Troubleshooting
Frother not turning on
Ensure the power cord is properly connected to both the base and the wall outlet. Check if the power outlet is functioning by plugging in another appliance.
Milk not frothing properly or heating insufficiently
Ensure you are using the correct function for your desired outcome (hot milk vs. hot foam vs. cold foam). Check that the whisk is correctly inserted and that the milk level is within the recommended maximum capacity (180ml for heating, 120ml for frothing).
Milk sticking to the bottom of the jug
Ensure the jug is clean before use. Use the recommended milk type and avoid overfilling. Clean the non-stick surface immediately after use with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water.
Appliance stopping unexpectedly
The automatic shut-off feature may have been activated. Ensure the milk level is appropriate and that the unit is not overheating from consecutive uses. Allow it to cool before restarting.
