Frequently Asked Questions - 18110001 Gastronoma

Why is no coffee coming out of the machine?

Check that the water tank is filled, the machine is turned on and heated, and the steam pipe is not clogged. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of the manual.

How to get a nice crema on my espresso?

Use finely ground coffee for espresso and tamp it firmly with the measuring spoon. A too coarse grind or insufficient tamping reduces the crema.

The milk does not froth properly, what to do?

Use whole milk well chilled and ensure the machine is sufficiently hot. The milk froth button must be activated and the steam pipe immersed about 1 cm into the milk.

The indicator lights are flashing and I cannot prepare espresso

This means the machine is too hot (for example after making milk froth). Let it cool down by using the cooling function: place a cup under the steam pipe and turn the selector to the steam position until the lights flash slowly.

How to use the memory function for cup size?

Press and hold the 1 cup or 2 cups button during brewing. Release it when the desired amount is reached. A beep confirms the setting. To reset, press the 1 cup and milk froth buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.

How often should I descale the machine?

The frequency depends on water hardness. Generally, descale every 2 to 3 months. Use a mixture of acetic acid (1 volume for 3 volumes of water) or a commercial descaler. Follow the detailed procedure in the manual.

Can I clean the parts in the dishwasher?

No, unless indicated otherwise in the manual. The filter, funnel, and filter holder must be rinsed under running water. The drip tray is hand-washed. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.

What to do before first use?

Wash the removable parts with warm soapy water and dry them. Fill the water tank, insert an empty filter, turn on the machine, and run hot water with the 1 cup button to rinse the system.

What are the important safety precautions?

Do not use with a timer. Supervise children nearby. Unplug before cleaning. Do not touch hot parts. Use only on a stable, heat-resistant surface.

How to dispose of the machine at the end of its life?

Do not throw it in household waste. According to the WEEE directive, take it to a recycling center or return it to the seller when purchasing a new appliance.
