PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
• Coffeemaker needs cleaning.
• Coffee ground too coarse or too fine. Select medium automatic drip grind.
• Poor coffee quality and freshness.
• Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water).
• Use Gold Tone holder for ground coffee. 3 tablespoons (44 ml) is the maximum amount of
grounds to brew.
• Use a lesser amount of ground coffee.
• When using whole bean coffee, a medium automatic drip coffee grind will yield best results.
Be careful not to overgrind, since very finely ground coffee can cause overflow in this unit.
• To prevent coffee overflowing from a mug/travel mug, choose the correct cup size.
• Water reservoir is not in place. No water in the water reservoir. Fill water reservoir to MAX fill line
and start the brewing process.
• The piercing needle may be clogged. Clean piercing needle as shown on page 9.
• Follow "How to Clean the Piercing Needle" directions on page 9.
• Started brew cycle without first setting clock. Press
button to display and set the clock.
