First, ensure the coffee maker is plugged in and the outlet is functional. Check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker. If the problem persists, consult the user manual for further troubleshooting or contact customer support.
Check if the water reservoir is properly seated and not overfilled. Inspect for any visible cracks or damage. Ensure the brew basket and carafe are correctly positioned. Clean any clogs in the drip tray or filter.
Use fresh, high-quality coffee beans and filtered water. Regularly clean the coffee maker, including the carafe and brew basket, to prevent buildup of oils and residue. Adjust the coffee-to-water ratio to suit your taste preferences.
Yes, you can use ground coffee in the Sunbeam SCM1746. Ensure you use the correct grind size for drip coffee makers to prevent clogging and optimize extraction.
Regularly clean the coffee maker by descaling it every 1-3 months, depending on usage and water hardness. Clean the carafe, brew basket, and drip tray after each use to prevent buildup.
To set the timer, press the 'Set Delay' button, then use the hour and minute buttons to select the desired brewing time. Ensure the AM/PM setting is correct. Press 'Set Delay' again to confirm.
