Coffee ove-
fl owing from the
edges of the
fi lter ring.
Probably an excess
amount of ground coffee
has been placed in the
fi
l-
ter ring preventing the
fi
lter ring from being cor-
rectly tightened into its
housing.
Slowly remove and disconnect the
fi
lter
holder because any remaining pressure
could cause splashes or squirts. Clean
the coupling seat with a sponge (Fig. 9).
Repeat the operation placing the correct
quantity of coffee in the
fi
lter.
Residues of ground cof-
fee have remained on the
gasket of the
fi
lter holder
coupling seat.
Clean the seal with a toothpick or a spon-
ge (Fig. 9).
The
fi
lter
containing
ground coffee has a blo-

lead to sprays or splashes. Use a pin to
clean out the blocked outlet hole. Clean
the
fi
lter with the special tablets and fol-
lowing the instructions in the instruction
booklet

The coffee blend is ground
too
fi
ne.
Try using coarser coffee blends.
The coffee blend is pres-
sed down too much.
Amper coffee inside the
fi
lter using less
pressure.
There is little water and the
pump does not suck it up.
Check that the water level in the tank is
correct. If necessary,
fi
ll it with cool tap
water.
The coffee is too
watery and cold.
The blend has been
ground too coarsely.
A more
fi
nely ground blend must be used
to obtain a more concentrated and hotter
