Storing The Device When Not In Use; Troubleshooting; The Milk Frother Is Not Working; The Milk In The Canister Won't Froth - Silvercrest SMA 500 E1 Operating Instructions And Safety Instructions

WARNING of damage to property
After cleaning and before using the device again, ensure that the contact area on the
underside of the canister (6) is absolutely dry and free from any detergent residue. If
not, placing the canister (6) on the base (10) can cause a short circuit, which in turn
will result in a defective milk frother.

9. Storing the device when not in use

If the milk frother is not going to be used for a longer period of time, store it in a safe, clean and dry
place.
•
Before storing the device, clean it thoroughly as described in the previous section.
•
Wrap the power cable (11) around the cable rewind under the base (10) in the direction of
the arrow and store the milk frother in a safe, dust-free place.

10. Troubleshooting

If your milk frother does not work as usual, use the following instructions to try and solve the
problem. If working through the following tips does not eliminate the fault, please contact our
hotline (see the 'Warranty information' section).

10.1 The milk frother is not working

•
The plug is not inserted. Insert the plug into the power socket.
•
The power socket is faulty. Try the milk frother in another power socket that you know definitely
works.
•
The milk frother is not switched on. Press the button (8) to switch on the milk frother.
•
The milk frother has overheated and the overheating protection is preventing the device from
switching on. If this is the case, the LEDs of the operating mode symbols (7, 12, 13) will stay
on. Wait until the milk frother has cooled down. Pour milk up to the MIN marking inside the
milk frother to prevent this from happening. Now remove the canister (6) from the base (10) for
a moment.
•
The inserted whisk (4) does not rotate. The whisk drive axle may be stuck due to milk residues.
Remove the plug and fill the canister (6) with some lukewarm water. Leave the water in for
some time and then try to rotate the whisk drive axle several times with your hand. Pour out the
water. The milk frother should now work again.

10.2 The milk in the canister won't froth

•
Check whether the whisk (4) is inserted. Insert the whisk (4), if necessary.
•
The inserted whisk (4) is not securely in place on the whisk drive shaft. Push the whisk (4) up to
the stop on the whisk drive shaft.
•
Please note that the frothing quality depends on the milk used and can vary greatly. See
section "7.5 Tips on how to make good milk froth".
