8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your frother, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Frother does not start:
  • Ensure the frother is properly placed on the power base.
  • Check if the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet.
• Milk is not frothing or heating properly:
  • Ensure the correct whisk is inserted for the desired function (frothing whisk for foam, heating whisk for just heating).
  • Check that the milk level is between the MIN and appropriate MAX lines. Overfilling or underfilling can affect performance.
  • Use cold milk, preferably fresh and full-fat, for best frothing results.
  • Ensure the whisk is clean and free from obstructions.
• Milk overflows:
  • Do not exceed the MAX fill line for frothing (150 ml) or heating (240 ml).
• Burnt smell or residue:
  • Clean the frother thoroughly after each use to prevent milk residue buildup.
  • Ensure the frother is not operated without milk.
