15 PROBLEMS THAT CAN BE RESOLVED BEFORE CALLING THE SERVICE CENTER
If the appliance is not working, the causes of the malfunction can be identified and resolved by referring to
chapter 14. If, on the other hand, no message is displayed, run the following checks before calling the ser-
vice center.
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
The coffee is not hot
• The cups have not been preheated.

for at least 20 minutes on the cup warmer tray on the lid
(see note 3, chapter 5).
• Heat the infuser by pressing the button before
making the coffee (fig. 12, see note 3, chapter 5).

chapter 7).
• Use a type of coffee for espresso coffee makers.

The coffee does not come
out of one of the spouts.
• The spout holes are blocked. • Scrape off the dry coffee residues with a needle (fig. 24).
When the steam knob is
turned, no steam comes out

the appliance is off.
Attempting to remove the infuser
when the appliance is on may cause serious damage.
