Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Cause | Possible solution |
|---|---|---|
| The drip tray fills up quickly. | This is normal. The machine uses water to rinse the internal circuit and brew group. Some water flows through the internal system directly into the drip tray. | Empty the drip tray every day or as soon as the red 'drip tray full' indicator pops up through the drip tray (Fig. 26). Place a cup under the dispensing spout to collect rinsing water. |
| The machine is in DEMO mode. | You pressed the standby button for more than 8 seconds. | Switch the machine off and then on again with the main switch on the back of the machine. |
| The 'coffee grounds container full' icon remains displayed. | You emptied the coffee grounds container while the machine was switched off. | Always empty the coffee grounds container while the machine is switched on. If you empty the coffee grounds container when the machine is switched off, the coffee cycle counter is not reset. |
| The 'coffee grounds container full' icon is displayed even though the container is not full. | You placed back the coffee grounds container too fast. | Do not place back the coffee grounds container until the screen prompts you to put it back. |
| The machine did not reset the counter the last time you emptied the coffee grounds container. | Always wait approx. 5 seconds when you place back the coffee grounds container. In this way the coffee grounds counter will be reset to zero. | |
| I cannot remove the brew group. | The brew group is not in the correct position. | Reset the machine in the following way: place back the drip tray and the coffee grounds container. Then close the service door and switch the machine off and back on again. Try again to remove the brew group. |
| You have not removed the coffee grounds container. | Remove the coffee grounds container before you remove the brew group. | |
| I cannot insert the brew group. | The brew group is not in the correct position. | Reset the machine in the following way: place back the drip tray and the coffee grounds container. Leave the brew group out. Close the service door and switch the machine on and off. Then put the brew group in the correct position and reinsert it into in the machine (see 'Reinserting the brew group'). |
| The coffee is watery. | The brew group is dirty or needs to be lubricated. | Clean and lubricate the brew group. |
| The grinder is set to a too coarse setting. | Set the grinder to a finer (lower) setting. | |
| The coffee settings have been adjusted. | Select your coffee drink and adjust the settings to a stronger coffee. | |
| The machine is performing its self-adjustment procedure after a change in grinder settings or bean types. | Brew a few cups of coffee. |
