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.

Thank you so much for this guide. I wouldn't know how to do it without your video!! Lol
I come back to this video any time I need to do something with my Latte-Go!
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 ;)
The pleasure is mine. Regards
Thanks, I just cleaned and lubed mine solely based on your video. It sounds quieter now too. Many thanks, from all the way in Texas!
I am glad I can help. Regards.
@@BBWalkerTV Any difference in the White or Black models? I can get the black one for 50 dollars less. 😊
@@MrRondonmon No, it is just color :) More popular are more expensive I believe. :)
@@BBWalkerTVI'd love to have white color but it's not available in my country
@MrRondonmon yes, the color...
Thank you for this. I’m all clean and ready.
I am glad I could help.
Saved me a 1h manual read. grazie
Thanks! It was very helpful.😃
Thanks I bought 2200 serious recently, and I was worried how I'm going to take care of it, but it looks easy
Excellent guide!
Thank you Rudy. Have a nice day!
Thank you sir you are great
Thank u very much for ur information.
The pleasure is mine. Regards.
the video helped me, thanks :)
I am glad I can help. Regards
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….
Nice video… hasta la vista Baby!
Thank you
Very useful,I was struggling to find the right amount of grease to use.
Thanks 👌
The pleasure is mine Stephanie
The manufacturer says not to use towels, paper or other on this unit. To let it air dry as the fibers can affect the machine.
There are papers who can even in wasmachine, buy that
i have the 5400 it is so nice
Good for you. Regards Kevin
Thank you for the informative video. Now, I didn't even know there was a white version. It hasn't arrived in my country yet.
Me too
Merci

It is so great that I need to share it on my Pinterest profile. Thanks for sharing such useful knowledge. Manual is confusing and pictures not very accurate.
Nice video! This helps a lot. How often do i have to clean and lubricate the brew unit?
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.
@@David.P.make sense every few months enough, also it depends how much you are using it, I use it little
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 ?
Do orings need to be greased?
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?
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.
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 5400 seems to have alot of coffee grounds inside , is this normal
Quick question, do you remove the old grease before re-greasing?
I use hot water from the tap (not hot too much)
Hello! Can I remove aqua filter when rinsing the water tank weekly? Is it ok? within a week the water tank became a little slimy/dirty and i wanted to wash it with soap.
There should not be a problem with this. Regards
I've misplaced the grease. Where can I buy some that is appropriate for this purpose?
AliExpress
Hey there,
No chance to reassemble.
It just didn't fit in and I don't want to break it by pressing top strongly.
Any advice? 😢
try to move part that pushes basket beacuse it usually stucks on the hot water valve. Here on this video at 4:22 am touching valve socket and this tray moves. Check it.

If you still have problem - let me know I will make another video.
When put back in make sure the arrows lined up or else your machine get broken
Warning: The Phillips official video recommends NOT to use paper towels to minimize the possibility of having wood fibers in your coffee. They recommend using a damp towel. Other than that the rest of the video is Ok.
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
Why we added the grease after the cleaning? And we have to put the grease after the first cleaning?
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.

My lattego only brewing half the volume as before ? I've reprogrammed it to an increased volume but still brews the a low volume, any 💡
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 ?
@@BBWalkerTV Hi brewing the max 3 dots and reprogrammed to the desired level . 1st cup brewed fine second cup I got half a cup , strange
@@colinchung3967 Yeah that is weird. Maybe you will try factory default reset?
To dry it,,,use hair dryer to blow it dry right right? :)
The visible o-rings need to be lubricated as well...very very careful lubricate them ...without lubricant the o-rings will be very very easily ripped apart!
Hair dryer - no no no :) don't even think about it :)
orings - agree
@@BBWalkerTV LoL hahaha...I bought myself couple o-ring set of 3 (2 inside and 1 on the brew group) just in case!
Your video is hilarious , fun to watch!!
Hi. What kind of grease do you use? Thanks a lot
You get it with the machine in box
Hi. Should the grease be added when the machine is taken to use the very first time?
No, you don't need. It is basically lubricate by factory. Regards
Does it indicate when you need to lubricate? Or do you have to do this every week, month, year?
@@Bullet55NL No, there is no such indicator.
I lubricate once a month while using it daily - 2-3 coffees each day and it is enough.
@@BBWalkerTV thanks
@@BBWalkerTV thank you
When is it the right time to grease? 2 months or visually no grease at the location?
For sure if not grease at location depending how much you use it could be month on more.
I hope you can help me, My machine won't turn on. It turned on and had the clean water dispensing and then it shut off?
Have you tried to remove brewing unit and look inside maybe there is a leak and self test fail.
@@BBWalkerTV I tried that too, and after a couple of hours it worked, this is the 2nd time it happens.
Can I put the brew unit in the dishwasher?
I would not recommend it. There are rubbers parts. high temperature can destroy it.
Why my brew unit is so hard to be removed?
It is a little bit hard at the beginning but try slightly move it forward or backward inside and you will find this "perfect spot" when it comes out easily
So what I understand is that I don't have to clean in weekly, because I'm not using it must, I'll check it every month, do I have to lubricate it every time? Because from inside it's still with lot of lubricate
Yes. Once a month is enough for cleaning and lubrication very quarter is also OK>
@@BBWalkerTV thanks so much, please make more videos about this machine I'd love to learn more about it
what do i do when the brew group is stuck?
try to move part that pushes basket beacuse it usually stucks on the hot water valve. Here on this video at 4:22 am touching valve socket and this tray moves. Check it.

If you still have problem - let me know I will make another video.
white? saw only black colour nits
Are you in UK ? Some people complained that white model in not available in United Kingdom
Ik kan niet uithalen die ding😢
no kurwa fajnie
Nie przeklinaj
Omg what's that powerfully voice ? 😂😂
Yeah.
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 ?
@@BBWalkerTV I have this exact same issue now, wondering if you had any more advice, I took it out one time and now just a solid warning light no matter what
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
Having problem and put it back to it
If you can not put it back - try to move part that pushes basket because it usually stucks on the hot water valve. Here on this video at 4:22 am touching valve socket and this tray moves. Check it.

silicone grease OK?
If it is allowed to contact with food - yes
