    • S

    Why does my Petra KM 42 fill cups unevenly?
    • B
      bettysmithAug 21, 2025
      If the left and right cups fill unevenly, lower filling differences cannot be completely prevented. If the appliance has been used for some time, it will improve its response. Also, check if the appliance is located on a horizontal surface.

    What to do if water escapes from the handle of the pad cartridge on my Petra KM 42?
    • P
      Paul PaulAug 23, 2025
      If water escapes on the handle of the pad cartridge, check if the pad is properly located in the pad cartridge. If the paper edge projects over the edge of the depression, the seal will no longer seal during brewing.

    Why is the coffee quantity reduced in my Petra Coffee Maker?
    • R
      Ryan MeyersAug 26, 2025
      If the coffee quantity from your Petra Coffee Maker is reduced, set the rocking lever in area to the left as far as possible. Routinely check that the center opening of the pad cassette is unobstructed to prevent clogging. The appliance must be decalcified regularly.

    What to do if the decalcification program does not start on my Petra KM 42 Coffee Maker?

      If the decalcification program does not start on your Petra Coffee Maker, it is important that both buttons are pressed simultaneously. If you press one button earlier, the decalcification program will not start. Try it again and only release the buttons shortly after the pump starts.

    Why is there water under my Petra KM 42 Coffee Maker?
    • T
      Tiffany ThomasAug 30, 2025
      If water is located under the Petra Coffee Maker, empty the drip pan in time, only fill the water tank up to the max mark, and never let the appliance stand over an extended period without the water tank.

    Why is the crema quality insufficient in my Petra KM 42?
    • R
      Regina JacksonAug 31, 2025
      If the quality of the crema is insufficient when using your Petra Coffee Maker, remember that the best crema quality will only develop after the appliance has been in use for some time. Routinely decalcify and clean the filter insert. Ensure that the two filters in the filter insert are not pushed together; if this has occurred, the filter insert must be replaced.

    Why doesn't the frothed milk have sufficient foam in my Petra KM 42 Coffee Maker?
    • J
      jessicafreySep 2, 2025
      If the milk froth does not have sufficient foam, clean the professional milk frothing unit. Remove contaminations on the air duct of the tube adapter. Check if its opening is open. A tube adapter with a damaged air duct must be replaced. Use cold milk, directly from the refrigerator.

    Why does milk froth splatter and is very porous in my Petra Coffee Maker?
    • A
      Amber GreeneSep 4, 2025
      If milk froth splatters and is very porous when using your Petra Coffee Maker, push the tube adapter up to the stop into the mixer so that no gap is visible at the handle. Twisting the tube adapter will not result in any changes.

    Why does milk froth run continuously from my Petra Coffee Maker?
    • D
      Deborah GuzmanSep 7, 2025
      If milk froth runs continuously from your Petra Coffee Maker, the milk suctioning cup should be at least 14 cm tall; otherwise, the suctioning cup could be suctioned empty after frothing (siphon effect). Do not hang the tube directly into a 1 liter Tetra pack.
