To descale the coffee maker, fill the water reservoir with a mixture of half vinegar and half water. Run a complete brew cycle without coffee grounds, then run two more cycles with fresh water to rinse.
Ensure the coffee maker is plugged into a working outlet. Check the power switch and reset it if necessary. If the problem persists, inspect the power cord for damage or contact customer support.
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The carafe can be washed with warm soapy water or placed in the dishwasher if dishwasher safe. Dry thoroughly before reassembling.
Ensure the water temperature is set correctly if your model has adjustable settings. Preheat the carafe with hot water before brewing to maintain optimal temperature.
Check the water reservoir for cracks and ensure it is properly seated. Inspect the seals and gaskets for wear and replace if necessary. If the issue continues, contact a technician.
Use the correct grind size, as too fine a grind can cause overflow. Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum capacity of the filter basket. Clean any blockages in the filter holder.
Empty any remaining water from the reservoir and carafe. Clean and dry all removable parts. Store the coffee maker in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Unplug the coffee maker, wait for a few minutes, and then plug it back in. Set the clock and any programmed settings again as needed.
Ensure you are using fresh coffee grounds with the correct grind size. Clean the machine regularly to remove old coffee oils and residues. Adjust the brewing time if possible.
Yes, you can brew tea by placing tea bags in the carafe or using a tea infuser in the filter basket. Clean the coffee maker thoroughly after brewing tea to avoid flavor crossover.
