Frequently Asked Questions - PICOBARISTO OTC HD8926/29 SAECO

The machine does not turn on, what to do?
Check that the power cord is plugged in and that the outlet works. Make sure the main switch (if present) is in the on position. If the problem persists, contact an authorized Saeco service center.
How to descale the machine?
Use a special Saeco descaling solution and follow the built-in descaling program. The machine will alert you when descaling is needed. Never drink the solution dispensed during this step.
The coffee is too light or too acidic, why?
This may be due to a grind that is too coarse. Set the grinder to a finer setting. Use freshly roasted coffee beans and check the water temperature.
The machine no longer produces steam or hot water, what to do?
Check that the steam wand is not clogged. Manually clean the wand. Make sure the water tank is full. If the problem persists, descaling may be necessary.
How to clean the automatic milk frother?
After each use, the machine performs an automatic rinse. Once a month, run the cappuccinatore cleaning program with hot water. Never put the carafe in the dishwasher.
The milk does not froth well, what to check?
Use cold milk (4-6°C) and make sure the milk carafe is correctly installed. Check that the suction nozzle is not blocked. The frothing system may need a thorough cleaning.
Can I use ground coffee instead of beans?
Yes, the machine has a compartment for pre-ground coffee. Only use ground coffee, not instant coffee or other substances. Using unroasted beans would damage the appliance.
The machine displays an error message, what to do?
Consult the manual for the meaning of the code. Common errors concern the water tank, bean hopper, or descaling. Turn the machine off and on after correcting the problem.
What is the best way to store coffee beans?
Store the beans in a cool, dry place away from light and humidity. Do not put them in the refrigerator. Preferably use beans roasted less than a month ago.
Does the warranty cover limescale damage?
No, damage caused by insufficient descaling is not covered by the warranty. It is essential to descale the machine regularly as indicated in the manual.
