Just received this machine as a gift. I can't get past the priming stage to set it up. What can I do?

After priming and before your first cup of coffee/espresso, you must "brew" 3-5 cups with the pre-ground coffee function without using pre-ground coffee. The specific instructions on how to do this can be found in your operating instructions booklet. You can then set the machine to brew a consistent cup to your liking. Enjoy!

It should not be a problem. My suggestion for you is to get the manual and go through it step by step. It is a great machine and it should work fine.

Call the customer service first. They will walk you through every step necessary. If all their steps still don't work, they have an excellent repair and replacement policy. This machine makes great espresso.

You can prime on the press. The set up also comes with a seperate priming tray for off press priming. Instructions are included.

What I do is fill the entire canister with water from my tank. Then I prime a couple of times. Then I wait for the suction to build up in the canister ( about 2 mins.) when I see the water trying to move in the tubing I start priming. It will take about 10-15 pushes on the prime button before it starts working on its own. Also make sure the lever between the two inlets is in the right position.

Reread the instructions and make sure you didn't miss something. Then call Krups. You may have to hang up and call back in a few times until you get someone that bothered to learn the machines.

Probably an air bubble in it rock it and see if that helps if not take the top off and put it back on and prime it! Mine is so quite I wonder if it even works at times.

Sorry, I really don't know. I still have my manual that came with the machine. I know how to do everything I use it for so I don't have to look at the manual any more. It would be worth a try though.

I have the same issue. How did you contact the technician? Was his help free? I really don't want to send mine back after taking hours assembling it.

If that is happening, then the primer slide assembly is hanging up. Take it out and sand every edge with emery paper. Then clean that area and keep it free from powder flakes, primer debris, etc. Also, do not screw the primer seater punch all the way up, as it easily jams if even the slightest debris gets in it. Take it our and clean it every 50 rounds. The priming system is the only issue I have had with my Lock N Load. I have loaded well over 15,000 rounds of superb ammo with mine.

Take a look at the directions again. They're pretty specific on how to use it for the first time. After you follow the initial set up, you will have no problems!

Make sure that there is a primer.must hit it about three time with the choke on.hit the trigger on the gun to release the air and then try to start the motor

The quick answer is to use the "set" key hold it down until it responds then use the "mode" for up and use "mem" for down. When you get the right number hit "set" and move on to the next bit of info. Don't over think it. It's a very simple machine. Hope this helps. There should have been printed directions with it in the box.

Read the instruction booklet. I don't remember off hand, but it is during set up.

Try moving the choke lever around ours seems to be off( turned to full choke otherwise it doesn't run). Also don't forget to put the oil in the machine , it is in kind of a strange place

The application I use has the water source approx. 1 foot above the pump. Never had a priming problem. The water source flows into the pump priming it prior to using any power.
