Making Hot Chocolate
The froth Select features a special hot chocolate function that allows
chocolate chunks or chocolate chips to be added directly to the pitcher.
The heating 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
heating disk. A minimum of 8-oz of milk should be used, otherwise the
milk may burn. A maximum of 16-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 113
grams (4-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.
Tips for using the froth Select:
• 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.
