10. What to do if ...
• no coffee runs out of the spouts:
– Check that the water tank is cor-
rectly seated!
– Fill the water tank!
– Check the correct seating of the drip
catcher!
• coffee only drips out of the spouts:
– Set the grinding texture to a coarser
setting.
• there is too little froth produced when
frothing the milk:
– Always use cool, fresh (low fat) milk!
– Use a suitable container (e.g. jug)!
– Also cool the container if necessary!
– Dismantle the swivelling nozzle and
clean (CF 300)!
– Clean the frothed milk spout
(CF 400)!
• the temperature of the coffee is too
low:
– Pre-warm cups with steam or hot
water!
– Set a higher coffee temperature (see
Section 3.3).
Caution: Sugar and milk lower the
temperature of the coffee!
– Descale the appliance.
• the brewing process is interrupted
after grinding and “FILL BEANS”
appears in the display:
– Fill the bean container as the brew-
ing unit has detected that too few
beans have been ground; as a result
the brewing cycle has been inter-
rupted.
• the spent coffee container is stuck in
the appliance:
– Pull out the drip catcher together
with the spent coffee drawer and
carefully remove the spent coffee
container from the appliance. Refit
the drip catcher with the spent cof-
fee drawer, but
without
the spent
coffee container and wait until the
process is complete and the last type
of coffee selected appears in the dis-
play. Then insert the drip catcher
with
the spent coffee container and
spent coffee drawer!
• “SERVICE 1” appears in the display:
– The appliance, or else the ambient
temperature is too cold.
Unplug the appliance. Wait approx.
2 hours before switching on the

• “SERVICE 5” or “SERVICE 8” appears in
the display:
– Switch off the appliance, unplug
from the mains, plug into the mains
again, and switch on the appliance
again. If this malfunction is no

• the grinder is making loud noises:
– Check the grinder for foreignbodies.
If necessary, have the appliance
checked by an AEG Service Force
Centre.
• the appliance is to be transported:
– Keep the original packaging to pro-
vide protection during transport.
– Protect the appliance from knocks.
– If there is a
risk of frost
, drain the
heater system by drawing off steam
prior to transport:
– Place a container under the nozzle.
– Switch off the appliance and turn
the steam selector (Figure 1/G)
clockwise
to the
“Steam” posi-
tion.
– Press the button on the coffee
selector (Figure 1/S) for a few sec-
onds. “SYSTEM EMPTYING” appears

tank and collecting tray.
