|<h4>Wand Frothing Issues</h4>

If the machine has little to no steam flow through the steam wand first check to make sure there are no [[#No Flow From Steam Wand|blockages in the steam wand]]. Otherwise an adjustment to frothing technique needs to be made. When manually frothing, technique is very important and a tight microfoam will not be accomplished if the proper technique is not followed.

The following video shows how to properly froth with a manual style wand:

There are also some common mistakes made when manually frothing that should be avoided. The video below gives further details:

====Carafe Frothing Issues====

}}
Before going through the following steps make sure to try all of the recommended [[#Milk Carafe Maintenance|cleaning and maintenance]] has been done.

#If there is nothing coming out of the carafe at all:
##Check the carafe to make sure it is securely attached to the machine and that the machine recognizes the carafe is in place.
##Make sure the carafe is properly assembled. Inspect the parts to make sure none of them appear broken, damaged, or missing. {{{carafe_disassembly_instr|}}}
##The machine may not be producing steam because of a thermostat issue. {{{error_code_instr|}}}
#If the carafe is spitting or not producing foam:
##The machine is set to a low froth setting. Check the machine settings to make sure it is set to the maximum froth. There is also a milk setting, which should also be set to max.
##A non-compatible milk is being used. The machine is designed for use with whole or 2% milk, so the best results will be achieved by using these milks.
##Make sure the carafe is properly assembled. Inspect the parts to make sure none of them appear broken, damaged, or missing. {{{carafe_disassembly_instr|}}}
{{#if: {{{further_disassembly_instr|}}}|
##The arm of the carafe disassembles further and should be taken apart to make sure everything is positioned properly and attached correctly. This document discusses how to disassemble the carafe further: {{{further_disassembly_instr}}}

This template calls instructions for cleaning a auto milk-carafe on a super-automatic machine. The further_disassembly_instr paramater can be filled in if there are instructions for disassembling the carafe further, otherwise this step will be removed from the instructions.
