MACHINE REACTS TO VOLTAGE WHEN TURNED ON BUT 

DOES NOT REACT FUNCTIONALLY:

1.  

The machine receives voltage when turned ON, but nothing functions.  

(LED are alight)
1a.   Measure the voltage of the mains, it must be sufficient to run the machine. 

Low voltage though an overlong extension cord or insufficient mains voltage 

will cause the PCB to go into tilt with continued blinking and strange readouts 

on the temperature display. Same or worse with over-voltage.

1b.   The PCB could be faulty. Exchange the PCB and see if the new one fixes  

the problem.

1c.   If the machine uses a transformer to create a neutral and to deliver single 

phase voltage (230V~) to the PCB and pumps, check the transformer and 

substitute if faulty.

MACHINE BUILDS UP NO TEMPERATURE AND/OR PRESSURE:

1.

  The pressure gauge MAP0027 shows no pressure.

1a.   Make sure that the boiler ON switch is enabled and the green boiler LED is 

blinking or steady ON (see picture 4) and the temperature display shows a 

temperature almost equivalent to what is declared in the instruction manual. 

Enable steam output on the hose and check if steam exits and if yes, then 

exchange the faulty pressure gauge. Otherwise see below.

2b.   Inspect the boiler safety thermostat, it may have been triggered. Try a reset or 

exchange. (see picture 5)

ATTENTION:

 The safety 

thermostat, MAP0206, sets 

off at around 210°C (410°F), 

cutting the power supply 

off. Causes can be boiler 

pump and/or level sensor 

failure or a failure of both 

pressure-stats! Identify the 

cause and exchange the 

faulty parts and set the new 

pressure-stats to the correct 

setting (see table 1 ).
