TROUBLESHOOTING 

PROBLEM

POSSIBLE CAUSE

WHAT TO DO

Grinder running 

continuously

•  No beans in hopper.

•  Fill hopper with beans.
•  Rotate the portafilter to the 

left to stop the auto grind, 

dose & tamp function.

•  Tamping fan has been 

removed.

•  Check that the tamping fan 

is in position and mounted 

correctly to the drive shaft, 

page 18.

Espresso runs out around 

the edge of the portafilter

and/or

Portafilter comes out of 

the group head during an 

extraction

•  Portafilter not inserted in the 

group head correctly.

•  Ensure portafilter is rotated 

to the right until the handle 

is past the centre and is 

securely locked in place. 

Rotating past the centre  

will not damage the  

silicone seal.

•  There are coffee grounds 

around the filter basket rim.

•  Clean excess coffee from 

the rim of the filter basket 

after grinding to ensure a 

proper seal in group head.

•  Filter basket rim is wet or 

underside of portafilter lugs 

are wet. Wet surfaces reduce 

the friction required to hold the 

portafilter in place whilst under 

pressure during an extraction.

•  Always ensure filter basket 

and portafilter are dried 

thoroughly before filling with 

coffee, tamping and inserting 

into the group head. 

Issues with the Auto Start 

feature

•  Clock not set or clock is set 

with incorrect time.

•  Check that the clock and 

Auto Start time have been 

programmed correctly. The 

LCD will display a clock icon 

when the Auto Start time is 

programmed.

ERR error message 

on LCD

•  A major fault has occured and 

machine cannot operate.
