TROUBLESHOOTING

Only perform the steps described in this instruction manual! All further inspection, maintenance and repair work must be performed by an authorized service center or a similarly qualified specialist.

Problem Possible cause                                    Solution

Appliance does not operate.

| Power plug is not connected to electrical outlet or power but- ton was not pressed.|

Plug in the power plug. Press the power button.

The single cup indicator and double cup indicator flash.| The bean hopper is not instal- led.| Install the bean hopper.
There are water marks on the bottom of the appliance.| The water tank or drip tray are not installed correctly or the drip tray is full.| Make sure that the water tank and the drip tray are installed correctly, and that the drip tray is empty.
No coffee comes out from the portafilter, coffee does not come out smoothly, or the portafilter cannot be installed in its bracket properly.| Excessive amount of coffee powder, too fine coffee powder or coffee powder pressed with excessive force.| The coffee powder should not exceed the amount suitable to the number of cups. Adjust the grinding setting of the grinder acordingly. Do not press the coffee powder repeatedly with excessive force.

Coffee has no crema.

| The coffee beans are damp or the coffee powder is too coarse.| Choose fresh coffee beans and powder with a medium grinding thickness.

No steam.

| The steam function is not preheated yet or the steam wand is blocked.| Wait until the appliance is preheated suffici- ently or descale the appliance and clean the steam wand with the cleaning pin.
The appliance does not make coffee or hot water immedia- tely. Instead, steam is relea- sed and the appliance auto- matically pumps water.| Normal phenomenon. After steaming is completed, the pressure needs to be released to reduce the temperature (takes approx. 20-30s). At this time, other operations cannot be performed. The water pumping is used for cooling down the heating element quickly. After this process is finished, the appliance can be used again as usual.
