Grinder error

Do not use pre-ground coffee in the bean hopper — only in the bypass chute. Ground coffee in the bean grinder will clog and damage the burrs.
Remove the bean hopper and check for foreign objects (stones, twigs)
Run the grinder empty to clear any jammed grounds
Check the grinder adjustment — too fine a setting can jam the burrs
Inspect the conical burrs for wear or chipping
Test grinder motor for continuity if cleaning does not resolve
Pro Diagnostic Tip
Oily or flavored coffee beans clog Miele grinders faster than dry-processed beans. If F02 occurs after switching bean types, run a cleaning cycle with Miele cleaning tablets to dissolve oil residue.
