The model presented on the video in Philips 3200 but this knowledge could be also applied to other models from this 3200 series like Philips EP3221 Espresso Machine and LatteGo ep3241/50 , EP3221 and Latte-Go EP3246 but also for :
- Philips 2300 series with models EP2236/40, EP2230/10, EP2224/40, EP2224/10, EP2221/40
- Philips 4300 series with models EP4343/70, EP4343/50, EP4321/50, EP4349/70, EP4346/70
- Philips LatteGo 5400 with models EP5447/90, EP5446/70, EP5444/90, EP5444/50, EP5443/90
because they are very similar and the only differences are in software (more coffee programs) colors and LED, button operation panel on the front.

a perfect guide! Thank you : ) . The one from Phillips is super fast and they don´t really show very well where the places you should lubricate are located on the machine. This one did it ;)

Nice video, direct to the point and articulated! Is there a way to bypass the low water detector? I use filtered water and the low water light is on when the water tank is full. I tried mixing in tap water but the tap water is not very clean in my area….
Thanks I bought 2200 serious recently, and I was worried how I'm going to take care of it, but it looks easy
Thanks! It was very helpful.😃
Thank you for this. I’m all clean and ready.

Hello, thanks for your video…. So, where or how i can buy that lubricant? My machine looks to be making an abnormal noise from the group ( unit) and it doesn’t pours much coffee at the front…. Thanks 🙏 Thanks
My unit grinder is spinning but not actually grinding…..getting water instead of coffee. Do you have any recommendations on how to check grinder or get into that area ?
Thanks 👌

As per instruction, cleaning the brewing group, every 7 days, greasing every 50 coffees. Though I find that greasing it every 3-4 months is actually more than enough.

Hi again. Hope you don't mind me asking questions. I just recently purchaced the lattego and i have a question. What about if i leave home for couple of days? Should the watertank be filled so the filter doesn't sit in the dry?
@BBWalkerTV
3 жыл бұрын
Hello there. Sure It is better to leave water in tank because if it becomes dry filter may stop working. Of course after you came back - pour out the old water and refill the water tank with fresh water.
Quick question, do you remove the old grease before re-greasing?

With thorough washing, water will wash away all grease together with coffee residues, so you need to lubricate it after washing and drying. In terms of lubrication after the first wash: In my case, there was not a lot of dirt, so I washed it gently with water and quickly got rid of coffee residues and there was still a lot of grease. Personally, I only lubricated it after about a month. Regards Mariam
We just got the machine 1 week, do we do this straight away? Our coffee is not good. It’s watery / not strong (grinder on the strongest program).

The machine comes greased from the factory, and a lack of grease shouldn't affect the outcome of the coffee very much. It is more to extend the life of the moving parts

You mean at all water levels - you have half the volume ? Programming is only for the biggest water program (3 dots) rest of them should be constant. If it occurs at all levels It may be a malfunction. How you you are using this coffee machine ?

After I cleaned my unit I keep getting the solid red light under the triangle warning light. I have verified the brew unit to make sure the yellow triangle is aligned with the black triangle, everything looks good, the door closed fine but as soon I turn on my unit, I keep getting the solid red light under the triangle warning light. I have checked everything at least 20 times. Any ideas how to fix that?

Once I have such situation and the reason was that basket mechanism was not in the IDLE position - it was "suspended in the middle of the cycle" . Please take a look on the video again when am I showing it and compare with your unit. Maybe you need to move a Little bit this yellow lever that is responsible for removing coffee from basket. This is the only idea comes to my mind right now. If you start the machine is does the "self test" and whole cycle on the mechanism is done, can you hear any difference in the sound during start ?

This is likely caused by the brew group not being in it's starting position when inserted back in the machine. If you look at the side of the brew group with the writing on it (the side that says PUSH) you will see a yellow circle. There is a tiny arrow on the circle that must align with the arrow on the housing. To get it into position you have to grab on to that yellow piece and move it until you get the arrows lined up
