Important to keep in mind
Solid chocolate should never be put straight into the jug, as it can damage the product.
Can I use plant-based alternatives?
You can use plant-based drinks in Silky.
For the best results, we recommend so-called barista products, which are plant-based alternatives specially developed to give a stable and creamy foam.
Examples of plant-based alternatives:
Barista oat drink
Barista soya drink
Barista almond drink
The Warm stir programme is particularly suitable for plant-based alternatives.
How much milk can I use?
Silky is designed to be used with between 150 ml and 250 ml of liquid at a time.
It is important to stay within the recommended amount to get the best results and to avoid the drink frothing over or the product not working as intended.
Minimum amount: 150 ml
Maximum amount: 250 ml
Can I wash the jug in the dishwasher?
The jug can be washed in a dishwasher.
For the best cleaning results, we recommend that you remove the silicone ring from the lid and wash it by hand. That way you make sure that all parts get properly clean.
The lid and whisk are also removable for easier cleaning.
How do I clean Silky?
Regular cleaning helps keep the milk frother in good condition and gives the best possible results.
How to clean the product
