the smaller pieces are less likely to become stuck in the frothing disk
as it rotates at a higher rate of speed. Use the CHOC setting when adding
larger ingredients like chocolate chunks or chocolate chips.

• If the frothing disk becomes stuck and makes a loud noise, press the center

of the selector dial to stop the cycle. Remove the lid and use a small spoon
to gently mix the ingredients. Press the center of the selector dial to restart the
cycle.

Please note:

• When you remove the milk pitcher from the appliance during operation, the

appliance will automatically shut off. When replacing the pitcher, you need to
press the center of the selector dial to start the cycle again.

• If the heating plate or the bottom of the milk pitcher is still hot, the appliance

may not turn on. In this case, remove the milk pitcher. Cool it down by running
the bottom of the pitcher under cold water. Make sure the bottom of the
pitcher is dry and start over.
CAUTION: Do not place the milk pitcher in the microwave or on any other
heating surface.

Types of Milk

All kinds of milk can be used with this appliance (Whole, 2%, 1%, skim, soy milk,
almond milk, rice milk, etc.) Skim milk will produce the thickest, most stable froth.
Soy milk will produce froth with somewhat larger bubbles, but the froth is not as
stable. Always use milk that is as fresh as possible, to achieve the best results.

Cleaning

1. Unplug the appliance and let it cool down.

2. Remove the frothing disk or the heating disk from the milk pitcher. Clean

under running warm water.

3. The milk pitcher and lid are dishwasher safe (top-rack).

4. Wipe the heating plate with a moist cloth.

5. Discoloration of the heating plate may occur if milk spills onto the heating

plate. Scrub lightly with baking soda.

Frothing / Heating Disk Storage

One disk can be kept inside the milk pitcher. The two other disks can be stored
underneath the base of the appliance.
