Problem
The machine grinds the
coffee beans, but coffee
does not come out or
coffee comes out slowly.
The milk does not froth.
There is water under the
machine.
I cannot activate the
AquaClean filter and the
machine asks for
descaling.
Cause
The coffee exit duct is blocked.
The AquaClean filter was not
prepared well for installation.
The grinder is set to a too fine
setting.
The brew group is dirty.
The coffee dispensing spout is
dirty.
The machine circuit is blocked
by limescale.
The milk carafe is dirty or not
inserted correctly.
The milk dispensing spout has
not been opened fully.
The milk carafe is incompletely
assembled.
The type of milk used is not
suitable for frothing.
The drip tray is too full and has
overflowed.
The machine is not placed on a
horizontal surface.
You have already replaced the
AquaClean filter 8 times.
Solution
Clean the coffee exit duct with the
handle of the measuring spoon or a
spoon handle. Switch the appliance off
and on again.
Switch off the machine and remove the
filter from the water tank. Immerse the
filter upside down in a jug with cold
water and wait until no more air bubbles
come out. Place back the filter in the
water tank, restart the machine and
dispense 2-3 cups of hot water.
Adjust the grinder to a coarser setting.
Clean the brew group.
Clean the coffee dispensing spout and
its holes with a pipe cleaner.
Descale the machine.
Clean the carafe and make sure that you
position and insert it correctly.
Make sure that the milk dispensing
spout is in the correct position.
Make sure that all the components
(especially the milk tube) have been
assembled correctly
Different types of milk result in different
amounts of froth and different froth
qualities. We have tested the following
milk types which proved to deliver a
good milk froth result: semi-skimmed or
full-fat cow's milk, soy milk and lactose-
free milk.
Empty the drip tray when the 'drip tray
full' indicator pops up through the drip
tray. Always empty the drip tray before
you start descaling the machine.
Place the machine on a horizontal
surface so that the 'drip tray full'
indicator works properly.
Descale your machine first and install
the AquaClean filter. Always activate the
AquaClean filter in the menu (see
'Activating the AquaClean filter'). Also do
this when you replace the filter.
