840161900 nv03.qxd 4/3/07 1:31 PM Page 10 Troubleshooting POTENTIAL PROBLEM Filter basket overflows or coffee brews slowly. Coffee leaks onto base. Coffee tastes bad. Coffee sediment in cup. PROBABLE CAUSE • Excessive amounts of coffee. • Coffee ground too finely (not automatic drip grind). • Coffeemaker needs cleaning. If using a paper filter: • Coffee grounds between paper filter and filter basket. • Paper filter not open and in proper position. • Rinse filter basket before inserting paper filter so the edges will remain pressed against the sides of the basket. • Poor quality paper filter. •Travel mugs not properly seated in position indicators on base. Refer to "How to Make Coffee" for correct position of travel mugs during brewing. • Coffeemaker needs cleaning. • Coffee ground other than automatic drip. • Coffee-to-water ratio unbalanced. Adjust for personal preference. • Poor coffee quality and freshness. • Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water). • Use cone paper filter instead of permanent stainless steel coffee filter. 10
