Troubleshooting
Machine does not turn on
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functioning wall outlet. Check if the main power switch on the back of the machine is turned on.
No coffee dispensing or weak flow
Check if the water tank is full and correctly inserted. Ensure the coffee bean hopper is filled or the ground coffee compartment has coffee. Clean the brew unit if it is blocked. Run a descaling cycle if limescale buildup is suspected.
Milk frother not working or producing poor foam
Ensure the milk carafe is correctly assembled and attached. Clean the milk carafe and frothing system thoroughly. Make sure you are using the correct type of milk and it is sufficiently cold. Check that the 'LatteCrema' system is selected and any relevant settings are appropriate.
Error message on display
Refer to the machine's manual for specific error code explanations. Common solutions involve emptying the grounds container, filling the water tank, or running a cleaning/descaling cycle.
