Problem
The machine grinds the
coffee beans, but coffee
does not come out.
The milk does not froth.
Milk is leaking from the
bottom of the LatteGo
milk container.
The machine seems to
be leaking.
Cause
The pre-ground coffee
compartment is clogged
The machine circuit is blocked
by limescale.
The pre-ground coffee
compartment is clogged.
Machines with LatteGo:
LatteGo is incorrectly
assembled.
Machines with LatteGo: the
milk container and/or frame of
LatteGo are dirty.
Machines with classic milk
frother: the milk frother is dirty.
The type of milk used is not
suitable for frothing.
The frame and the milk
container are not assembled
properly.
The machine uses water to
rinse the internal circuit and
brew group. This water flows
through the internal system
directly into the drip tray. This is
normal.
The drip tray is too full and has
overflowed which makes it look
like the machine is leaking.
Solution
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. 27).
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. 27).
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').
Thoroughly clean the milk frother (see
'Cleaning the classic milk frother ').
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.
First insert the top of the milk container
under the hook at the top of the frame.
Then press home the bottom part of the
milk container. You hear a click when it
locks into place.
Empty the drip tray every day or as
soon as the 'drip tray full' indicator pops
up through the drip tray cover. Tip:
Place a cup under the dispensing spout
to collect rinsing water and reduce the
amount of water in the drip tray.
Empty the drip tray every day or as
