MODEL-SPECIFIC QUICK ANSWER
SMEG ECF02 Manual Espresso Coffee Machine blinking lights and common signals
On the ECF02, the steam key flashing orange means descaling is due. The two espresso keys may flash briefly if the steam control is open, the heater is too hot, the tank is empty, or the tank is not seated. If the machine does not work and all LEDs flash, SMEG says unplug it and contact authorized service.
