Place back the water tank. Push it into the machine as far as possible to make sure it is
in the right position.
-
Open the lid of the pre-ground coffee compartment and check if this is clogged with
coffee powder. To clean it, insert a spoon handle into the pre-ground coffee
compartment and move the handle up and down until the clogged ground coffee
falls down (Fig. 22). Remove the brew group and remove all ground coffee that has
fallen down. Place back the clean brew group.

If the problem is solved the AquaClean filter was not prepared well. Prepare the
AquaClean filter before placing it back by following steps 1 and 2 in chapter 'Activating
the AquaClean water filter (5 min).
If the lights continue to flash, the machine could be overheated. Switch the machine off,
