Preparation
Unpacking
♦ Remove all parts of the appliance and these operating instructions from the
carton.
♦ Remove all packing material.
♦ Clean the appliance as described in the section „Cleaning and Care“.
Disposal of the packaging
The packaging protects the appliance from transport damage. The packaging
materials are selected from the point of view of their environmental friendliness
and disposal technology and are therefore recyclable.
The recirculation of packaging into the material circuit saves on raw material and
reduces the amount of waste generated. Dispose of packaging material that is
no longer needed as per the regionally established regulations.
NOTICE
If possible preserve the appliance's original packaging during the warranty
►
period so that, in the event of a warranty claim, you can package the appliance
ideally for its return.
Operation
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
NEVER place the electrical plinth 6 in the vicinity of water - potentially
►
fatal from electric shock!
WARNING - RISK OF PHYSICAL INJURY!
► For safety reasons you should not open the lid 1 while the appliance is in
operation. There is a risk of being scalded.
► Always use fresh milk. Do not consume milk that has been standing in the

Heating milk
1) Place the whisk for heating 8 onto the drive shaft inside the carafe. One of
the whisks 4 not required can be clamped and stored in the whisk holder 2.
Keep the other unused whisk 4 in a clean, dry place, for example in a cutlery
drawer.
2) Take the carafe from the plinth 6 and pour the milk in. Thereby, fi ll it with as
much milk as is needed so that at least the minimum mark inside the carafe
is reached. However, never fi ll it with milk beyond the upper MAX-marking
(
3) Place the carafe on the plinth 6.
4) Put the lid 1 on.
5) Press the Start/Stop button 5. The integrated indicator lamp glows. The
whisk for heating 8 starts to rotate and thereby heats the milk uniformly.
6) The appliance switches itself off and the integrated control lamp goes out as
soon as the milk reaches a temperature of 60 - 65°C.
NOTICE
If you want to stop the preparation process before completion, press the
►
Start/Stop button 5. If you press the Start/Stop button 5 again, the

Frothing milk
Tips for the milk froth
■ Froth only cow‘s milk with this appliance. Other types of milk can be frothed
only subject to limitations, or can cause the appliance to overfl ow.
■ Low fat or skimmed milk does not burn on as easily as whole milk, however,
a too low fat content contributes to the risk that the milk will not be well
frothed. Therefore, when possible use a milk with 3.5% or 1.5% fat content.
■ Well-cooled milk can be better frothed than less cold.
■ Do not froth the milk a second time, otherwise it may burn on.
■ Leave frothed milk to stand for about 30 seconds before you put the foam
onto cappuccino, espresso, etc. Then the larger bubbles burst and the more
liquid milk sinks to the bottom. You can then use the fi ne foam.
Producing frothed milk
1) Place the whisk for heating and frothing 4 onto the drive shaft inside the
carafe. The whisk 8 not required can be clamped and stored in the whisk
holder 2. The other whisk for heating and frothing 4 you can store in a dry
and clean place.
2) Take the carafe from the plinth 6 and pour the milk in. Thereby, fi ll it with as
much milk as is needed so that at least the minimum mark inside the carafe is
reached. However, never fi ll it with milk beyond the upper MAX-marking (
If you do, the appliance may overfl ow. When frothing, the milk volume multiplies itself manyfold!
3) Place the carafe on the plinth 6.
4) Put the lid 1 on.
5) Press the Start/Stop button 5. The integrated indicator lamp glows. The whisk
for heating and frothing 4 begins to rotate, it heats the milk and froths it.
6) The appliance switches itself off and the integrated control lamp goes out as
soon as the milk is frothed.

NOTICE
If you want to stop the preparation process before completion, press the
►
Start/Stop button 5. If you press the Start/Stop button 5 again, the
preparation process will continue.
7) Wait about 30 seconds. In this time the still liquid milk fl ows to the bottom.
8) Remove the lid 1 and pour the milk froth into the desired container to make,
for example, a cappuccino.
Wait about 2 minutes before you heat up another portion of milk.
Using milk froth
You can use the milk froth for various drink variations:
Italian-style cappuccino
■ Pour an espresso (about 25 - 30 ml) into an approx. 120 - 180 ml cup.
■ Then pour milk froth onto it until the cup is fi lled to the brim.
Marocchino
■ Melt about a teaspoon of milk chocolate.
■ Spread the melted chocolate onto the inside wall of a glass and pour an
espresso in.
■ Add 3 - 4 teaspoons of frothed milk and then sprinkle it with cocoa powder.

Vienna Melange
■ Pour about 125 ml of strong black coff ee into a mocha coff ee cup.
■ Froth up about 110 ml of milk and add as much milk froth as is needed to fi ll
the cup to just below the rim.
■ Depending on personal taste, you can add a little sugar.

Cleaning and Care
DANGER - RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
Before cleaning it, disconnect the plug from the mains power socket!
►
Otherwise there is the risk of receiving an electric shock!
► NEVER open any housing parts. There are no user-serviceable elements
inside. When the housing is open, there is the risk of receiving a potentially
fatal electrical shock.
NEVER immerse the appliance in water or other liquids! This would
bring about the risk of a potentially fatal electric shock upon the
next use of the appliance should moisture be present in the voltage
conducting elements.
WARNING - RISK OF PHYSICAL INJURY!
► Let the appliance cool down before cleaning it. Risk of burns!
WARNING - PROPERTY DAMAGE!
Do not clean the appliance or parts of it in the dishwasher!
If you do so, the appliance will be damaged beyond repair.
► Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaning agents. These can attack the
surface and damage it beyond repair.
NOTICE
Ideally, clean the appliance directly after cooling, so that milk residues can
►
not dry onto it.
For the fi rst coarse cleaning put some water and a little mild detergent into
the carafe (the whisk used 4/8 is still fi tted). Thereby, pay heed to the
MIN and MAX
Start the appliance so that the whisk ploughs 4/8 through the water.
Afterwards, rinse the appliance out with copious clean water.
For a thorough cleaning, proceed as follows:
■ Remove the whisk 4/8 from the appliance to clean it and clean the inside
of the appliance with warm water. Add a little detergent. Wipe the interior
with a soft cloth or sponge. Pay special attention to the area around the
drive shaft. Afterwards, rinse the appliance out with copious clean water.
■ Pull the sealing ring 3 off of the lid 1 and clean both parts in mild soapy
water. Remove detergent residues with clean water and dry both parts well.
Push the sealing ring 3 back onto the lid 1, so that the outwardly facing
sealing lip is located at the bottom of the lid 1 and the inwardly facing sealing lip engages in the groove of the lid 1.

SMA 550 A1
■ Clean the whisks 4/8 in mild soapy water and then rinse them well with
clean water.
■ Clean all exterior surfaces, the plinth 6 and the power cable with a damp

soiling use a mild detergent on the cloth. Ensure that there are no detergent
residues located on and in the appliance before taking it back into service.
Storage
■ Let the appliance cool down completely before putting it into storage.
