What to do when General alarm: refer to user manual shows on the coffee machineKind of codeMode, not a failure
The machine is doing what it was set to do, not wearing out: a rinse that runs through the spouts at switch-on and switch-off, a descale or filter reminder counting the water that has passed through, an energy-save mode that darkens the screen after a quiet spell, or a demo mode left on from the showroom that lights the keys and pours nothing. No part is needed; finishing the cycle the display asks for, or a key sequence from the manual, ends it.
Usually leads toNo repair
Look for a matching symbol or request on the screen and deal with that first, such as descaling, a filter or cleaning the milk tubes.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for General alarm: refer to user manual on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Look for a matching symbol or request on the screen and deal with that first, such as descaling, a filter or cleaning the milk tubes.
If nothing else is showing, turn the machine off, let it cool, open the service door and clean out coffee residue around the infuser.
If the alarm stays after cleaning and every reminder is dealt with, book a visit.
Cleared?
The message is gone, and the machine grinds, heats and pours a full cup again with no new part. If it comes back within the week, or the descale or filter reminder returns straight after a finished cycle, say so in the booking.
What not to do
The alarm does not mean the machine has broken; in most of the listed cases it is a notice. On this model it also shows while auto-start or energy saving is on, so a setting can keep it on screen.
