15.2 Other Problems
A. No coffee comes out of the coffee
spout?
• Check water supply
• Check drawer
• Check bean container
B. Machine does not produce coffee
when using ground coffee in funnel?
• Use more coffee and try again (if you
use less than one scoop of coffee, the
automatic tamper in the brewing cham-
ber can not detect the coffee and will
interrupt the brewing cycle).
C. Coffee comes out too slowly
through the coffee spout?
• Set the grinder to grind the beans more
coarsely (see chapter 8.3 “Adjusting the
Grinder”).
• When using ground coffee, have it
ground coarser or use less.
• Clean the inner metal screen
(see chapter 13a).
D. There is not enough milk froth?
• Unscrew the frother tip and clean both
side holes until all the milk residues are
completely removed.
• Make sure the frother tip is attached
finger-tight.
• Make sure the cylinder of the frother is
pushed down (see fig. 12).
• Use milk with less fat content (skim or
low fat milk).
E. The grinder makes an extremely
loud noise?
• A stone blocks the grinding burrs: Turn
the machine off and unplug it. Empty
the bean container (scoop out beans or
use a hand-held vacuum cleaner). Try to
remove the stone (if visible) with a
pointed tool.
Do not fill any more beans into the bean
container. Plug in the machine and turn it
on. Push the 1-cup button . If the
noise continues, please call us at
1-800-220-5701.
