PROBLEM 

POSSIBLE CAUSE

REMEDY

The coffee is weak or not creamy enough. The coffee is ground too coarsely.

Turn the grinding adjustment dial (A5) 
one click anticlockwise towards 1 while 
the coffee grinder is in operation (fig. 8). 
Continue one click at a time until coffee 
delivery is satisfactory. The effect is only 
visible after delivering 2 coffees (see sec-
tion “13.1 Adjusting the coffee grinder”).

The coffee is delivered too slowly or a 
drop at a time.

The coffee is ground too finely.

Turn the grinding adjustment dial (A5) 
one click clockwise towards 7 while the 
coffee grinder is in operation (fig. 8). 
Continue one click at a time until coffee 
delivery is satisfactory. The effect is only 
visible after delivering 2 coffees (see sec-
tion “13.1 Adjusting the coffee grinder”). 

The machine will not make coffee

The machine has detected impurities in 
its internal circuits, the 

 light (B1) 

flashes

again and reselect the required beverage. 
Contact Customer Services if the problem 
persists.

quests a third rinse

Follow the instructions displayed by the 
machine, but first empty the drip tray 
(A15) to avoid the water overflowing.

The frothed milk has large bubbles 

The milk is not cold enough or is not 
semi-skimmed

You should ideally use skimmed or semi-
skimmed milk at refrigerator tempera-
ture (about 5°C). If the result is not as you 
wished, try changing brand of milk.

The milk is not frothed

The frother (A22) and steam/hot water 
connection nozzle (A21) are dirty

Clean as described in section “15.1 Clean-
ing the frother after use”.

steam function again.
