switch-offf of the pump, the water in the appliance
is heated, until the display changes to green.
Rinsing not possible
Check whether the swivel lever (5) is in the area of
symbol „Brewing“ .
It is difficult to lock the brewing chamber
Check whether the pod is properly positioned in
the pod holder (7). The pod might have moved due
to a too zestful insertion of the pod holder.
If you use 2 pods, the lower one has to be pressed
into the cavity firmly.
Tap the pod so that a small cavity is formed in the
middle.
No coffee outflow despite pump is active
Try to push the swivel lever (5) in the “Brewing“
position a bit further to the left-hand side.
It might be the case that the opening in the middle of
the pod holder (7) is calcified or there is coffee pow-
der in it. A valve reduces the pressure to a unperilous
value and deduces water into the water container (3).
Check regularly whether the opening in the middle
of the pod holder (7) is free of coffee and lime.
It is not possible to brew hot water
6 Check whether the swivel lever (5) is over the
symbol „Hot water“ .
The first coffee fails
Possibly you have not rinsed the appliance sufficiently.
Rinse according to the instructions in the section
„Putting into operation“.
Intensity of coffee is not sufficient
The more carefully the soft pod is inserted, the bet-
ter is the coffee. Please observe the advice in sec-
tion “Brewing with coffee soft pods”.
The powder holder always has to be brimful as afo-
rementioned. Otherwise the coffee won`t turn out
well.
The coffee becomes stronger when you reduce the
filling quantity of the cups, as above-mentioned.
Choose a stronger sort of coffee.
Coffee is too strong
The coffee becomes less strong when you increase
the filling quantity of the cups, as mentioned in sec-
tion “Changing coffee quantity”.
Choose a milder type of coffee.
The crema deteriorates noticeably
The filter insert in the coffee outlet (8), which ensures
the optimal quality of the crema, is calcified or there
are coffee remains in it.
Descale and clean the coffee outlet (8) with the fil-
ter insert. Pay attention to the advice in section
„Cleaning and Maintenance“.
If you have to descale the filter insert several times
due to an insufficient crema, you should also descale
the appliance.
The two filters in the filter insert must not be pushed
against each other. If this happens, the filter insert
has to be replaced.
The brewing chamber cannot be opened
If the opening in the middle of the pod holder (7) is
calcified or there is coffee powder in it, the pressure
in the brewing chamber cannot escape completely
and the swivel lever (5) is blocked.
Unplug the appliance and let it stand for several
hours in order to relieve pressure. If this does not
work, you can clear the opening of the pod holder
(7) with a needle. For this purpose remove the
water container (3), the outlet insert (9), the drip
tray and the coffee outlet (8) together with the filter
insert. Rest the appliance on its side. The opening
in the pod holder (7) is now accessible. Try to clear
it with a needle. Caution! The coffee might splash.
Check regularly whether the opening in the middle
of the pod holder (7) is free of coffee and lime.
Water on the appliance under the water container
Possibly, you used the appliance without having closed
the lid (4). When heating, the expansion water drips
out of the overflow under the lid (4) – not as designed
in the water container (3) but next to it.
The lid (4) has to be closed during operation.
The coffee quantity reduces despite unchanged
settings
Always push the swivel lever (5) in the area of sym-
bol to the left-hand side as far as it will go.
Lime scales might block the inner mains and might
damage the appliance.
