- Residues of coffee grounds have remained on the seal of the fil- ter ring’s housing. Clean the seal with a toothpick. If the problem persists after performing the above operation, go to an Author- ised Assistance Centre.

D) The first coffee is not supplied or flows too slowly.

-It is possible that a slow supply of coffee is caused by insuf¬ficient supply of water from the perforated showerhead-type disc in the filter ring housing. In fact, it is possible that after several months’ use, grease or limescale may be obstructing perforated disc. In this case the Disc should be cleaned as previously described. Operate the machine without the filter ring, allowing the water to flow. If the water does not flow uniformly from all the holes it means that the disc is clogged. In this case it is a good idea to take the machine to the closest Authorised Service Centre to have it cleaned.

-To obtain a more concentrated and hotter coffee a more finely ground blend must be used.

In any case this problem can be eliminated by using the Thermocream® Disc which always ensures an extremely hot coffee and a rich cream, even with coarsely ground coffee.
