Solution
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'.
Replace the AquaClean water filter every 3
months. A filter that is older than 3
months can become clogged.
Set the grinder to a coarser (higher)
setting. Note that this will impact the
coffee taste.
Remove the brew group and rinse it under
the tap (see 'Cleaning the brew group
under the tap').
Clean the coffee dispensing spout and its
holes with a pipe cleaner or needle.
Switch off the machine and remove the
brew group. Open the lid of the pre-
ground coffee compartment and insert
the spoon handle into it. Move the handle
up and down until the clogged ground
coffee falls down (Fig. 28).
Descale the machine with Philips descaler.
Always descale the machine when the
descaling light starts to flash.
Switch off the machine and remove the
brew group. Open the lid of the pre-
ground coffee compartment and insert
the spoon handle into it. Move the handle
up and down until the clogged ground
coffee falls down (Fig. 28).
Make sure that the milk container is
properly assembled to the frame of
LatteGo ('click').
Disassemble LatteGo and rinse both parts
under the tap or clean them in the
dishwasher (see 'Cleaning LatteGo after
every use').
