Troubleshooting PROBLEM Coffee tastes bad. Water on counter under unit. Coffeemaker will not brew. Coffee overflows from brew basket. Coffee overflows from mug or travel mug. Water remaining in reservoir. Noise or steam at the end of brew cycle. Coffee not dispensing. Water reservoir fills too slowly. PROBABLE CAUSE • Coffeemaker needs cleaning. • Coffee ground too coarsely or too finely. Set coffee grinder to automatic drip grind. • Poor coffee quality and freshness. • Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water). • Overfilled water reservoir. Also check cup used to fill reservoir. Some mugs/cups do not pour cleanly and can dribble water down the side of the cup and onto counter. • Make sure you have allowed for the 2 minutes of cool-down time. • Check for water in water reservoir. If there is no water in the reservoir and the brew button is pushed, the unit will not brew. • Use a lesser amount of ground coffee. • When using whole bean coffee, a standard automatic drip coffee grind will yield best results. Be careful not to overgrind, since very finely ground coffee can cause overflow in this unit. • To prevent coffee overflowing from a mug/travel mug, use the same mug/travel mug to brew into that was used to fill the water reservoir. Do not add more than 10 ounces of water. • Added too much water. Remove K-Cup®* pack and replace brew basket. Repeat brewing cycle. • Reduce amount of water in reservoir. • Brew a different type of K-Cup®* pack. • Piercing nozzle is clogged with coffee grounds. Turn unit off; unplug. Allow unit to cool completely. To remove any built-up coffee grounds, insert end of bent paper clip into eye of piercing nozzle. • Unit hasn't cooled down. Allow 2 minutes between brewing cycles. • K-Cup®* pack was pierced before water was added to water reservoir. Fill water reservoir before piercing pack. Start brewing cycle. 9 840218200 ENv04.indd 9 7/9/12 11:01 AM
