Troubleshooting Guide
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine does not turn on. | No power supply; power cord not connected. | Check if the power cord is securely plugged into the machine and a working electrical outlet. |
| Water scarcity alert blinking. | Water tank is empty or not installed correctly. | Refill the water tank with fresh water and ensure it is securely installed. |
| Full coffee grounds container alert blinking. | Used coffee grounds container is full. | Empty and clean the used coffee grounds container. Ensure it is reinstalled correctly. |
| Milk frother not producing enough foam. | Milk type (e.g., low-fat milk); milk tank not properly installed; frother nozzle clogged. | Ensure the milk tank is correctly installed. Try using different types of milk (e.g., whole milk). Clean the frother nozzle. |
| Coffee tastes weak or too strong. | Incorrect grind setting; coffee bean quality. | Adjust the grind control knob to a finer setting for stronger coffee or coarser for weaker. Use fresh, high-quality coffee beans. |
| Beverage temperature is not hot enough. | Machine not fully preheated; cold cups. | Allow the machine to fully preheat. Warm your cups before brewing. |
