Problem
The milk sputters when
it is dispensed. Hissing
noises can be heard
when milk is being
heated up or frothed.
Although the milk
should be frothed, only
hot milk comes out of
the main dispenser.
Coffee grounds have
settled on the lid of the
drip tray and in the
interior around the brew
unit.
Possible cause and remedy
The milk temperature is too high. Good milk froth can
only be achieved with cold milk (below 10°C).
 Check the temperature of the milk.
The main dispenser with integrated cappucinatore is
not correctly fitted and is taking in air. Or the spouts
are blocked.
 Check whether the central spout has been
assembled correctly. Make sure that all parts are
tightly connected to one another.
 If necessary, clean the central spout.
The milk pipework, connections or the intake tube on
the milk flask are blocked.
 Clean all parts thoroughly.
The steam jet on the central spout has a blockage.
Push the cleaning brush a max. of 1 cm into the
steam jet.
 Clean the steam jet with the cleaning brush.
This is not a fault.
The movement of the brew unit during the brewing
process can cause some ground coffee to fall around
it. The type of beans used, the fineness of the ground
coffee and the amount of coffee ground also affect
the amount. Important: Clean the interior of the
coffee machine regularly to prevent mould etc.
