====Steam Not Heating====
* '''If the machine is producing steam, but you think it's not producing enough steam,''' make sure that you are purging the line before frothing. To purge the line simply open the steam knob and let steam come through until it changes from mostly water to mostly steam. When steam leaves the boiler and hits the cold wand it is going to condense back into water. If you do not purge the line it will affect the way the steam wand froths.
* '''Make sure the steam boiler is turned on for the machine.''' Most prosumer units feature a switch, button, or PID menu option to turn the steam boiler off.
* '''Give the machine sufficient time to heat up.''' A heating time of 20-30 minutes is recommended for prosumer style machines for it to be sufficiently heated for brewing. Make sure the portafilter is attached during heating.
* '''Make sure the heating indicator is on.''' If the heating indicator is not on, then the machine will not heat. Typically this light will be off if the machine is out of water or not able to fill the boiler.

This template calls troubleshooting instructions for a prosumer that is not heating for the steam function. The temp_adjust_style parameter will adjust the troubleshooting instructions based on the temperature adjustment style of the machine. If the machine uses a PID to adjust steam temperature set this parameter to "PID". Otherwise the instructions will default to instructions for a pressurestat.
