Frequently Asked Questions - ECM90 Healthy Choice

How do I descale the ECM90 coffee maker?

Descale every 2-3 months. Fill the water tank with a descaling solution suitable for coffee machines. Place a large container on the drip tray and run coffee and steam cycles until the tank is empty. Rinse the tank, fill with fresh water, and repeat to remove any residue.

Why is no espresso coffee being delivered?

Possible causes: residual air inside (open steam knob after heating), empty water tank, blocked filter or filter holder holes, or limescale. Refer to the troubleshooting section in the manual for specific solutions.

How do I program the coffee quantity?

While the machine is ready, press and hold the 1-CUP or 2-CUP button. The coffee will dispense. Release the button once the desired amount is reached. A beep confirms the setting. The shortest/longest times are 12-22 sec for 1-CUP and 20-51 sec for 2-CUP.

Can I use the steam wand for other beverages?

No, the steam wand is designed only for heating and frothing milk. Using it with other beverages may damage the appliance.

What type of water should I use?

Use only clean drinking water or filtered water. Hard water can shorten the machine's lifespan. Do not add chemical cleaners to the tank.

How do I clean the steam wand?

After each use, turn the steam dial to release a little steam to clear milk residue. Turn off the machine, let the wand cool, then remove the froth nozzle and wash it under running water. Never immerse the main unit.

Why is my coffee too weak or too strong?

Weak coffee: grind too coarse, too little coffee, or light tamping. Strong coffee: grind too fine, too much coffee, or heavy tamping. Adjust the grind, dose, and tamping pressure accordingly.

How do I reset the coffee quantity to factory default?

With the machine off but plugged in, press and hold 1-CUP and 2-CUP simultaneously for 3 seconds. A beep and flashing lights indicate reset.

Is the ECM90 dishwasher safe?

No, none of the components or accessories are dishwasher safe. Hand wash with warm water and mild detergent.

Why do the function buttons flash and no coffee is made?

This indicates an issue such as no water in the tank, incorrectly inserted tank, blocked filter, or limescale. Check the tank, clean the filter, or descale. If flashing persists, contact customer service.

Important:

Never operate the appliance without water in the tank or without the tank attached.

Please fill it with drinking water or filtered water. Hard water will cause to shorten the service life of the machine. Do not add any chemical cleaners to the tank.

Please note:

It is normal for there to be water in the space under the tank. This should therefore be dried regularly with a clean sponge.

7. FIRST USE

Before first use, rinse the internal circuit as follows:

1. Fill the water tank according to chapter 6 and attach the filter holder to the machine.
2. Plug in. All lights flash 3 times and all lights off for standby mode.
3. Press the ON/OFF button, the 1-CUP and 2-CUP lights flash to indicate the appliance is heating up.
4. Press the STEAM button and turn on the steam knob to release the residual air. Keep this operation last for 30 seconds until the steam comes out.

Important: The residual air inside may cause the machine to not work properly!

1. Turn off the STEAM button and press the ON/OFF button to turn off the machine.
2. Attach the filter holder to the appliance.
3. Press the ON/OFF button, place a container with a minimum capacity of 500 ml under the boiler outlet and press the 2-CUP button when the lights are steady. Repeat this operation 5 times.

8.1 How to make a hotter coffee

• Warm the cups before making coffee by rinsing them with a little hot water.
• Attach the filter holder to the appliance with the filter in place but without adding ground coffee. Using the same cup as will later be used to make the coffee, press the 1-CUP button. Discard the water after a few seconds, when the hot water had a chance to heat the cup.
• Rest the cups you will be using on the cup warmer which becomes hot during operation.

8.2 How to prepare espresso coffee using pre-ground coffee

• Place the ground coffee filter in the filter holder.
• For single-shot coffee, use the filter with the 1-CUP symbol on the bottom. To make a double-shot coffee or two coffees, use the filter with the 2-CUP symbol on the bottom.
• Place pre-ground coffee in the filter. Fill the filter a little at a time to prevent the pre-ground coffee from overflowing.

To remove/insert the filter, align the circular marking inside the filter to the notch on the handle-side of the portafilter.

Important: For correct operation, before filling with pre-ground coffee, make sure there are no coffee residues left in the filter from the last time you made coffee.

- Distribute the pre-ground coffee evenly and press lightly with the tamper.

- Correct pressing of the pre-ground coffee is essential to obtain a good espresso. If you press too firmly, the coffee will be delivered too slowly and will be over-extracted. If you press too lightly, the coffee will be delivered too quickly and will become sour.

- Remove any excess coffee from the rim of the filter holder and attach the filter holder to the appliance. To attach correctly, align the filter holder handle with the UNLOCK symbol, attach the filter holder and rotate the handle towards the right until aligned with the LOCK symbol.

- Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts.

• Make sure the lights corresponding to the coffee buttons are on, then press the 1-CUP or 2-CUP coffee button. The appliance proceeds to make the coffee and delivery is stopped automatically.

• To remove the filter holder, turn the handle from right (LOCK) to left (UNLOCK).

Danger of burns!

To avoid splashes, never remove the filter holder while the appliance is delivering coffee. Always wait for a few seconds after delivery.

8.3 Programming the quantities of coffee in the cup

The appliance is set to automatically deliver standard quantities of coffee.

To change these quantities, proceed as follows:

1. Prepare the espresso coffee as described in section 8.2
2. Place the cup or cups under the filter holder spouts.
3. Press and hold the button you want to programme 1-CUP or 2-CUP. The coffee maker starts delivering coffee.
4. Once the required quantity of coffee has been delivered into the cup, release the button. Delivery stops and the beep sound indicates that the quantity has been saved correctly.
5. When the two coffee lights turn on steadily, the appliance is ready for use.

Please note: For 1-CUP, the shortest delivery time is 12 seconds, and the longest delivery time is 22 seconds. For 2-CUP, the shortest delivery time is 20 seconds, and the longest delivery time is 51 seconds.

8.4 Resetting the quantity of coffee

If you want to reset the programmed quantity of coffee, please proceed as follows:

1. Connect the machine to the power supply but do not press the ON/OFF button.
2. Press 1-CUP and 2-CUP simultaneously (do not release) for 3 seconds, then the machine will beep and all lights will flash 3 times indicating that the quantity of coffee has been reset.

9. HOW TO MAKE CAPPUCCINO

1. Prepare the espresso coffees as described in the previous sections, using sufficiently large cups.

2. Press the STEAM button.

3. In the meantime, fill the milk jug with about 100 grams of milk for each cappuccino to be prepared. Put an empty container under the steam wand and turn the steam knob to release some steam. Turn back to the OFF position and remove the empty container.

4. Place the jug containing the milk under the wand.

5. Immerse the wand in the milk. Never immerse the black ring. Turn the knob to the STEAM position. To obtain a creamier froth, immerse the wand in the milk and rotate the container with slow upward movements.

6. When the required temperature (the ideal is 60^ C) and froth density is reached, turn the steam dial to the OFF position.

7. Pour the frothed milk into the cups containing the espresso coffee prepared previously, the cappuccino is ready. Sweeten to taste and if desired, sprinkle the froth with a little cocoa powder.

Please note:

• To prepare more than one cappuccino, first make all the coffees then at the end prepare the frothed milk for all the cappuccinos;
- To make coffee again immediately after frothing milk, the boiler must first be cooled or the coffee will be burnt, so we suggest pressing the 1-CUP or 2-CUP button and releasing high-temperature water before making another cup of coffee.
- Be careful about the splashing hot water and steam released from the steam wand.
- When the steam button is lit up, you can not choose the 1-CUP or 2-CUP function - press the steam button again to cancel the steam mode.
- Do not steam for more than 60 seconds.

10. HOW TO MAKE HOT WATER

3. Place a large container on the drip tray. Operate as if making coffee and steaming until the tank is empty.
4. Rinse the water tank and fill it with fresh water.
5. Operate as if making coffee and flush water through the machine. This will remove any traces of the descaling solution.
6. Store the cleaned coffee machine unplugged with no coffee in the filter and with the water tank empty.

11.2 Cleaning the drip tray

Important! Please pay attention to the amount of water in the drip tray. The drip tray must be emptied and cleaned otherwise the water may overflow and damage the appliance, the surface it rests on or the surrounding area. We suggest cleaning it after each use. When cleaning the drip tray, please proceed as follows:

• Remove the drip tray and cup tray.
• Separate the cup tray and drip tray, clean them with a soft damp cloth,

then reassemble them.

• Dry it and put it back in the machine.

11.3 Cleaning the coffee filters

Clean the coffee filters regularly:

• Rinse the filters under running water;
  • Make sure the holes are not blocked. If necessary, clean with a pin.
