To clean the grinder assembly, first ensure the machine is unplugged. Remove the hopper lid and the bean hopper. Wash them with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. Use a small brush to clean the grinder area, ensuring no moisture enters the grinder.
To descale, fill the water reservoir with a mixture of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water. Run a brew cycle without coffee grounds. After the cycle, run 2-3 cycles with fresh water to rinse.
This issue could be due to a clogged filter or a build-up of coffee oils. Ensure the filter is clean and the machine is descaled regularly. Also, check that the water reservoir is filled to the desired level.
The grind size is preset for optimal brewing. However, you can experiment by adjusting the amount of beans used or trying different types of coffee beans to achieve a different taste.
Ensure the grind is not too coarse and the coffee-to-water ratio is correct. You can also try using fresh beans and adjusting the strength setting on the machine.
Check that the machine is plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the power button is pressed and the clock is set. If it still won't turn on, there may be an internal issue requiring professional service.
To set the timer, press the 'Program' button and use the 'Hour' and 'Minute' buttons to set the desired start time. Ensure the AM/PM setting is correct and press 'Program' again to confirm.
Yes, you can use pre-ground coffee by selecting the 'Grind Off' button before brewing. Add the desired amount of pre-ground coffee to the basket and proceed with brewing.
Regularly clean the grinder, filter basket, and carafe. Descale the machine every 1-3 months depending on use and water hardness. Check and replace the charcoal water filter every 60 days or after 60 uses.
Ensure there are beans in the hopper and that the hopper lid is securely closed. Check for blockages in the grinder chute. If the issue persists, it may require professional servicing.
