5. Press and hold the the Espresso and Lungo buttons together for 5 seconds until the Espresso button starts to blink slowly and the Lungo button is on continuously.
6. The machine dispenses the entire descaling solution at regular intervals. This takes up to 30 minutes.
7. Wait until the Lungo button starts to blink fast and the Espresso button is on continuously. The first phase of the descaling cycle has finished.
8. Remove and empty the container.
9. Place the container back under the coffee spout.
10. Remove the water tank and rinse it under the tap. Fill the water tank with cold tap water and place it back in the machine.
11. Press the blinking Lungo button to start the flushing cycle.
12. While the machine is flushing, the Lungo button starts to blink slowly and the Espresso button is on continuously. Note: The water tank will be emptied without interruption.

Rinsing the machine is started and performed by the machine.

The rinsing or brewing decaf with pre-ground coffee is started without the portafilter inserted. Insert the portafilter and the machine will start the process.

Possible cause: The machine safety is activated to not brew a new coffee when there is still an old coffee puck inside the portafilter.

Solution: Remove the portafilter and empty it, rinse it if needed and place it back into the machine. Always make sure the portafilter is empty before starting a new brew.

Possible cause: The plug was removed from the machine while the portafilter was in the grinding position.

Solution: Move the portafilter back to the starting position manually.

Possible cause: As soon as a drink button is selected, the button will start to blink slowly to indicate the direct start function is activated. The machine is heating up and the next step can already be made.

Solution: You do not have to wait. Move the portafilter handle to the right to start the grinding and brewing process.

Possible cause: The portafilter was not inserted completely while moving it to the right, or the portafilter got out of place while moving the portafilter to the right.

Solution: Give the portafilter handle a little push to connect it well into the machine. The machine will start to grind the beans. Always make sure you insert the portafilter into the machine fully, until you hear a click.

Possible cause: The portafilter is out of place after it is automatically moved back to the brewing position.

Solution: Give the portafilter handle a little push to connect it well into the machine. The machine will start to brew coffee.

Possible cause: The machine is still brewing coffee.

Solution: As long as the brewing process is ongoing and the selected drink led is blinking slowly, the portafilter cannot be removed from the machine.

Possible cause: The machine is trying to return to a neutral position but is not able to do so.

Solution: Unplug the machine, wait 15 seconds and plug the machine back in. When plugged back in, the machine will try to solve the problem. If this does not resolve the issue, try to unplug the machine, wait 15 seconds, and plug the machine back in one more time. If this does not work, the machine needs service. Contact the Consumer Care Center in your country.

Possible cause: The Intensity boost button is not selected.

Solution: After a drink recipe is selected, you can press the Intensity boost button to switch this function on. With the Intensity boost button selected the drink will be stronger (see ‘Intensity boost function’).

Possible cause: The coffee bean type or roast is not strong enough.

Solution: Try a different bean type or roast.

Possible cause: You are using the machine for the first time or after switching to a different bean type or roast. The dosing system needs to adjust.

Solution: Brew one or two more cups of coffee to optimize the dosing system.

Possible cause: The portafilter is not emptied before a new brew was started.

Solution: Always empty the portafilter before you start a new brew. Make sure there is no ground coffee remaining in the portafilter before you start the grinding and brewing process.

Possible cause: The brew was not started with an empty portafilter. There
