Frequently Asked Questions - EQ.300 TF305E04 SIEMENS

How to descale and clean the Siemens EQ.300 TF305E04 machine?

Use the Calc'nClean program. Press and hold the Calc'nClean button for at least 5 seconds, follow the on-screen instructions: remove and clean the brewing unit, place a cleaning tablet and a descaling tablet in the water tank, then let the program run (approx. 40 minutes).

How to clean the milk frother?

After each use, place a glass of water under the dispensing system, lower the frother, press the Milk button to rinse. Let it cool, then remove the frother and clean it by hand or in the dishwasher (gentle cycle).

How to adjust the coffee intensity?

Before preparing a beverage, press the ∅ (intensity) button repeatedly to switch from very mild to very strong, or select the aromatic intense mode (depending on the model).

Why is the coffee dripping slowly?

This may be due to a too fine grind setting. Adjust to a coarser setting using the selector while the grinder is running. If the problem persists, descale the appliance or clean the brewing unit.

How to activate automatic shut-off?

In the basic settings (press and hold the 0 and Calc'nClean buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds), select Auto stand-by and choose the desired time.

Can I use ground coffee?

No. This machine is designed only for roasted coffee beans (for espresso or drip coffee). Do not use ground coffee, or frozen or caramelized beans.

How to install a water filter?

Immerse the filter in a glass of water until no more bubbles appear. Set the water hardness on the ring, then push it into the empty water tank. Fill the tank and follow the on-screen instructions to activate it.

What to do if the message 'Fill water tank' appears even though the tank is full?

Check that the tank is properly seated and that the water is not carbonated. Clean the float in the tank. If a water filter is installed, make sure it is properly rinsed and contains no air.

How to prepare two cups at once?

Press the double cup button (symbol 2 cups), then place two cups under the dispensing system and select Espresso or Café Crème. The machine grinds and prepares in two steps.

Where to find the serial number (E-Nr) and the manufacturing number (FD)?

They are located on the rating plate inside the brewing unit door or on the back of the appliance. Note them down to contact customer service.
