Frequently Asked Questions - HD8603 Caffitaly

How do I descale the HD8603?
Descale when the orange service indicator light stays on. Use only Saeco descaling solution (CA6700). Follow the procedure: switch off, fill water tank with descaling solution + water to MAX, place bowl under coffee spout, press and hold green on/off and white cafe latte buttons for 3 sec, then press espresso to start. The cycle takes ~30 min. After descaling, rinse with fresh water.
How often should I clean the milk carafe?
Clean the milk carafe weekly if used regularly. After each use, rinse the milk circuit (press orange rinse button). For weekly cleaning, disassemble the carafe lid, milk dispensing spout, tube, and fitting; wash with mild detergent and warm water; reassemble. The internal parts are dishwasher-safe.
What type of capsules can I use?
Only Caffitaly branded capsules are compatible. Using other capsules may damage the machine and void the warranty. Do not use ground coffee or instant coffee.
How do I adjust the amount of coffee brewed?
Press and hold the desired coffee button (espresso, lungo, or black coffee) for 3 seconds until it flashes. The machine starts brewing. Press the same button again when the cup reaches your desired amount. The new quantity is saved. Minimum 30 ml, maximum ~300 ml (250 ml for black coffee).
Why does my machine stop brewing during coffee preparation?
The water tank may be empty. Fill with fresh water to MAX, ensure no capsule is inserted, and press the selected coffee button again. The machine will resume. If the orange service light flashes, the internal circuit is empty; after filling, press the button to continue.
How do I rinse the milk circuit after use?
After preparing milk-based drinks, the orange rinse button lights up. Place a glass under the milk spout, ensure the milk carafe is attached, and press the rinse button. The machine dispenses water to clean the circuit. Then refrigerate leftover milk and clean the carafe regularly.
What do the different light signals mean?
- Green on/off flashing: machine heating up. - Green on/off steady: ready. - Orange service light steady: descale needed. - Orange service light flashing: water tank empty or internal circuit empty. - Orange rinse button steady: rinse milk circuit. - All lights flashing: error; contact Consumer Care.
How do I reset the coffee quantities to factory settings?
Switch off the machine, then press and hold the green on/off button and the blue black coffee button together for 5 seconds. All buttons flash twice to confirm reset.
What should I do before first use?
Install the machine on a flat surface, fill water tank with cold water, and prime the system: place a cup under the coffee spout (no capsule), press on/off, wait for green steady, then press the yellow lungo button. Let water flow until the tank is empty, then refill. Empty drip tray. The machine is ready.
What if no coffee comes out?
Check water level (fill to MAX), check capsule compartment is properly closed, ensure used capsule drawer is not full. If the pump makes noise but no coffee, the internal circuit may be empty – press a coffee button again. If scale buildup, descale the machine.
