Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately switch off and unplug the machine. If you see smoke or flames, do not attempt to use it again.
- Allow to cool: Let the machine cool completely before inspecting.
- Check for external residue: Look for burnt coffee or milk on the cup tray, steam wand, or around the brew head and clean thoroughly.
- Do not open casing: If the smell seems electrical (sharp, acrid) or you see melted plastic, do not open the machine yourself.
An electrical burning smell indicates a serious internal fault. Have the machine inspected and repaired by an authorised Magimix service centre before further use.
