Frequently Asked Questions - E6EC1-6BST ELECTROLUX

What to do if water leaks from under the machine?

First check the drip tray: if it's too full, clean it. If the leak persists, contact an authorized service center.

How to make a cappuccino with this machine?

First prepare an espresso. Then use the steam function: fill a jug with cold milk (preferably whole milk), immerse the steam nozzle about 2 cm into the milk, open the steam knob and froth until desired consistency. Pour the froth over the espresso.

How to descale the Electrolux E6EC1-6BST?

When all lights flash 5 times with 5 beeps at startup, fill the tank with 300 ml of water + descaling agent (or vinegar 1:1). In preheated mode, press the 1-cup and 2-cup buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds. Descaling starts automatically. After, rinse by performing steps 1 to 4 twice.

Why does my coffee taste sour or vinegary?

This may be due to insufficient descaling or stale coffee. Clean the machine following the first use procedure (steps 1-4) and use freshly ground coffee stored in a cool, dry place.

What to do if the steam function does not work?

Make sure the steam light is on (white). Use a suitable container (tall and narrow) and whole or semi-skimmed milk. If the light flashes quickly, put the steam knob back to off position. After 3 minutes of continuous use, the pump automatically stops.

How to adjust the water quantity for a personalized espresso?

In preheated mode, press and hold the 1-cup or 2-cup button for 3 seconds. Release, then press again to start. Press a second time when the desired quantity is reached. The machine memorizes this volume for future cycles.

What types of coffee can I use?

You can use ground coffee (one well-packed spoon) or standard 7 g E.S.E (Easy Serving Espresso) pods. Do not use coffee too fine or too packed to avoid slow flow.

How to clean the steam nozzle after use?

Immediately after turning off the steam, wipe the nozzle with a damp sponge. Be careful not to burn yourself. You can also let a little steam escape to clean the inside.

Why are the 1-cup, 2-cup and steam lights flashing quickly?

This usually indicates that the steam knob is not in the off position after steam or hot water use. Turn the knob to OFF. If the problem persists, perform a cool down by turning the knob to hot water for a few seconds.

How to start the machine for the first time?

Fill the water tank with cold water, insert the empty filter holder in the LOCK position, plug in the machine. Press the power button. After preheating (the lights stop flashing), press the 1-cup button to let water flow without coffee. Discard the water, the machine is ready.
