Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Sutaig Milk Frother BMF201, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Frother does not turn on. | Not plugged in; pitcher not correctly seated; power outage. | Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. Check if the pitcher is properly placed on the base. Verify power supply. |
| Milk is not frothing or foam is insufficient. | Incorrect milk type; milk level too high/low; whisk not installed. | Use cold, fresh milk (dairy or barista-style plant-based milk often work best). Ensure milk is between MIN and MAX frothing lines. Check if the frothing whisk is correctly inserted. |
| Milk is not heating. | Heating element issue; incorrect mode selected. | Ensure the correct heating mode is selected. If the problem persists, contact customer support. |
| Burning smell or scorched milk. | Milk level too low; residue from previous use. | Ensure milk level is above the MIN line. Clean the pitcher thoroughly after each use to prevent residue buildup. The frother has an anti-scorch design, but proper cleaning is essential. |
If these solutions do not resolve the issue, please contact Sutaig customer support for further assistance.
