•Hold the frothing jug at an angle so that steam wand and/or the frothing attachment sits just below the surface of the heating milk and the steam will move the milk around the inside of the jug in a circular motion.

•When the milk starts to increase in volume, immerse the steam wand and/ or frothing attachment deeper into the jug to heat the milk.

TO AVOID SPLATTERING OF HOT MILK, DO NOT LIFT THE END OF THE FROTHING ATTACHMENT ABOVE THE SURFACE OF THE MILK WHILE FROTHING. ENSURE THE SELECTOR CONTROL IS IN THE ‘STANDBY’ POSITION BEFORE REMOVING THE FROTHING JUG.
