Problem
Solution
The appliance does not
work.
Plug in and switch on the appliance.
Make sure that the voltage indicated on the appliance
corresponds to the local mains voltage.
Water leaks out of the
appliance.
Do not fill the water tank beyond the MAX level.
The appliance takes a
long time to brew coffee.
Descale the appliance.
The appliance produces
a lot of noise and steam
during the brewing
process.
Make sure that the appliance is not blocked by scale. If
necessary, descale the appliance.
Coffee grounds end up in
the jug.
Do not put too much ground coffee in the filter.
Make sure you put the jug on the hotplate with the spout
facing into the appliance (i.e. not pointing sideways).
Use the right size of paper filter (type 1x4 or no. 4).
Make sure the paper filter is not torn.
The coffee is too weak.
Use the right proportion of coffee to water.
Make sure the paper filter does not collapse.
Use the right size of paper filter (type 1x4 or no. 4).
Make sure there is no water in the jug before you start to
brew coffee.
The coffee is not hot
enough.
Make sure that the jug is properly placed on the hotplate.
We advise you to brew more than three cups of coffee to
ensure that the coffee has the right temperature.
Do not use cold milk straight from the refrigerator.
If your coffeemaker has an metal jug, preheat the metal jug
with hot tap water before you start brewing coffee.
There is less coffee in the
jug than expected.
Make sure you place the jug properly on the hotplate. If
the jug is not placed properly on the hotplate, the drip stop
prevents the coffee from flowing out of the filter.
There are stubborn
brown deposits in the
metal jug.
To remove stubborn deposits, put hot water and a spoonful
of sodium carbonate in the metal jug. Leave the sodium
carbonate solution in the metal jug for some time. Then
empty the metal jug and use a soft brush to remove the
deposits. Rinse the metal jug with fresh water.
The filter overflows while
the appliance is brewing
coffee.
Check if you placed the filter holder into
the appliance properly (see picture 3 in chapter
).
If the filter holder is not in the correct position, the drip stop
does not work, which may cause the filter holder to overflow.
If you remove the jug from the appliance for more than
20 seconds during brewing, the filter holder starts to
overflow.
Descaling
Descale the appliance when you notice excessive steaming or when the brewing time
increases. It is advisable to descale every two months. Only use white vinegar to descale,
as other products may cause damage to the appliance.
Auto shut-off
The appliance switches off automatically after 30 minutes for energy saving and safety.
This is according to EU regulation applicable to all drip-filter coffeemakers sold in the EU.
