The filter holder (c) overflows or the
coffee drips too slowly.
• Excessive amount of coffee. We
recommend that you use one
measuring spoon or one tablespoon of
coffee ground per cup.
• Coffee ground too fine (unsuitable for
an automatic coffee maker).
• The carafe (h) is not well positioned
on the hot plate (g).
• The carafe (h) was removed for
more than 20 seconds during brewing
and was not correctly put back on the
hot plate (g).
• Some coffee grounds have seeped in
between the paper filter and the filter
holder (c).
• The paper filter is not open or is
incorrectly positioned.
• Rinse out the filter holder (c) before
putting in the paper filter so that its
edges stick to the damp sides of the
filter.
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
The coffee has a bad taste.
• The coffee maker needs to be cleaned.
• The coffee grounds are not suited to
your coffee maker.
• The proportion of coffee to water is
inadequate. Adjust it to suit your taste.
• The quality and freshness of the coffee
are not optimal.
• Poor-quality water. Use filtered or
bottled water.
• Read our Coffee Brewing Guide on
page 13.
With machine equipped with a thermal
carafe (h), the coffee temperature is too
low.
• Warm the thermal carafe (h) by rinsing
with hot water just before brewing.
• Remove the thermal carafe from the
machine after brewing is complete.
If your appliance still does not work, please call your respective countries consumer
service department.
