Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, consult the following:
Problem | Possible Solutions |
---|---|
Machine frozen or unresponsive | Turn off, unplug, remove filter, wait 1 min, restart. Press and hold ON/OFF (N) for 3 seconds to start. |
Machine does not turn on | Check fuses and electrical outlet. Ensure power cord is securely plugged in. |
Machine requests unplug/replug | Unplug for 20 seconds, remove filter, then plug back in. Machine will reset. |
Power interruption during cycle | Machine resets automatically. |
Abnormal grinder noise | Check for foreign objects in the grinder (L). |
Water under the machine | Ensure drip tray (E) is correctly positioned and not full. Wait 15 seconds after coffee dispensing before removing the water tank (B). |
Hot water from coffee spouts/steam wand after shutdown | This may be a normal automatic rinse cycle. |
Grind adjustment knob (J) is stiff | Turn the knob only when the grinder (L) is operating. |
No coffee dispensed | Check for incidents during preparation. Machine may have reset. Ensure bean hopper (F) has coffee. |
Using ground coffee instead of beans | Vacuum out any ground coffee from the bean hopper (F). |
Steam outlet partially/completely blocked | Dismantle nozzle, clean parts, check nozzle hole. Use cleaning needle if needed. Run milk rinse cycle. Check steam outlet for blockage. If persistent, use mineral water and run multiple steam cycles. |
No steam output | Check steam outlet for blockage. If persistent, try the mineral water method described above. |
Steam escaping from drip tray grille | This can be normal depending on preparation. Ensure cleaning tablet chute (K) is closed. |
Steam under bean hopper lid | Ensure the cleaning tablet chute (K) is closed. |
Grounds collector prompt when not full | The machine prompts based on a set number of coffees, not just fullness. |
Descale prompt not appearing | Descale is prompted after significant steam circuit usage. |
Coffee grounds in collector | Normal for small amounts of grounds to deposit. Machine is designed to evacuate excess. |
Warning message remains after emptying collector | Reinstall collector (C) correctly and follow on-screen instructions. |
Warning message remains after filling water tank | Check water tank (B) positioning. Ensure the float (I) moves freely. Check and unblock the float if necessary. |
Machine does not suction milk / poor foam | Ensure One Touch Cappuccino unit (G2) is assembled correctly. Clean the mixer if blocked. Check steam outlet for blockage. Ensure milk tube (H) is not kinked and is submerged in milk. Rinse and clean the unit. Use fresh, cold milk. |
Milk or water not flowing correctly | Ensure One Touch Cappuccino unit (G2) is correctly positioned. |
Coffee flowing too slowly | Adjust grind fineness (J) to coarser. Run rinse cycles. Run the automatic cleaning program. Change the water filter. |
Milk traces in Americano/hot water | Perform milk rinse, or dismantle and clean the One Touch Cappuccino unit (G2). |
Coffee too light or not strong enough | Check bean hopper (F) for coffee. Reduce preparation volume, increase strength using Aroma+. Adjust grind fineness (J) to finer. Prepare in two cycles (x2). Rinse coffee circuit before brewing. |
Espresso/coffee not hot enough | Increase coffee temperature in settings. Preheat cup with hot water. |
Tea not hot enough or too hot | Adjust water temperature in settings. |
