Solution: Stir beans before grinding and while grinding turn the grinding selector to the coarsest setting.

When using very oily beans pour the beans onto a plate and let some of the sticky oils evaporate (this will not harm the aroma of the coffee).

Reason: You used ground coffee in the ground coffee funnel. The ground coffee was too fine.

Solution: Use ground coffee which is ground somewhat coarser.

Reason: No water is transported through the system.

Solution: Remove water container and make sure that the con- necting valve is free of any particles (like a coffee bean etc). Reason: The ground coffee funnel is clogged; the internal brew- ing chamber is clogged.

Solution: Place a large cup underneath the coffee spout. Push the rinse button (Fig. 2E) a few times until the blocked coffee is removed. (Never fill more than 2 scoops of coffee in the ground coffee funnel; the funnel is not a storage area for ground coffee). Also, use a ground coffee which is ground somewhat coarser.

B. THE DISPLAY READS "FILL WATER" BUT THERE IS ENOUGH WATER IN THE WATER TANK.

Reason: The low water floatation device (Fig.1,4) is missing.

Solution: Within the water tank is a small compartment (like a mouse trap). Inside is a small black floatation device. On top is a small clear see-through plastic cover. This small plastic cover is missing and the floatation device is outside of the small com- partment. Check if you can find both pieces inside the water tank and put it back together. If you cannot find the pieces call 1-800-220-5701. We will send the pieces FREE OF CHARGE.

C. INSUFFICIENT FROTHED MILK PRODUCTION Reason: Milk is initially not cold enough or your milk is not suited for thick frothing.

Solution: Make sure milk is cold. Use a different type of milk. Skim milk will produce the thickest and longest lasting froth. Full fat milk will produce less thick froth.

Reason: The components of the frother are not assembled properly, or the components are clogged with hardened milk, or one or more of the components is missing, or the steam nozzle is clogged.

Solution:

a. Remove frother. Check that steam comes out of the steam nozzle. If not, use a needle and clear blockage from inside steam nozzle.

b. Clean all other frother parts and assemble properly. See chapters 10b, 10f.

c. If any parts are missing call Customer Service: 1-800-220-5701 or use the enclosed mail order form to order the missing part.

D. GRINDER MAKES AN EXTREMELY LOUD NOISE; NO BEANS ARE GROUND

Reason: A stone or something else is blocking the burr grinder.

Solution: See chapter 16.5 and 16.6.

E. THE REMOVABLE DRAWER (Fig.1, 18) DOESN’T COME OUT Reason: The internal used coffee disposal chute did not retract. Solution: Turn off the machine. Wait a minute. Turn machine on and wait until it stops making any noise. Now try to pull out the drawer. If this does not work, turn the machine off. Now pull the
