Low water in the reservoir?

Well, that would be my guess . . .

It means there's not enough water in the reservoir. If it is full, then the tank might be misaligned. Try moving it a bit and check that the switch below it gets switched properly.

Hello,

Thanks for the response, crisis over it wasn't low water but you sent me the right direction. It was a few pieces of polystyrene packing under the plate the water tank sits on preventing the plate from being depressed there must be a read switch /sensor underneath the plate. No more beeping now working OK.

Cheers Lee :P

I just got my new machine today---had the same beeping, realized that first time you fill, most of it goes in to the boiler, so you need to fill the reservoir again.

My problem is---the steam pressure feels very low, takes forever to steam a small amount of milk.
The bottom gauge of the machine shows nothing, the top shows 1.2. Is the black steam switch on the side illuminated when on? (mine is not).

Any idea one what might be going on??

The steam switch on the right should go between green and red, let it warm up
