What does Eversys error code S-018 mean?
A Cameo cleaning has to run to the end. If it is interrupted, the control shows "The last cleaning hasn't been finished correctly." as S-018. The maker's table says to press Continue to start the cleaning, explains that the cleaning cycle has been interrupted, and asks you to check whether the operator removed the bean hopper during the cleaning. It adds that a new cleaning has to be started again. So the cause the table names is the bean hopper being taken out mid-cleaning. The machine will not return to normal until a cleaning has run through. The control keeps the record of the unfinished cleaning, which is why simply carrying on making drinks does not make the message go away.
