| + | }} |
| − | The machine is designed to brew at 9 bar with a flow of about 2 oz in 20-25 seconds. To adjust the brew pressure, install the backflush disc and press the brew button, then turn the adjustment screw located beneath the removable cup warmer until you get to 10 bar on the brew pressure gauge. This will result in 9 bar brew pressure. Turning the adjustment screw clockwise will raise the pressure and turning counterclockwise will lower it.

| − | <blockquote>Note: Brew pressure does not need to be exactly 9 bar for great coffee. It can a little above or below that mark without affecting results in the cup.</blockquote>

| − | ===Flow Issues===
| |
| − | Addressing flow issues starts with cleaning the machine. Before going through these steps please make sure the machine is cleaned according to the [[#Cleaning & Maintenance|Cleaning & Maintenance]] section of this article.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====No Steam Or Hot Water From Wand====
| |
| − | #Check the brew function on the machine and see if water is able to flow through the machine.
| |
| − | #*If the brew water is not flowing, either refer to the No Flow At All section of this article
| |
| − | #*If the brew water flows but is not hot, refer to the On But Not Heating section of this article.
| |
| − | #Turn the hot water function for the wand on and see if the machine can pass hot water through the wand.
| |
| − | #If hot water flows through the wand, then there may have been a blockage preventing the steam from coming through. Try steaming again.
| |
| − | #Turn the hot water function on for the steam wand to test for flow.
| |
| − | #*If nothing comes through refer to the Only Flow From Brew Head section of this article.
| |
| − | #*If water does come through try setting the machine to steam mode again and testing for steam. Running the hot water function can help remove blockages in the steam wand assembly.
| |
| − | #Unplug the machine and remove the top to check for any loose or disconnected wires, and resecure these connections.
| |
| − | #If nothing else looks wrong then the steam thermostat has probably failed in will need to be replaced.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Only Flow From Steam Wand====
| |
| − | Try these steps in the following order. Between each step, test the machine for flow. If flow is restored to the machine, descale immediately before returning to normal use.
| |
| − | #Test the flow of the machine without the portafilter attached. If the machine flows without the portafilter locked in, then one of the filter baskets is blocking flow. Clean the baskets by soaking them in a solution of hot water and backflushing powder for 30 minutes, or boiling the baskets for 30 minutes.
| |
| − | #Make sure the brew group is completely clean and free of debris. Inspect the shower screen for clogs or blockages by removing it and holding it up to a light source.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====No Flow At All====
| |
| − | If there is no water flow whatsoever, follow the instructions below. Once flow is restored, make sure to pull a full 8 oz. of water using the hot water function to ensure the machine is correctly primed.
| |
| − | #Check the water tank to make sure it is filled to the max line.
| |
| − | #Make sure the tank is sitting flush, and that the water tank valve is properly inserting in the socket.
| |
| − | #Activate the hot water function on the machine. You should hear a vibration noise coming from the machine to indicate that the pump is activated.
| |
| − | #*If you can't hear anything coming from the machine then there may be a loose or disconnected wire inside of the machine. Unplug the machine and remove the casing to inspect the inside for any loose or disconnected wires, particularly at the pump or the front switch panel. Firmly secure any loose wires and test flow again using the hot water function.
| |
| − | #*If you hear the machine vibrating then the pump is turning on. Unplug the machine and remove the casing to inspect the water lines inside the machine. Make sure there aren't any loose, kinked, or disconnected hoses anywhere.
| |
| − | #The pump of the machine may be vapor locked, requiring a force prime of the unit.
| |
| − | #*To force prime this unit take a kitchen syringe, turkey baster, or priming pump and fill it with water.
| |
| − | #*Insert the tip of it into the inlet line of the machine.
| |
| − | #*Activate the hot water function of the machine. When you hear the pump kick on quickly force water with your priming tool.
| |
| − | #*Immediately turn the machine off to prevent air from being drawn into the line.
| |
| − | #*Repeat this process multiple times. After 3-4 manual primes you should start to see water spitting from the steam wand. Once this happens you can put the inlet line back into the tank and try to prime the machine normally by pulling 8 oz. of water through the machine using the hot water function.

| |
| − | ====From Bottom Of Machine====
| |
| − | #Check the water tank and drip tray to make sure that are no cracks or breaks where water can escape. Make sure the tank and drip tray are properly inserted into the machine. The valve on the bottom of the water tank needs to be fully inserted into the corresponding socket for it to seal properly.
| |
| − | #Unplug the machine and remove the cover and top. Check for any loose or broken water connections, or any valve assemblies that are leaking.
| |
| − | #Examine the pump and boiler assemblies to see if there are any cracks in them. If the machine was exposed to subfreezing conditions without being properly drained, the process of water forming into ice can cause these parts to crack.
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====From Steam Wand====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | #If the wand is leaking from the tip it means the steam valve is not fully closed.
| |
| − | #*Try tightening the knob down firmly. Pressure from the boiler will leak through the wand if the steam valve is not securely closed.
| |
| − | #*If it feels like the knob is spinning in place then the knob may be broken. Try removing the knob and manually turning the steam valve closed. An adjustable wrench or a pair of pliers can help with this. If this stops the leaking then the square hole in the knob may have been deformed from over tightening, or the bow nut that secures the knob to the valve assembly may be stripped.
| |
| − | #*Descale the machine according to the instructions in the Cleaning & Maintenance section of this article. Scale buildup inside of the steam valve will prevent the valve from closing fully and can cause permanent damage to the valve. After the machine has been descaled run 4-6 tanks of water through the wand using the machine's hot water function to ensure any debris or scale in the valve is fully removed.
| |
| − | #*If the leaking persists then the steam valve will need to be replaced.
| |
| − | #If the wand is leaking from behind the knob assembly, then the nut that secures the valve tap needs to be tightened down. Part 5 on p.8 of the diagram needs to be tightened down.
| |
| − | #If the wand is leaking from where it connects to the machine then the wand is not sealing properly to the supply line. Make sure the wand is properly secured to the supply line by tightening part number 33 on p.8 of the diagram.
| |
| − | #If the wand is leaking from the ball joint:
| |
| − | #*First remove the wand arm. This can be done by unscrewing the hex shaped nut at the top of the arm, part 13 on p.8 of the parts diagram.
| |
| − | #*Once the wand is removed there may be parts that stick to the valve assembly. Do not lose these parts.
| |
| − | #*If the leaking was coming from the top of the securing nut, check the o-ring (part 9) to make sure it is clean and not damaged.
| |
| − | #*Inspect the tension spring to make sure it is in good condition. The spring should be really firm. If it is easily compressed then it may need to be replaced. At the bottom of the spring are parts 11 and 12. These mate with the ball joint on the wand to let it pivot. Make sure these parts are clean and reinstall them.

The float should be positioned so that the magnet is on the top and is facing the corner of the tank. [[File:ECM Magnet Alignment.png|200px|thumbnail|center|Properly Aligned Magnet]]
| |
| − | ##The magnet needs to be aligned with this sensor. If the magnet is positioned properly but the machine still thinks there is no water, then there may be a wire loose/disconnected on the sensor. [[File:ECM Magnet Sensor.png|200px|thumbnail|center|Water Tank Sensor]]

Please note that this machine does not have an auto-fill function for the boiler. The boiler must be manually refilled after any time the steam function has been used. The machine can overheat if the boiler is not filled.
