6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your SHARDOR MF0801B milk frother, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Milk does not froth or froths poorly. | Incorrect milk type or temperature; insufficient milk quantity; whisk not properly installed or damaged. | Ensure fresh, cold milk (dairy or non-dairy frothing milk) is used. Check milk level is between MIN and MAX frothing lines. Verify whisk is correctly attached and undamaged. |
| Milk burns or sticks to the bottom. | Overfilling; incorrect milk type; whisk not rotating. | Do not exceed the MAX heating line. Ensure the whisk is rotating freely. Clean the interior thoroughly after each use to prevent residue buildup. |
| Frother does not heat milk. | Not properly connected to power; incorrect function selected; internal malfunction. | Check power connection. Ensure a heating function (Hot Thick Foam, Hot Light Foam, Hot Milk) is selected. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
