Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Tchibo Induction Milk Frother, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Frother does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet issue; frother not properly seated on base. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the frothing jug is correctly placed on the base unit. |
| Milk is not frothing or froth is poor. | Incorrect whisk used; insufficient milk; type of milk; whisk not properly installed. | Ensure the frothing whisk is used for frothing. Check milk level is between MIN and MAX lines. Some milk types (e.g., skim milk) froth better than others. Ensure whisk is securely attached. |
| Milk is not heating. | Cold froth setting selected; heating whisk not used (if only heating is desired). | Press the button once for hot froth/milk (red light). Ensure the heating whisk is used if you only want to heat milk without frothing. |
| Appliance stops unexpectedly. | Automatic shut-off activated; overheating protection. | The frother has an automatic shut-off after 3 minutes. If it stops earlier, allow it to cool down before attempting to use it again. |
