ProblemPossible Cause
Milk is frozenCooling unit target temperature is set too low.
Cooling unit milk temperature is not being reachedInadequate air circulation around cooling unit. Ensure that the required minimum clearance is present between the cooling unit and the wall (at least 50 mm)
Descaler concentrate not being dispensedDescaling cartridge seal is damaged or clogged or descaling cartridge is empty. Check the descaling cartridge fill level. Check the red adapter with the sealing ring and clear away any descaler crystals. Run the descaling process again.
Descaling cartridge needs replacing despite not being emptyDescaling cartridge seal is damaged or clogged. Insert a new descaling cartridge, check the red adapter with the sealing ring and clear away any descaler crystals
Touch screen not responding correctlyMachine software overloaded.
Water level in water tank not being detectedResidual substances or deposits on the water tank's internal wall. Thoroughly clean and rinse out the water tank.
No milk or just milk foamSuction hose/milk line has a leak. Check the position of the spout insert and, if necessary, clean it. SU05 cooling unit: Check the O-ring on the suction hose coupling. Check the suction hose and, if necessary, replace it.
Milk is not flowing correctly out of the milk spoutThe milk spout was not installed correctly when it was last cleaned. Start the coffee machine cleaning process, and install the milk spout as per the instructions on the touchscreen. The milk spout is also part of the care kit.
