POSSIBLE CAUSE
SOLUTION
FILL WATER TANK
Insufficient water in tank or tank not inserted correctly 
Fill the tank with water and/or insert it correctly, pushing it 
as far as it will go until it clicks into place. 
GROUND TOO FINE ADJUST 
MILL
The grinding is too fine and the coffee is delivered too slowly 
or not at all.
Repeat coffee delivery and turn the grinding adjustment 
dial one click clockwise towards “7” while the coffee mill is 
in operation.
If after making at least 2 coffees delivery is still too slow, 
repeat the correction procedure, turning the grinding 
adjustment dial another click until delivery is correct.
If the problem persists, press OK to deliver water from the
spout until it flows out normally. 
INSERT WATER SPOUT
The water spout is not inserted or is inserted incorrectly. 
Insert water spout as far as it will go.
EMPTY GROUNDS CONTAINER   
The grounds container is too full or more than 3 days have 
passed since delivery of the first coffee (this guarantees 
correct hygiene of the machine). 
Empty the grounds container and clean, then replace. 
Important: when removing the drip tray, the grounds 
container MUST be emptied, even if it contains few 
grounds. 
If this is not done, when you make the next coffees, the 
grounds container may fill up more than expected and clog 
the machine.
INSERT GROUNDS CONTAINER
After cleaning, the grounds container has not been 
replaced.
Open the service door, remove the drip tray and insert the 
grounds container.  
ADD PRE-GROUND COFFEE 
The “pre-ground coffee” function has been selected 
without placing any pre-ground coffee in the funnel.
Place pre-ground coffee in the funnel or deselect the 
“pre-ground” function.
The funnel (A8) is blocked. 
Empty the funnel with the help of the cleaning brush as 
described in the section “Cleaning the pre-ground coffee 
funnel”.
 
Descale
The machine must be descaled. 
The descaling procedure described in the “Descaling” 
section needs to be performed as soon as possible.
Replace water filter
The water filter is exhausted.
Replace the filter or remove it as described in the section 
“Water filter”.
