TROUBLESHOOTING

There are grounds in my coffee.

• Grounds may have gathered in the exit or entrance needles and can be cleaned using a straightened paper clip or similar tool.
• Finely ground coffee can clog the filter basket. For best brewing results, use a  medium-grind coffee.
• Using too many grounds can cause the filter basket to overflow. Once cooled, clean out the filter basket and refill using the appropriate amount of coffee.

Coffee maker lid won’t stay on.

• The K-Cup was not poked by the pin at the bottom.
• The filter basket is not placed in the correct position.

Only water comes out.

• Ensure that the top and bottom needles have pierced the capsule.
• The exit needle may be clogged. Using a straightened paper clip or similar tool to clean the exit needle.

• The brewer may need to be descaled. If you have repeated the descale procedure on your brewer two times and it is still only brewing a partial cup, contact Customer Service at support@vimukun.com.

Brew basket overflowed.

• Check that the basket is in place with the lid secured. If the lid is in place, the bottom of the filter basket may be clogged.
• This can happen with finely ground coffee or too many coffee grounds in the filter holder.
• The exit needle may be clogged.
• Rinse the filter basket with water or use a straightened paper clip or similar tool to clean the exit needle.
  • NOTE: We recommend using medium-grind coffee.

Brew will not start.

• Plug the brewer into an electrical outlet of the appropriate voltage. If the circuit is overloaded, the brewer may not function properly.
• The brewer should be operated on its own circuit, separate from other appliances.
• Check to make sure there is water in the water reservoir.
• The brewer may need to run a cleaning cycle.
• For energy savings, the brewer automatically turns off 90 seconds after the last brew.
• Press the power button to restart.
