Problem
Coffee does not come
out or coffee comes out
slowly.
The machine grinds the
coffee beans, but coffee
does not come out.
Cause
A cold cup reduces the
temperature of the drink.
Adding milk reduces the
temperature of the drink.
The AquaClean water filter was
not prepared properly for
installation.
The AquaClean water filter is
clogged.
The grinder is set to a too fine
setting.
The brew group is dirty.
The coffee dispensing spout is
dirty.
The pre-ground coffee
compartment is clogged
The machine circuit is blocked
by limescale.
The pre-ground coffee
compartment is clogged.
Solution
Preheat the cups by rinsing them with
hot water.
Regardless of whether you add hot or
cold milk, adding milk always reduces
the temperature of the coffee. Preheat
the cups by rinsing them with hot water.
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. 25).
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. 25).
