What should I do if my Bosch TASSIMO TAS4012CH won't start?

Ensure that the machine is plugged in and the power switch is turned on. Check if the water tank is filled and properly placed. Make sure the service disc is not inserted in the capsule holder.

Why is my TASSIMO not dispensing coffee?

Check if the water tank is empty or not properly seated. Ensure the T DISC is not damaged and properly placed in the holder. Clean the barcode scanner to ensure it can read the T DISC barcode.

How can I descale my TASSIMO TAS4012CH?

Fill the water tank with water and add a Bosch descaling tablet. Insert the service T DISC in the holder. Place a container under the spout and press the start button for 5 seconds until the descale cycle begins. Follow the machine's prompts to complete the process.

A red light typically indicates that the machine needs descaling. Follow the descaling procedure in the user manual to resolve this issue.

Can I use non-TASSIMO T DISCs in my machine?

No, the Bosch TASSIMO TAS4012CH is designed to work only with TASSIMO T DISCs, as it uses a barcode system to brew each drink correctly. Non-TASSIMO discs will not be recognized by the machine.

Ensure that the machine has been preheated before brewing. Also, check if the cup you are using is cold; try warming the cup beforehand. Descale the machine if you haven't done so recently, as scale buildup can affect heating efficiency.
