- We strongly recommend decalcifying your
coffee maker any time the brewing time slows
down or when you begin to notice excessive
steaming. The frequency of decalcifying will
depend on the hardness of your water. We
suggest decalcifying approximately every 80
brew cycles if you have soft water or every 40
brew cycles if you have hard water.
PROBLEM
The coffee does not
brew or the machine
does not switch on.
Appliance appears
to be leaking.
It takes a long time
to brew.
The brew basket (j)
overflows or the
coffee drips too
slowly.
SOLUTION
• Check to ensure the appliance is plugged into a working
outlet, and the appliance is in the "ON" position.
• The water tank is empty.
• There was a power failure.
• There was a power surge. Unplug the machine, then plug it
back in.
• The clock must be reset after a power failure.
• The Auto-Off function switches off the coffee maker. Switch
off the coffee maker then switch it back on to make more
coffee. For more information, refer to the section "Making
coffee".
• Make sure that the water tank has not been filled beyond the
max fill level.
• It may be time to descale your coffee dispenser.
• Numerous minerals may accumulate in the coffee maker's
circuit. Periodic descaling of the machine is recommended.
More frequent descaling may be necessary depending on the
hardness of the water. For more information, refer to the
"Descaling" section.
NOTE: do not dismantle the machine.
• Coffee maker needs cleaning.
• Excessive amount of coffee. We recommend that you use one
measuring spoon or one tablespoon of coffee ground per cup.
• Coffee grind is too fine (beans ground for an Espresso maker
are not suitable for drip coffee makers).
• Some coffee grounds have seeped in between the paper filter
or permanent filter and the filter holder (i).
• The paper filter is not open or is incorrectly positioned.
• Rinse out the filter holder (i) before putting in the paper filter
so that its edges stick to the damp sides of the filter.
• More than one paper filter in filter holder (i).
