Troubleshooting Common Problems

Overview

This document describes an automatic coffee machine with a frother, designed for household use. It covers various functions, usage instructions, and maintenance procedures to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the device.

Function Description

The coffee machine is designed to prepare a variety of coffee beverages, including espresso, espresso lungo, and TrueBrew Over Ice™ coffee. It features a built-in coffee grinder, a frother for hot milk and cappuccino, and a hot water delivery function. The machine is equipped with a touch screen interface for easy operation and setting adjustments.

Coffee Preparation: The machine can make coffee using either coffee beans or pre-ground coffee. Users can adjust the coffee strength and quantity to their preference. For coffee beans, the integrated grinder allows for adjustment of the grinding level, which impacts the coffee's strength and creaminess. The machine can prepare one or two cups of espresso or espresso lungo simultaneously.

Milk Frothing: The frother (A20) is a key component for preparing cappuccinos and hot milk. It can be set to either "CAPPUCCINO" for frothed milk or "HOT MILK" for unfrothed hot milk. The frother delivers steam to heat and froth milk, allowing users to create creamy textures for their beverages.

Hot Water Delivery: The machine also provides hot water on demand, which can be used for warming cups or preparing other hot beverages.

Customization and Settings: Users can customize several settings to tailor their coffee experience:

  • Water Hardness: The machine allows users to measure and set the water hardness level, which helps in optimizing descaling intervals.
  • Temperature: The coffee temperature can be adjusted to low, medium, high, or maximum.
  • Auto-Off: The auto-off time can be programmed to switch off the machine after 15 or 30 minutes, or 1, 2, or 3 hours of inactivity, promoting energy saving.
  • Energy Saving: An energy-saving mode is available to reduce power consumption when the machine is on but idle.
  • Beep: The audible beep function can be enabled or disabled.
  • Default Values (Reset): All settings, including temperature, auto-off, water hardness, energy saving, and quantity settings, can be reset to their default values.

Usage Features

Before First Use: Upon unpacking, it is essential to check for completeness and any visible damage. The machine requires an initial setup process that involves filling the water tank, placing a container under the frother, and turning the steam/hot water dial to perform a rinse cycle. This ensures the internal circuits are clean and heated.

Turning On and Off: The machine is turned on by pressing the power button (A24) after ensuring the main switch (A6) is pressed. When turning on, the machine performs an automatic preheat and rinse cycle. To turn off, the power button is pressed again, which also triggers an automatic rinse cycle if coffee has been made. For extended periods of non-use, it is recommended to unplug the machine from the mains socket.

Making Coffee:

  • Using Coffee Beans: Fill the beans container (A3) with coffee beans. Place one or two cups under the coffee spouts (A19). Select the desired coffee type (Espresso, Espresso Lungo, Long) and strength. The grinding adjustment dial (A5) can be turned while the grinder is in operation to fine-tune the grind for optimal coffee extraction.
  • Using Pre-Ground Coffee: Ensure the pre-ground coffee function (B6) is selected. Add one level measure of pre-ground coffee into the funnel (A4). Place a cup under the coffee spouts and select the desired coffee. Only one cup can be made at a time with pre-ground coffee.
  • TrueBrew Over Ice™ Coffee: This function allows for brewing coffee over ice. Place ice cubes in a glass, select the desired strength (strong or extra strong recommended), and press the TrueBrew Over Ice™ button (B12). Additional ice, syrup, sweetener, or milk can be added after brewing.

Making Cappuccino and Hot Milk: Fill a container with milk (preferably cold, skimmed or semi-skimmed). Position the frother selection ring (A21) to "CAPPUCCINO" for froth or "HOT MILK" for unfrothed milk. Immerse the frother (A20) in the milk, ensuring the black ring is not immersed. Press the general alarm icon (B14) to start heating, then turn the steam/hot water dial (A23) to the "I" position to deliver steam. Once the desired froth is achieved, turn the dial back to "0".

Rinsing: The rinsing function delivers hot water from the coffee spouts to clean and heat the machine's internal circuit. It is recommended to perform 2-3 rinses if the machine has not been used for several days.

Maintenance Features

Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the machine's performance and hygiene.

Cleaning the Machine: Several parts require regular cleaning:

  • Internal Circuit: Perform rinse cycles and deliver hot water if the machine has not been used for 3-4 days.
  • Coffee Grounds Container (A11): Empty and clean when the corresponding light (B2) flashes, or after 72 hours, even if not full.
  • Drip Tray (A15) and Condensate Tray (A10): Empty and clean regularly, especially when the water level indicator (A13) protrudes.
  • Water Tank (A17): Clean regularly (about once a month) and when replacing the water softener filter.
  • Coffee Spouts (A19): Clean with a sponge or cloth and ensure the holes are not blocked.
  • Pre-Ground Coffee Funnel (A4): Check regularly for blockages and clean with a brush (C5).
  • Frother (A20): Clean after each use to prevent milk residue buildup. This involves delivering a little water, disassembling the frother, and cleaning its components, ensuring the two holes are not blocked.
  • Infuser (A8): Clean at least once a month. This involves turning off the machine, removing the water tank, opening the infuser door (A7), pressing release buttons to pull out the infuser, soaking it in water, and cleaning with a brush (C5).

Descaling: The machine needs descaling when the descaling light (B5) flashes. The descaling procedure involves:

  1. Turning off the machine.
  2. Emptying the drip tray and grounds container.
  3. Removing the water tank and any water softener filter.
  4. Pouring descaler (C3) into the tank up to level A, then adding water up to level B.
  5. Placing a container under the frother and coffee spouts.
  6. Pressing the OK icon (B15) to start the descaling process.
  7. Following the on-screen instructions, including turning the steam/hot water dial (A23) to the "I" position when prompted. The process involves a series of rinses and pauses to remove scale residues. After descaling, several rinse cycles with clean water are performed.

Water Softener Filter: If the machine is equipped with a water softener filter (C4), it should be installed and replaced every two months or after three weeks of non-use. Installation involves removing the filter from its packaging, setting the date disk, running tap water through it, immersing it in the water tank, inserting it into the filter housing (A18), and delivering hot water to activate it.

Important Safeguards: The manual emphasizes several safety precautions, including reading all instructions, ensuring correct voltage, avoiding hot surfaces, not immersing the machine in liquids, keeping it out of reach of children, unplugging when not in use or before cleaning, and not operating with damaged cords or plugs. Repairs should only be done by authorized service personnel to avoid voiding the warranty. The machine is for household use only.
