Ensure the coffee maker is plugged in and the power outlet is working. Check if the water reservoir is filled and the carafe is correctly positioned. If the problem persists, try resetting the machine by unplugging it for a few minutes before plugging it back in.

The 'Clean' light indicates that it is time to descale the coffee maker. Follow the cleaning instructions to ensure your machine continues to function properly.

Yes, you can adjust the warming plate temperature. Press the 'Temp' button, and select between Low, Medium, or High to suit your preference.
Overflowing can occur if the carafe is not correctly placed or if excessive coffee grounds are used. Ensure the carafe lid is properly aligned and use the recommended amount of coffee.
To replace the charcoal water filter, remove the old filter from the water filter holder, soak the new filter in cold water for 15 minutes, and then insert it into the holder. Place the holder back into the water reservoir.
The 'Bold' setting extends the brewing process to extract more flavor from the coffee grounds, resulting in a stronger cup of coffee.
