Descaling:
- The machine should be descaled every 6 months if 2 to 4 coffees are served daily.
- Use a scale remover kit specifically designed for "1,2,3 SPRESSO®" machines, available from your distributor.
- Damage caused by scale is not covered by the warranty.
Dismantling the Coffee Unit (for cleaning or trapped pods):
- Stop and unplug the machine.
- Set the machine switch (no. 8) to the O position.
- Remove the machine cover (no. 1) by raising the handle (no. 2) to maximum, pressing the two silver-plated handle discs simultaneously, and pulling the cover upwards.
- Release the coffee unit by pulling the bolt towards you.
- Rotate the unit anti-clockwise to remove it.
- Reverse this procedure to refit the unit.
- Important: If the bolt is not fitted correctly in the unit, the cover cannot be closed, and a safety device will prevent refitting.
Refitting the Machine Cover:
- Ensure the coffee unit is in the open position (vertical lateral slots) and locked (grey catch clipped upwards).
- Raise the handle (no. 2) to maximum.
- While pressing the two silver-plated handle discs simultaneously, bring the cover (no. 1) over the coffee unit.
- Align the cover (no. 1) with the machine and push it downwards until the two silver-plated discs are clipped into position. The cover should then be impossible to raise upwards.
Troubleshooting (Anomalies):
"I CAN'T MAKE COFFEE."
- Check that the switch (no. 8) is set to I (On).
- Check that the white light is ON steady. If it's flashing slowly, the machine is heating, which is normal.
- Check that the machine is not on standby. If it is, press a coffee button (no. 4 or no. 5) or use the handle (no. 2, open/close) to turn it ON.
- Wait until the white light stays ON steady, indicating the machine has reached the required temperature.
- Check that the handle (no. 2) is lowered.
"THE POD FAILS TO EJECT."
- Check that the pod basket is empty.
- Raise or lower the handle (no. 2) several times if necessary to eject the pod.
"NO COFFEE IS SERVED."
- Check the water level in the tank (no. 7).
"THE WHITE LIGHT FAILS TO COME ON."
- Check that the machine is plugged in.
"THE WHITE LIGHT FLASHES RAPIDLY (UNLESS PROGRAMMING MODE IS SELECTED)."
- Check that the water tank (no. 7) is in position.
Environmental Responsibility:
- Electrical and electronic equipment should be sent to selective sorting sites for recycling. Do not dispose of it at unsorted municipal tips.
