This model has a self rinsing mode that is on by default.
It is important to rinse the system daily to remove any coffee residues from the coffee system. The hot water from the rinsing process also pre-warms the pipework.
It is also important to rinse the system at the end of each day.
The pipework is rinsed automatically then the coffee system is turned off if this function is turned on, and the coffee system has prepared at least one drink since it was turned on.
The machine comes with this function turned on.
If you are having a problem with your espresso/coffee machine with water coming out of the nozzle of your espresso/coffee machine or there is a smaller amount of water then usual that you notice coming out of the nozzle area, locate a pin or a sewing needle and clean the nozzle head with the pin or sewing needle. This actually happens due mostly to the grind level of the beans that most people have there unit set on. When you first get your machine there are actually no problems grinding your beans to the finest setting but as time goes on these small grinds end up building up and eventually clogging the nozzle head due to the fineness of the grind and the oil that is found in coffee beans. This also may require more then one cleaning with the pin or sewing needle on the nozzle head depending on how fine the grinds are that you use in your machine. All espresso/coffee machines should have this done often especially if you are used to a finely ground coffee. The simpler solution would be to turn down the grind setting but preferably more people set there unit to the highest grind setting thinking there will be a difference in the taste or strength or robustness of the coffee or espresso. If the beans are not ground at the maximum setting by turning the fineness of the grind down you not only save yourself the amount of time to clean the nozzle head with a pin or needle. You also prevent clogs of this finely ground amount of coffee from backing up in your water path within the unit as well. If the fine grounds are not removed in this manner eventually you can cause damage to the machines water pump as well. Thanks again Rick As you can see from other customers replys this does work very well at alleviating this clog issue in the nozzle head Click these links http://www1.fixya.com/support/t10480669-not_come_out http://www1.fixya.com/support/t10277688-not_getting_thick_plugs_grounds_more
All you need to do to get at the nozzle unit (which gets blocked over time with fine coffee sludge) is to press the sides of the rear part of the nozzle casing to release the four clips on the sides and simultaneously press the bottom up to release the bottom clip and the front will just pop off. The nozzle unit will have to be in the lowered position.
Once you have the front off you can simply remove the delivery pipe to the nozzle unit and pull the nozzles out and give it a good clean. Soaking in hot water helps - you will be amazed by how much crud is in there.
When you take the drip tray off, you will notice a little chute/nozzle the drips waste water into the tray when the machine turns on. This nozzle has clogged. Get a paperclip, straighten it and push it into the nozzle to clear the blockage. That\'s the good news/easy bit...
The bigger problem is that inside the machine, the pressure from the nozzle blockage has caused a little hose to pop off the back of the nozzle. Getting to it it to put it back on is a tough job. If the machine is under warranty, go get it fixed. If not, you may choose to send it for repair. It should not be an expensive job.
The upside is that there is little risk of major damage occurring since the hose tends to hang over the ventilation grill at the base of the machine, sending coffee-stained water over your benchtop.
If you are the type that likes to open up stuff and fix things for yourself, then the job is quite straighforward, but does involve removing screws, a couple of electrical connectors and the mainboard which you must swing out to get to the hose inside. Remounting the house can be an absolute bugger of a job - I ended up going out to buy a set of very long-nose pliers to get the job done.
Make sure you clear that nozzle when the hose is off FIRST otherwise the hose will just pop straight off again!
I have had this issue. I have removed round silver plastic piece from around coffee spout,(gently -do not crack it) I then removed and washed the black spout, I even used a toothpick once, to remove the stubborn coffee ground, Once it was cleaned - it worked perfect. If you run water from the faucet into spout it should flow smoothly. I warn you though, not sure what this does to any warranty, but don't mess with my morning coffee! I hope this helps.
If you look under that white nozzle you will notice a small hole that leads to the drain tray, clean out hole and the area or small enclosure around the white nozzle (clogged with coffee grounds), and make sure that if you pour a little water in that enclosure it goes to the drain tray. That will solve the water under machine problem. For the amount of water from the coffee nozzle, check brew unit, you will have to remove the shower screen and clean, make sure that the unit is not clogged in one of the tubes.
If the coffee brews hot then the problem is a blockage on the steam valve nozzle or line. Try removing steam wand and opening valve to see if it works, if it does the problem is in the wand that has been removed. Dismantle parnello and using a paperclip clear out the hole in the end of the steam wand.
Remove the nozzle on the end of the steam wand, them open valve to see if the steam wand works, if yes use a paper clip to clear holes on nozzle, if no remove steam wand where it is connected to the valve then open wand(steam will be spraying be careful). If you have steam there then clean wand and nozzle.
I had the same problem. I ended up taking the coffee machine apart and found that the reason coffee trickles out around the hot water spout is that the two coffee nozzles were partially plugged. Since I Had parts of the coffee machine apart I was able to clean it easily. It may also be possible to clean the assembly using a pick of some sort and clean out the holes of the two normal coffee spouts. Inside it is just a open cavity so gentle poking around and using some steaming hot water may do the trick.
If you want to take the machine apart you need to do the following:
1) take of the warmer plate on the top - 2 storz screws but an allen key works as well
2) take off the top plate of the machine - another 4 or 5 screws - make sure you empty the beans first otherwise you will have a mess
3) remove one screw from the right hand side of the removable coffee ground tray. Once this screw is removed the front panel is free to swing open except for the pipes connecting the front
4) unclip the steam assembly - there are a couple of plastic catches on the top. this will free the steam assembly from the front panel and also free a pipe connections. The steam dispenser pipe will also come free from the steam assembly.
5) remove the coffee pipes from the up and down sliding coffee dispenser. This is a small whitish color clip with 2 pipes connecting into it. The white clip has a little plastic catch on the top that frees it. The front panel should now swing open freely.
6) remove the sliding coffee dispenser from the front door. There are 4 plastic catches, 2 on either side. the whole front sliding coffee displenser now comes free
7) Take the sliding dispenser apart by release the 4 plastic catches on the front curved planel.
8) Inside the sliding dispenser is a white plastic piece that connected to the piping released in step 5. There is a small plastic catch that needs to be pressed while pulling fairly hard on the plastic piece and bending the whole piece.
9) You will now see the plugged spouts.
It goes back together really easily.
