To clean the grinder, first unplug the machine. Remove the bean hopper and grind chamber. Use a small brush to clear any residue from the grinder, then wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth. Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling.
Check if the machine is properly plugged in and the power switch is on. Make sure there is enough water in the reservoir and that the filter basket is properly seated. If the problem persists, consult the user manual for further troubleshooting steps.
Ensure the grind size is not too fine, as this can cause overflow. Check that the filter basket is correctly positioned and not overfilled. Regular cleaning of the filter basket and brew basket can also help prevent overflow.
First, ensure that the unit is plugged in and the lid of the hopper is securely closed, as the grinder will not operate if it is open. If the grinder still does not work, check for any blockages or jams in the grinder mechanism.
Set the clock to the current time. Press the Program button and use the hour and minute buttons to set the desired brew start time. Once set, press the Program button again to activate the auto-brew feature.
Use fresh, whole coffee beans for the best flavor. Avoid using oily beans as they can clog the grinder. Medium-roasted beans are generally recommended for optimal performance and taste.
Descale the machine every 1-3 months, depending on the hardness of your water. Use a mixture of one part vinegar to two parts water for descaling. Run the solution through the machine, followed by two cycles of clean water.
Yes, you can use pre-ground coffee. Switch the Grind Control function off to bypass the grinder. Place the desired amount of pre-ground coffee into the filter basket and proceed with brewing.
Ensure you are using the correct coffee-to-water ratio. Increase the amount of coffee or reduce the amount of water. Additionally, check the grind size; a finer grind may enhance the flavor.
Unplug the machine and wait for about 10 minutes. Plug it back in and reset the clock. If the issue persists, consult the user manual or contact customer support for further assistance.
