6. Penyelesaian masalah
If you encounter issues with your Steba Yoghurtmaker JM 4, refer to the following common problems and solutions.
6.1 Yogurt Consistency Issues (e.g., too thin, whey separation)
- Kemungkinan Punca: Incorrect temperature or duration.
- Penyelesaian: Ensure you are using the correct program or DIY settings for your recipe. For specific cultures like L. Reuteri, precise temperature control is crucial.
- User Tip (for L. Reuteri yogurt): Some users have found that adding approximately 150 mL of water to the bottom of the appliance (around the glass jar) and placing small spacers (e.g., 3mm flat stainless steel nuts) under the jar can help distribute heat more evenly, especially for longer fermentation times (e.g., 36 hours at 36°C). This can prevent localized overheating and improve consistency.
6.2 Perkakas Tidak Dihidupkan
- Kemungkinan Punca: Tiada bekalan kuasa.
- Penyelesaian: Check if the power cord is securely plugged into both the appliance and a working electrical outlet. Test the outlet with another device.
6.3 Paparan Tidak Berfungsi
- Kemungkinan Punca: Power issue or internal fault.
- Penyelesaian: Unplug the unit, wait a few minutes, and plug it back in. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
