Problem
The milk does not froth.
The milk is splashing.
Cause
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 internal cappuccinatore is
dirty or not inserted correctly.
The type of milk used is not
suitable for frothing.
The milk you use is not cold
enough.
The flexible milk tube is not
connected properly.
The cappuccinatore and milk
tubes are not clean.
Solution
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. 24).
Descale the machine with Philips descaler
(see 'Descaling procedure'). Always
descale when the machine prompts you.
Clean the internal cappuccinatore and
make sure that you position and insert it
correctly (see 'Cleaning the internal
cappuccinatore under the tap').
Different types of milk result in different
amounts of froth and different froth
qualities.
Make sure you use cold milk coming
directly from the fridge.
Open the door of the coffee dispensing
spout (Fig. 33) and check if the flexible
milk tube is fully connected to the
cappuccinatore (Fig. 39). Note that the
cappuccinatore and milk tubes may be
hot. Let the cappuccinatore and the tubes
cool down before you touch them.
Remove and disassemble the internal
cappuccinatore (see 'Cleaning the internal
cappuccinatore under the tap'). Rinse all
parts under the tap. For thorough
cleaning, use Philips milk circuit cleaner
and perform the Deep Milk Clean
procedure via the 'Status' and
'Hygiesteam' menu. Note that if the parts
have been cleaned in the dishwasher, they
may have become clogged by food
particles or detergent residues. A visual
check that they are not obstructed is also
recommended.
