DESCALING

We advise to descale your coffeepadmachine on a regular bases. The period depends on the condition of your water and the frequency of use. We advise to descale the coffeepadmachine approx. every three months. You can use a special descalingproduct for coffeemachines.

After the descending you will have to rinse the machine upto 3 times with 1 liter of fresh cold water to make sure that there is no descalingproduct left behind in the coffeepadmachine to avoid a bad taste to the coffee.

Attention! If you haven't used the coffeepadmachine for a while, for instance if you have been away on a holiday, you should remove all the separate parts for cleaning and rinse the coffeepadmachine with fresh water. Place the cleaned parts in the machine. This prevents an additional taste.

7 | SOLVING A MALFUNCTION

When the appliance has a malfunction, one or two pilot lamps will blink fast.

Lamp Co	or Condition Explanation
9/10 red	green	constantly Co
9 red blincking		slowly	Appliance is heating up.
9 red blincking		fast	Malfunction in the appliance, see the following table.
10 green	constantly	Drawing is locked
10 green	blinking	slowly	Don't open the drawer, it is still locked. Please wait a couple of seconds until the pilot lamp lights constantly.
10 green	off Drawing is not locked

Check the following steps to solve the malfunction yourself.

Cause

Waterreservoir is not placed correctly.

Solution

Empty the reservoir, fill it up again to the maximum-level and place it on the coffeepadmachine.

Cause

Waterlevel is under the minimum, < 1 cup.

Solution

Fill the waterreservoir to the maximumlevel.

Cause

Boiler overheated.

Solution

Switch the appliance off and rinse it as described in the chapter “To rinse the machine”.

Cause

There comes less or no coffee at all out of the coffee-outlet.

Solution

Remove the cremamaker by pushing it out, from below, with a blunt object like a pen or the back of a teaspoon and rinse it with warm water. One grain of coffee can cause it to be blocked. Check if the coffee-outlet is clogged and if necessary clean it. Check the position of the taste selector. We advise to loosen the coffee in the coffeepads before you place them in the machine. This will ensure a better transit of the water and will give a finer layer of coffeecrema.

Cause

Coffeepaddrawer won't open (vacuum).

Solution

You can solve the vacuum yourself by decompressing the appliance using the valve inside the small hole on the back of the appliance. Procedure: Make sure that the waterreservoir is placed on the appliance. On the back of the appliance you will find a small hole in the housing. Put a thin, blunt object inside the hole to activate the valve. Keep pressing it during several seconds until the water stops flowing back into the waterreservoir and the display is no longer blinking. Careful: the water that is being pumped back, is hot. You have successfully decompressed the appliance. After you can open the coffeepaddrawer again, you must clean the cremamaker and the multi-padholder. If you do not clean the parts, the cause of the vacuum will not be solved and at re-use the appliance will get locked again. Cleaning the cremamaker: Remove the cremamaker by pushing it out, from below, with a blunt object like a pen or the back of a teaspoon and rinse it with warm water. One grain of coffee can cause it to be blocked.

Cause

The lock does not work - the pilot lamp 10 keeps blinking.

Solution

Check if the coffeepad(s) has (have) been placed correctly. Coffeepaddrawer is not locked, open the drawer and lock it again.

Cause

The lock does not work - the pilot lamp 10 does not light up.

Solution

Check the multi-padholder - at the back there should be a protrusion sticking out, when this has broken off the machine is not able to make coffee. Order a new multi-padholder at your supplier.
