Component Frequency Procedure
Grounds container
When the indicator lights up, the
grounds container must be emptied: the
machine cannot now make coee.
• Remove the drip tray, empty and clean.
• Empty the grounds container and clean thoroughly
to remove all residues that may have collected on
the bottom.
• Check the condensate tray (colour red) and if full,
empty if out.
The appliance cannot be used to make coee again until the grounds container has been cleaned. The
machine will display the message indicating the need to empty the grounds container 72 hours after
the rst coee has been prepared, even if the container is not full (for the 72 hours to be calculated
correctly, the machine must never be disconnected from the mains power supply).
Drip tray components The drip tray is tted with a level indi-
cator (colour red) showing the level of
water it contains.
Before the indicator projects from the cup
tray, the drip tray must be emptied and
cleaned
• Remove the drip tray and the grounds container;
• Remove the cup tray and drip tray grille, then
empty the drip tray and the grounds container and
wash all components;
• Check the red condensate tray and, if full, empty if
out;
• Reposition the drip tray complete with grille, and
the grounds container.
When removing the drip tray, the grounds container
must also be emptied, even if it is not completely full.
Inside of the machine Check periodically (about once a month)
that the inside of the machine (accessible
by removing the drip tray) is not dirty.
Switch the machine o and isolate it from the power
supply. Never immerse the machine in water.
• Remove coee deposits with a brush and sponge;
• Remove all residues with a vacuum cleaner
Coee spouts Clean the coee spouts periodically (once
a month)
• Clean the coee spouts periodically with a sponge
or cloth;
• Check that the holes in the coee spout are not
blocked. If necessary, remove coee deposits with
a toothpick.

18. TROUBLESHOOTING
Possible malfunctions of the machine are listed below.
If the problem cannot be resolved as described, contact Customer Service.
Problem Cause Solution
The appliance does not switch on. The cord is not plugged into the mains
socket.
Plug into the mains socket.
The coee is not hot. The cups were not preheated. Warm the cups by rinsing them with hot
water (Please note: the hot water func-
tion can be used).
The internal circuits of the appliance have
cooled down because 2-3 minutes have
elapsed since the last coee was made.
Before making coee, warm the internal cir-
cuits by pressing and holding the
but-
ton (B4) for a few seconds to run a rinse cycle.
Coee temperature setting too low.
Select a hotter coee temperature in the
settings menu (see “12. Settings menu”).
The machine needs descaling
Run the descale procedure. Next, check
the water hardness (“5. Measuring water
hardness”) and make sure the machine
setting matches the local water supply
hardness (“12. Settings menu”).
The coee is weak or not creamy enough. Coee ground too coarsely. Adjust the grinding level (“8.8 Adjusting
the coee mill”). The eect will not be
noticeable until at least 2 coees have
been made.
Coee not suitable. Use coee for espresso machines.
Coee not fresh. The coee pack has been opened for too
long and has lost its taste.
→
24
Problem Cause Solution
The coee emerges too slowly or
drop-by-drop.
Coee ground too nely. Adjust the grinding level (“8.8 Adjusting
the coee mill”). The eect will not be
noticeable until at least 2 coees have
been made.
The machine does not deliver coee. Impurities have been detected in the in-
ternal circuits
Wait until the machine is ready for use
again, and proceed to select the required
drink. Contact an authorized Service Cen-
tre if the problem persists.
Coee does not come out of one or both
spouts.
Coee nozzles blocked. Clean the nozzles with a cloth. Any en-
crusted deposits can be removed with a
toothpick, if necessary.
The coee delivered is watery. Pre-ground coee funnel clogged. Open the ap and clean the funnel with
the aid of a brush.
The infuser cannot be removed. The machine has not been correctly
switched o.
Switch the machine o by pressing the
button
.
With the descaling procedure completed,
the appliance prompts for a third rinse
During the two rinse cycles, the water
tank was not lled to the MAX level
Restart the descaling procedure from
“Step 3: Second rinse”.
The milk presents large bubbles, or
splashes from the spout(E3) , or is
under-frothed.
Milk is not cold enough, or is not semi-
skimmed or skimmed.
Use skimmed or semi-skimmed milk
straight from the refrigerator (tempera-
ture about 5° C). If the result is still not as
expected, try changing the brand of milk.
Milk carafe lid dirty. Disassemble the components and clean
thoroughly as described in section “9.6
Cleaning the milk carafe after each use”.
Take particular care when cleaning the
milk carafe connector (E6).
Vegetable drinks are being used. The end-result varies widely depend-
ing on the nutritional properties of the
drinks. “Barista” versions of these drinks
are recommended.
Milk-based drinks are not enabled Milk carafe missing or not correctly in
place.
Prepare the milk carafe and position it
correctly in the machine.
Several milk drinks have been prepared
in succession and the machine needs to
heat up to the right temperature in order
to make the next drinks.
Wait until milk-based drinks are again
enabled on the control panel.
The cup tray on top of the machine is hot Several drinks have been prepared in
rapid succession
The machine emits noises or small pus
of steam while not in use
The machine is ready for use or has just
been turned o, and a few drops of
condensate are falling into the steamer,
which is still hot.
This is to be expected as an aspect of
normal operation: to minimize the eect,
empty the drip tray regularly.
→
25
Problem Cause Solution
The machine emits pus of steam from
the drip tray and/or there is water on the
surface where the machine is positioned.
The drip tray grille has not been replaced
after cleaning.
Ensure the grille is repositioned in the
drip tray.
