2. Fig.11 - Remove built-up coffee grinds from under the coffee group using a soft brush, or blunt
tool.
Do not perform this cleaning when the machine is still hot !

basket up to light when finished to make sure all holes are clear.
4. Fig. 14 Remove the steam wand and rinse under warm water.
AT THE END OF THE MONTH:
1. Your machine should be descaled monthly. A powdered coffee descaler should be placed into
an empty filter basket and installed onto the machine. Your machine should be on and water should
be filled completely in the tank. Place a cup under the coffee handle, turn the coffee button on and
allow 2 to 3 cups of water to cycle through until the water appears clear. A teaspoon of descaler is
all that is required. This will keep the handle, cremadisc and coffee group free of coffee grinds.
2. Remove the rubber frother by sliding off and clean the opening of the steam wand with a sharp
object such as a toothpick.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
A)
The machine does not supply hot water for espresso.
Make sure the unit is plugged in.
Power switch ( R ) and light should be on.
Wait for coffee light (M) to go off.
Unit will not be at correct operating temperature until coffee light (M) is off.
B)
The machine does not supply steam.
Power switch and light should be on.
Make sure the steam-on button (P) is on and flashing.
Make sure coffee light (M) is in the off position.
Make sure there is sufficient water in tank.
Clean out the steam tube by removing the rubber wand and cleaning out the opening located
in bottom of tube.
C)
Coffee overflows from the edges of the filter ring when making espresso.
Too much coffee packed into the filter basket.
Clean out coffee group. (fig.11)
Handle not secured correctly
Group gaskey worn, time to replace
D)
Coffee exits too slowly.
Make sure there is water in the tank and that the machine is in the
on ( R )
position.
Determine if the blockage is in the coffee handle or the coffee group. Operating the machine
without the coffee handle in place will narrow the problem to the group or the coffee
handle. Start by removing the coffee handle. Air blockage might exist in the pump, position
the steam wand over the drip tray, turn the coffee switch to the on position and press down
on the steam button (O) allow a few ounces of water to flow out of the steam wand. Release
the steam button, water should now exit out of the group, allow a few ounces to exit and
close the coffee button. If water is exiting slowly then the screen located in the coffee group
might be blocked. Remove the screen by removing the screw (fig. 12) clean out the screen
