TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem: Machine does not have power. 

Solution: 

•   Make sure the machine is securely  

plugged in.

•   Reset your home’s circuit breaker.
•   Confirm the power has been turned on and 

the controls are illuminated.

Problem: Machine will not brew.

Solution:

•   Turn off and unplug the machine for 30 

seconds or more. When you plug the 

machine back in, be sure to turn the power 

back on.

•   Make sure there is water in the reservoir.
•   Make sure the reservoir is properly installed.
•   Make sure brew head is completely closed.

seconds or more. When you plug the 

machine back in, be sure to turn the power 

back on.

•   Decalcify the machine (refer to page 9).

Problem:  The used capsule will not fall 

into the capsule container.

Solution:

•   Check to see if the capsule container is full. 

Empty the capsule container and then try 

again. (You may need to manually remove 

the used capsule from the brew head.)

Problem:  I want to reset the espresso/

coffee programming.

Solution:

•   See page 7 for instructions.

Problem:  The control lights are not as 

bright as they were.

Solution: 

•   The machine has an energy-saving feature 

that dims the lights and power by about 50% 

after 30 minutes of non-use. Restore full 

power by pressing any button.

Problem: Machine turned off.

Solution: 

•   The machine’s auto-off feature turns  

the unit off after 60 minutes of non-use.

Problem: Espresso/coffee is too hot.

liquids. The housing may be cleaned with a 

soapy, damp, non-abrasive cloth.

Cleaning the Drip Tray

To remove the drip tray, simply slide it toward 

you, keeping it level at all times in order to 

prevent spills. The drip tray and drip tray plate 

are top-shelf dishwasher safe. It may also be 

cleaned with a soapy, damp, non-abrasive 

cloth. Do not clean drip tray with cleansers, 

steel wool pads or other abrasive materials.

Cleaning the Water Reservoir

Water reservoir is top-shelf dishwasher safe.  

It is normal over time for discoloration, spotting 

or staining to appear in the water reservoir. This 

will vary depending on the mineral content of 

the bottled or filtered water used, but will not 

affect the operation of the machine. However, 

be sure to clean the water reservoir regularly to 

minimize buildup.

Cleaning the Milk Tank

Remove the milk tank by holding the tank  

and cover and pulling them away from the 

machine. Remove the cover and any excess 

milk, then pour water into the tank. Replace the 

cover, align the milk tank to the connector on 

the side of the machine, and push to install. 

Place a cup on the drip tray and position the 

steam/frothing wand in the cup. Adjust the 

length of the stainless steel sleeve on the wand 

so it is the proper length for your cup. Press the 

STEAM    button to start steaming water 

through the tank and wand to clean. Press the 

STEAM   button again to stop steaming 

before your cup is full. 
Follow by disassembling all of the removable 

parts, and 

wash by hand 

or place in the 

dishwasher. 

Run water 

through all the internal channels for thorough 

cleaning. To remove the steam/frothing wand, 

position it pointing straight down, then rotate 

counterclockwise and pull straight out. To 

replace, position steam/frothing wand pointing 

up and rotate clockwise. To remove milk tube, 

gently pull away from cover. To replace, fasten 

short part of tube to clear stem and fasten long 

part of tube to black stem. To remove the 

steam control dial, turn the dial left to the 

lowest setting ( ) and pull the knob straight 

out. To replace, position the dial at the lowest 

setting and push in.  

Note:

 For optimal cleaning we recommend that 

you periodically disassemble all removable 

parts, place them in warm soapy water and 

soak for at least 15 minutes. Rinse well, dry and 

assemble the parts as per above instructions. 

Decalcification

Mineral content in water varies from place to 

place. Depending on the mineral content of 

the water in your area, calcium deposits or 

scale may build up in your machine.  

Though scale is non-toxic, it can hinder 

performance. Descaling the machine will 

help maintain the heating element and other 

parts that come into contact with water. For 

optimal performance, descale your machine 

every 3 to 6 months. It is possible with heavy 

use and/or hard water for calcium to build up 

faster, making it necessary to de-scale more 

often. Some indications that it is time to 

decalcify may be longer brewing times, 

excessive steaming, lower coffee temperatures 

and brews less than a full cup. If you 

experience any of these, 

decalcify immediately. If 

you do not experience any 

of the above, the unit will 

notify you when it is time to 

decalcify by flashing the 

STEAM   and TEMPERATURE     LEDs 

quickly for 10 seconds after preheat/ready 

mode. This will happen every time you turn on 

the unit or wake up the unit from sleep mode 

until you decalcify. 

Note:

 The unit can still be 

used until you decalcify. 

To begin, you will need the following:

6 ounces (177 ml) distilled white vinegar
6 ounces (177 ml) water
2 large (12 ounces [354 ml]) ceramic mugs or 

containers (do not use paper cups)

Step 1: Vinegar Rinse 

•   Fill water reservoir with 6 

ounces (177 ml) of water and 

6 ounces (177 ml) of white 

vinegar and replace.

•   Remove milk tank and replace with cleaning 

tool. 

DO NOT DECALCIFY WITH MILK 

TANK IN PLACE.

•   Place one ceramic mug or container below 

the cleaning tool and one on the drip tray.

•   Lift brew head lever to make sure there is 

no capsule inside.
