Leaking; What Is The Color Of The Water That Leaked And Where Is It Leaking?; The Drip-Tray Is Full And Overflown; The Drip Tray Is Removed During Use - Gaggia Velasca Black Troubleshooting Manual

LEAKING

My GAGGIA espresso machine is leaking

What is the color of the water that leaked and where is it leaking?

1. Brownish water / water containing coffee particles in the drip tray or under the machine, see possible causes 1,2,3
2. Lots of clear water under the machine, see possible cause 4
3. Coffee / water is leaking behind the coffee spout, see possible cause 5
Cause 1: the drip-tray is full and overflown
1. If you see water in the drip tray do not worry. This is water from the self-rinsing cycles made by the machine during use,
which ends up directly in the drip tray.
2. To prevent the drip tray from overflowing:
3. Empty the drip tray when the 'drip tray full indicator' pops up through the drip tray cover
4. Fully insert the water tank
5. Before you start descaling the machine, make sure that the drip trays are empty
6. Place the machine on a horizontal surface
Cause 2: the drip tray is removed during use
If the drip tray is removed, it cannot collect anymore the water drops that fall from the brew group. This is normal behavior. Dry
the space under the machine.
