TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

If you are having trouble with the Instant Cappuccino please check the following:

Problem

Possible Causes and Corrective Action

1. Blue power on light does

not come on.

1. Make sure that the unit is plugged into the mains supply.

2. Press the power on/off button on the front of the unit.

3. Check the fuse in the mains plug.

2. The red ready light

around the on/off button
does not come on.

1. The unit has not reached operating temperature yet.

This takes approximately 5 minutes.

2. The unit does not have any power, see above.

3. Cappuccino has very little

or no coffee in when
made.

1. Make sure there is coffee in the dispenser.

2. Check to see if coffee is stuck in the funnel or coffee

dispenser. See problem 8 and 9.

3. Make sure that you turn the control dial fully to the COFFEE

SHOT position and back to the STOP position every time it
is used.

4. The machine stops while

dispensing cappuccino.

1. The milk tank has run dry. Move the control dial to the

STOP position and refill the tank.

2. The water tank has run dry. Follow the steam release procedure

on page 9 then pour 300ml of clean water into
the tank. Switch back on, allow the unit to reach operating
temperature then continue to dispense cappuccino.

3. Power has failed. Check supply/fuse.

5. The cappuccino is not

very warm.

1. Allow the unit to reach full operating temperature before

making each cup. This is important if making a large number
of cups. The red ready light will come on when the machine
is at operating temperature.

6. The machine makes a

loud noise and creates
a lot of steam while
dispensing cappuccino.

1. The milk tank has run dry. Move the control dial to the STOP

position and refill the tank.

7. There are pieces of

dark coloured skin in
the cappuccino.

1. The system needs to be cleaned. Follow the cleaning

procedure on page 7 and instead of flushing with clean
water use warm water with bicarbonate of soda, or if this
does not work, washing up detergent. After this flush the
system a minimum of four times with clean water to remove
the detergent.

Problem

Possible Causes and Corrective Action

8. The machine was not

cleaned properly after
last use.

1. Flush the system with detergent as described in problem 7.

2. If coffee was left in the machine carry out the procedure

in step 9.

9. Coffee was left in the

coffee dispenser and
the internal mechanism
and it has solidified.

1. Remove the funnel and if necessary break up the coffee by

gently prodding with a narrow blade such as the handle of a
teaspoon. Turn the control dial to the COFFEE SHOT position
and back to the STOP position twice. If coffee has solidified
in the mechanism you may need to apply slightly more force
than normal. Flush the machine with clean water Slide the
cover shut and lift the funnel from the machine. Wash and
dry thoroughly.

10. The machine makes

excessive noise when
the control dial is initially
turned to the
CLEAN/GO! position
and dispenses
very strong coffee.

1. There may have been some air in the machine. This occurs

occasionally. The machine will automatically clear in a few
seconds and cappuccino will dispense normally.

11. Cappuccino may

continue to dispense
for a few seconds after
the control dial has
been moved to the
STOP position.

1. A small amount of cappuccino will continue to be dispensed

as the machine finishes its cycle. Please make allowances
for this when filling your cup.

12. Milk drips from the pipe

after the control dial
has been turned to the
STOP position.

1. This is the residual milk left in the pipe that has not been

drawn into the machine when the STOP was selected.
