Possible cause and solution
The drip tray has probably been removed without the
grounds container being emptied.
Removing the drip tray resets the internal counter for
emptying the grounds container.
 Always empty the grounds container if you remove
the drip tray.
Certain types of beans produce a lot of coffee when
they are ground, meaning that larger coffee pucks
are pressed.
 Adjust the quantity of coffee and grinder setting if
necessary.
 Empty the grounds container more often than
indicated in the display.
This is not a fault.
 Confirm the message with OK.
Insufficient coffee beans are getting into the grinder.
Have you used a dark roast?
This type of coffee bean is often more oily. These oils
can cling to the inside of the coffee bean container
and hinder the flow of beans.
 Make a coffee and observe whether the coffee
beans drop into the coffee bean container.
 Clean the coffee bean container more often if you
are using darker, more oily coffee beans.
Try other types of coffee bean which are less oily.
This is not a fault.
If the coffee machine is already at operating
temperature, rinsing will not take place when the
appliance is switched on.
