oPerAtion - Problem solving
If a great deal of steam comes out of the opening between the water reservoir and the coffee carafe while
brewing the espresso, this can be caused by one of three things:
• The coffee carafe is not properly tight on the water reservoir.
• There is too much coffee in the coffee holder.
• There is too much water in the reservoir.
Switch the appliance off by removing the plug from the wall socket, allow the appliance to cool and then start
brewing espresso once more. Pay attention to the maximum quantity of coffee and water and make sure that
the coffee carafe is tightly screwed onto the water reservoir.
