| + | [title] Water Flow Problems |
|---|---|
| + | [* black] If there are problems with water flow, the unit should be disassembled for thorough cleaning. |
| + | [* black] Always use the Steam valve to prime the unit after cleaning (or running out of water) – this bypasses any back-pressure caused by the portafilter and fills the boiler with water. Once the pump is primed, run some additional water through the portafilter to verify it’s not clogged. |
| + | [* black] If the pump won't prime using the Steam valve, there could be a problem with a plugged or pinched tube; there could be a bad wire connection, the thermal protection for the pump could be blown, or the pump could be defective. |
| + | [* black] If water runs slowly through the portafilter, test without the portafilter. If it still runs slowly, clean the shower head. If it runs normally without the portafilter, disassemble and clean the portafilter. |
