icon
Descaling light is flashing slowly: Descale the machine (see 'Descaling procedure (30
min.)').
The lights in the drink icons light up and go out one by one.
The machine is heating up and/or trying to release the air that was drawn into the
machine. Wait until all drink lights light up continuously.
The lights of all warning icons are flashing.
Reset the machine by unplugging it and plugging it back in. Before switching the
machine back on, follow these steps:
-
Remove the AquaClean water filter from the water tank.
-
Place back the water tank. Push it into the machine as far as possible to make
sure it is in the right position.
-
Open the lid of the pre-ground coffee compartment and check if this is clogged
with coffee powder. To clean it, insert a spoon handle into the pre-ground coffee
compartment and move the handle up and down until the clogged ground
coffee falls down (Fig. 27). Remove the brew group and remove all ground coffee
that has fallen down. Place back the clean brew group.
-
Switch the machine back on.
If the problem is solved the AquaClean filter was not prepared well. Prepare the
AquaClean filter before placing it back by following steps 1 and 2 in chapter
'Activating the AquaClean water filter (5 min).
If the lights continue to flash, the machine could be overheated. Switch the machine
off, wait 30 minutes and switch it on again. If the lights are still flashing, contact the
Consumer Care Center in your country. For contact details, see the international
warranty leaflet.

Problem
The drip tray fills up
quickly.
The 'empty coffee
grounds container' light
remains on.
Cause
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.
You emptied the coffee grounds
container while the machine
was switched off.
Solution
Empty the drip tray daily or as soon as
the red 'drip tray full' indicator pops up
through the drip tray cover. Tip: place a
cup under the dispensing spout to
collect rinsing water that comes out of
it.
Always empty the coffee grounds
container while the machine is switched
on. Remove the coffee grounds
container, wait at least 5 sec. and then
insert it again.
