6 - TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Troubleshooting/Solution Advice
| No steam output from the wand | The tip of the steam wand is clogged; unclog it with needle. This problem is caused by the way the tip is put into the milk. | Clean the steam tip after each use. |
| Leaks from filter holder Possible causes:1 - The group head gasket is worn or encrusted.2 - The filter holder is incorrectly inserted in the group. | Clean it using the brush supplied.Should the problem occur again, call a specialised technician | |
| Difficulty in inserting the filter holder on the group head | The problem can be caused by an excessive dose of coffee in the filter holder. | Decrease the quantity of coffee in the filter holder. (The standard doses x filters are 10 g per dose.) |
| Incorrect position of the filter holder once inserted in the group | Once inserted on the group, the handle of the filter holder has shifted to the right. The group head gasket is worn. | Call a specialised technician to replace the group head gasket. |
| The flow of coffee is scarce | The coffee is dispensed drop by drop, the output time is too long and the quality of it is not good, the cream is dark.Possible causes:1 - The coffee is ground too finely.2 - The coffee has been pressed too firmly in the filter holder.3 - The dose in the filter holder is excessive.4 - The group shower head is clogged.5 - The filter holder filter basket is clogged.6 - The pressure delivered by the pump is low (< 9 bar - 0.9 MPa), or is not working. | In cases 1-2-3, the problem can be solved by adjusting the grinding and/or dosing.In cases 4-6, contact a technician.In case 5, clean or replace the filter. |
Problem Troubleshooting/Solution Advice
| The flow of coffee is excessive | The coffee is dispensed too quickly and the cream is lighter than usual.Possible causes:1 - The coffee is ground too coarsely.2 - The coffee in the filter holder has not been pressed firmly enough.3 - The dose in the filter holder is too small.4 - The pressure delivered by the pump is too high (>10 bar - 1 MPa). | In cases 1-2-3, adjust the grinding and/or dosing of coffee.In case 4, contact a technician. |
| The coffee dispensed is too cold | Possible causes:1 - The filter holders are cold.2 - The coffee is ground too finely.3 - The machine water circuit is dirty (lime-scale).4 - The boiler pressure is lower than 0.8 bar (0.08 MPa). | In the 1st case, keep the filter holder inserted on the group.In the 2nd case, adjust the coffee grinding.In cases 3-4, call a specialised technician. |
| The coffee dispensed is warm | The coffee dispensed is warm even if the pressure is normal, between 1 and 1.2 bar (0.1 – 0.12 MPa). In this case, the pressure detected is false. | Call a specialised technician to check the bleed valve. Meanwhile, to use the machine, open the steam tap (Fig. 01; pos. 9); the boiler's pressure will drop to zero, thus activating the resistor and increasing the temperature. Perform this operation daily when turning on the machine. |
| The coffee dispensed is too hot | Possible causes:1 - The boiler pressure is higher than 1.3 bar (0.13 MPa).2 - The machine is covered by something that prevents it from cooling.3 - The machine was installed in a position that does not allow air circulation. | In the 1st case, call a specialised technician.In the cases 2-3, reset the machine cooling conditions. |
| Coffee deposits on the bottom of the cup | Possible causes:1 - the coffee is ground too finely.2 - the filter holder is dirty inside or the filter is damaged.3 - The grinding discs are worn.4 - High pump pressure (> 10bar - MPa). | Case 1 can be solved by adjusting the grinder correctly.In case 2, clean the filter holder or replace the filter.In cases 3-4, contact a technician. |
