Frequently Asked Questions - Arabica EX8178 TEFAL
How do I descale my Tefal Arabica EX8178?
Mix a descaling solution (e.g., citric acid or Tefal-specific descaler) with water in the tank. Run a descaling cycle by pressing the descaling button and follow the prompts. After the cycle, rinse by running two full tanks of clean water.
Why is my coffee not hot enough?
First, warm your cup with hot water. The machine also has a brewing temperature that may be affected by scale buildup. Perform a descaling and make sure the thermoblock is clean. If the issue persists, check if the cups are small or the extraction is too fast.
How often should I clean the steam wand?
After every milk frothing, wipe the wand with a damp cloth and purge steam for 2 seconds. Deep clean the wand weekly by removing the nozzle and soaking it in warm soapy water. This prevents milk residue buildup.
Can I use ground coffee instead of beans?
Yes, the machine has a ground coffee function. Open the bypass lid, add one scoop of pre-ground coffee, and select the ground coffee mode. This is ideal for using decaf or different blends.
What type of coffee beans should I use?
Use medium-roast whole beans that are not oily or flavored. Oily beans can clog the grinder and flavored beans may leave residues affecting the aroma. Store beans in a cool, dry place.
How do I adjust the grinder setting?
Turn the grinder adjustment dial located on the bean hopper while the grinder is running. A finer setting (lower number) is for espresso, while a coarser setting (higher number) suits long coffee. Adjust gradually and test.
What does the warning light mean?
The warning light indicates a malfunction or maintenance need. If it blinks, check that the water tank is fully inserted and filled. A continuous light often means descaling is required. Refer to the manual for specific codes.
How do I remove the brewing unit for cleaning?
Turn off the machine and unplug it. Open the side door and press the release button to pull out the brewing unit. Rinse it under lukewarm water without detergent, then dry and reinsert until it clicks.
Can I make hot water without coffee grounds?
Yes, use the hot water function. Place a container under the steam/hot water wand and select the hot water mode. This is perfect for Americanos, tea, or warming cups.
What should I do if the pump is noisy?
A loud pump often indicates air in the system. Check that the water tank is full and properly seated. Prime the system by running hot water through the steam wand for 10 seconds. If noise persists, descale to remove scale blocking the pump.
