Reinserting the brew group
Before you slide the brew group back into the machine, make sure it is in the correct position.
1 Check if the arrow on the yellow cylinder on the side of the brew group is aligned with the black
arrow and N (Fig. 24).
-
If they are not aligned, push down the lever until it is in contact with the base of the brew group
(Fig. 25).
2 Make sure that the yellow locking hook on the other side of the brew group is in the correct
position.
-
To position the hook correctly, push it upwards until it is in uppermost position (Fig. 26).
3 Place back the coffee residues drawer.
4 Slide the brew group back into the machine along the guiding rails on the sides until it locks into
position with a click. Do not press the PUSH button.
5 Place back the coffee grounds container.
