Troubleshooting
Machine does not turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Coffee is not brewing.
Verify that the water reservoir is filled and the carafe is correctly positioned. Ensure the filter basket is properly inserted.
Coffee tastes weak or bitter.
Adjust the coffee-to-water ratio. Ensure you are using the correct grind size for filter coffee and that the machine has been descaled recently.
Carafe is not keeping coffee hot.
Ensure the carafe lid is securely in place. Pre-warm the carafe with hot water before brewing if maximum heat retention is critical, especially after the initial 30-minute automatic keep-warm period.
Machine is leaking.
Check that the water reservoir is not overfilled and that the filter basket and carafe are correctly seated. Inspect for any cracks in the carafe or machine components.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup

Compatibility
- Coffee Grounds: Compatible with standard ground coffee. The fineness of the grind can affect extraction; medium grinds are typically recommended.
- Water: Use fresh, cold water for optimal taste. Filtered water can improve coffee quality and machine longevity.
- Power: Requires a standard household electrical outlet.
Care and Cleaning
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, discard coffee grounds, rinse the filter, carafe, and lid. Wash with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
- Descaling: Regularly descale the machine (monthly, or as needed based on water hardness) to prevent mineral buildup. Use a commercial descaling solution or a mixture of equal parts white vinegar and water. Run a brew cycle with the solution, followed by two rinse cycles with clean water.
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the machine with a damp cloth. Never immerse the machine in water.
