The Wamife Milk Frother (Model: TF101) is a compact and space-saving appliance designed for household use, capable of frothing and heating milk automatically. It offers four distinct functions: Cold Foam, Hot Foam, Hot Milk, and Hot Chocolate, making it versatile for various beverages like frothed milk, iced cappuccinos, and hot chocolate.
Function Description:
The device operates by placing a milk pitcher on a heating platform, with a whisk inside the pitcher to create foam or stir. Users select their desired function via dedicated operating buttons. The appliance then automatically processes the milk according to the chosen setting, illuminating the button during operation and shutting off automatically once the maximum temperature is reached or the frothing action is complete.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Maximum Capacity - Frothing: 120ml - 150ml (as indicated by the function marking inside the milk pitcher).
- Maximum Capacity - Heating: 400ml (as indicated by the MAX marking inside the milk pitcher).
- Cold Foam: Froths non-heating milk, takes approximately 2 minutes, and reaches a normal temperature state.
- Hot Foam: Froths and heats cold milk, takes approximately 3.5 minutes, and reaches a temperature of 65±5°C.
- Hot Milk: Heats cold milk (may produce a small amount of froth), takes approximately 4.5 minutes, and reaches a temperature of 65±5°C.
- Hot Chocolate: Heats cold milk with chocolate powder (may produce a small amount of froth), takes approximately 6 minutes, and reaches a temperature of 80±5°C.
- Compatibility: Works with all kinds of milk, including whole, 2%, 1%, skim, and soy milk. Skim milk is noted to produce the thickest, most dense froth, while soy milk produces froth with somewhat larger bubbles.
Usage Features:
- First Use Preparation: Before initial use, the milk pitcher and whisk disks should be cleaned under running warm water, ensuring the underside of the milk pitcher is completely dry.
- Setup: Plug in the appliance, remove the lid from the milk pitcher, insert the whisk, and pour fresh cold milk into the pitcher, observing the fill markings.
- Operation: Place the pitcher on the heating platform, ensuring its underside is dry. Select the desired function (Cold Foam, Hot Foam, Hot Milk, or Hot Chocolate) by pressing the corresponding button.
- Automatic Process: The selected button will illuminate, and the appliance will automatically begin the frothing or heating process.
- Completion: The appliance will automatically shut off when the milk reaches the maximum temperature, and the indicator light will turn off. The prepared drink can then be poured into a glass.
- Safety During Use: Always lift the pitcher by its handle as it will be hot. The bottom of the pitcher will also be hot, so it should only be placed on a heat-resistant surface. The milk pitcher is not suitable for microwave use and should not be placed on any other heating surface. Only the supplied milk pitcher can be used on the heating platform.
- Overheating Precaution: If the heating plate or the bottom of the milk pitcher is still hot from a previous use, the appliance may not turn on. In such cases, remove the milk pitcher, cool it under cold water, ensure the underside is dry, and then restart the process.

- Cooling: Allow the appliance to cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Never clean with scouring powders or hard implements.
- Servicing: Any servicing other than cleaning and user maintenance should be performed by an authorized service representative. The base should not be disassembled, and there are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repairs should only be done by authorized service personnel.
