| Problem | Cause | Solution |
| Coffee does not come out or coffee comes out slowly. | The AquaClean water filter was not prepared properly for installation. | Remove the AquaClean water filter and try to brew a coffee again. If this works, make sure that you have prepared the AquaClean water filter properly before you place it back. See chapter ‘AquaClean water filter’ for step-by-step instructions. |
| After a long period of non-use, you need to prepare the AquaClean water filter for use again and then place it back. See step 1 – 3 of chapter ‘Activating the AquaClean water filter’. | ||
| The AquaClean water filter is clogged. | Replace the AquaClean water filter every 3 months. A filter that is older than 3 months can become clogged. | |
| The grinder is set to a too fine setting. | Set the grinder to a coarser (higher) setting. Note that this will impact the coffee taste. | |
| The brew group is dirty. | Remove the brew group and rinse it under the tap (see ‘Cleaning the brew group under the tap’). | |

| Machines with classic milk frother: the milk frother is dirty. | Thoroughly clean the milk frother (see ‘Cleaning the classic milk frother ‘). | |
| The type of milk used is not suitable for frothing. | Different types of milk result in different amounts of froth and different froth qualities. We have tested the following milk types which proved to deliver a good milk froth result: semi-skimmed or full-fat cow’s milk and lactose-free milk. | |

Tip: Place a cup under the dispensing spout to collect rinsing water and reduce the amount of water in the drip tray. |
