TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE REMEDY
The coffee is not hot. • The cups have not been pre-
heated. • Heat the cups by rinsing them with hot
water.
• The brewing unit has cooled
down because 2/3 minutes have
elapsed since the last coffee was
made. • Before making coffee, heat the brewing
unit by selecting the
RINSE function
from the menu.
• The set temperature is not high
enough. • Change the set temperature (see
paragraph Changing the coffee
temperature).
The coffee is not creamy
enough. • The coffee is ground too coarsely. • Turn the grinding adjustment knob one
click anti-clockwise towards the
number 1 while the coffee mill is in
operation (Figure 14).
• The blend of coffee is unsuitable. • Use a blend of coffee specifically for
espresso coffee machines.
The coffee runs out too slowly
or in drips. • The coffee is ground too finely. • Turn the grinding adjustment knob one
click clockwise towards the number 7
while the coffee mill is in operation
(Figure 14). Continue one click at a time
until coffee run-off is satisfactory.
Results are only visible after running
off 2 coffees.
The coffee runs out too
quickly. • The coffee is ground too coarsely. • Turn the grinding adjustment knob one
click anti-clockwise towards the
number 1 while the coffee mill is in
operation (Figure 14). Avoid turning the
grinding coarseness regulator too far
otherwise when you select 2 cups, the
coffee may run out in drips. Results are
only visible after running off 2 coffees.
The coffee does not run out of
one or either of the spouts. • The spouts are blocked. • Clean the spouts with a toothpick
(Figure 26).
The coffee does not come out
of the spouts, but around the
service door (A2). • The holes in the spouts are
clogged with dry coffee powder. • Clean the spouts with a toothpick, a
sponge or a hard bristled kitchen brush
(Figures 26-28).
• The coffee feed (A3) inside the
service door is blocked. • Clean the coffee feed (A3) thoroughly,
especially around the hinges.
Water comes out of the spouts
instead of coffee. • Ground coffee is blocking the
funnel (A21) • Clean the funnel (A21) with a wooden
or plastic fork and clean the inside of
the machine.
The milk does not come out of
the milk spout (C5). • The intake tube is not inserted or
is inserted incorrectly. • Insert the intake tube (C4) in the rubber
washer in the milk container lid
(Figure 23).
The milk is not well frothed. • The milk container lid is dirty. • Clean the milk container lid as
described in paragraph Cleaning the
milk container.
