n The clock should be reprogrammed after a power outage.

The appliance seems to leak.| n Make sure the water tank has not been filled beyond the maximum limit.

n Make sure the water tank is not damaged.

n Several minerals can accumulate in the coffee maker’s circuitry. Regular descaling of the machine is recommended. This may need to be done more often depending on the hardness of your water. For more information, please consult the “Descaling” section.

n There is ground coffee lodged between the paper filter and the filter holder.

n The paper filter is not open properly or is not well placed.

n Rinse the filter holder before inserting the paper filter so it will adhere to the damp walls of the filter basket.

n Make sure you have not inserted a paper filter at the same time as the permanent filter.

n There is more than one paper filter in the filter holder.

If your appliance does not always work properly, call customer service in your country. European directive 2012/19/UE on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), requires that old household electrical appliances are not thrown into the normal flow of municipal waste. Old appliances must be collected separately in order to optimize the recovery and recycling of materials they contain and reduce the impact on human health and the environment.

Help protect the environment!
Your machine contains many recoverable or recyclable materials. Take these to a collection centre, or to an approved service centre for processing.
