Trouble-shooting
The orange control lamp is switched
off: there is not enough water in the
water tank.
Refill water.
Water was refilled, the orange
control lamp is switched off.
Switch on/off the machine.
Make sure that the floater in the
water tank is in the right position.
(The side of the floater with the
magnet point should face towards
the inside of the machine. The
floater itself should be inserted with
the magnet point on the lower part
of the floater side.)
The machine is switched on, but the
machine does not work.
The water tank is not fixed properly.
Fix the water tank properly.
Filter holder is not fixed properly.
Fix the filter holder properly.
Filter holder/ brewing group is
dripping
Group gasket is broken.
Change group gasket and net filter.
If the machine has not been used for a longer period of time, it is recommended to
.. clean the group
(see instructions, page 24). After this, please do not clamp the filter holder back to the group.
.. empty the boiler
. Switch the machine off (power switch in position “0”) and open the hot water dispenser. Due to
the boiler pressure, the boiler water is now discharged by the hot water dispenser. Close the hot water handle
(TECHNIKA) or the hot water lever valve (TECHNIKA PROFI) again after emptying the boiler. To restart the
machine, see chapter “First use”.
How to froth milk like a “barista”
•
If possible, use cold and fresh milk with a fat content of approx. 1.5 % or 3 %. Even UHT-milk is suitable.
•
Use a milk jug (made of metal) with a minimum volume of 0.5 litres. The size of the container should not be too
large. A small and high container is perfect.
•
Open the steam valve for approx. 5 seconds to release the condensation water and to create dry steam.
•
Fill
1/3
of the jug with milk and place it under the steam nozzle. The nozzle should be immersed in the middle of
the milk jug.
•
Slowly open the steam handle (TECHNIKA) or the steam lever valve (TECHNIKA PROFI). The steam pervades
the milk.
•
Keep the milk jug still.
•
After a few seconds, you will notice a light suction in the milk jug. The proper frothing begins. Move the milk jug
downwards while the milk level increases. The steam nozzle must be kept under the surface of the frothing milk.
•
Attention: When the desired amount of milk froth is reached, immerse the entire steam nozzle in the milk jug
and close the steam handle (TECHNIKA) or the steam lever valve (TECHNIKA PROFI).
Milk proteins “froth” with a temperature up to 77°C.
If this temperature is exceeded, the milk does not froth anymore.
•
If there is some milk left in the milk jug, let it cool down; it can be re-used later.
•
Advice: When the milk frothing is finished, just agitate the milk jug a little bit in order make the milk bubbles
ascend to the surface and to get a compact milk froth.
•
After frothing the milk, release the steam into the drip tray to avoid the steam nozzle to be blocked.
