I've followed the instructions to factory reset my coffee machine as outlined in the manual - however the buttons just keep flashing and I'm unable to get it to turn back on normally.

If the buttons on your Stirling STR-E15BDG coffee machine keep flashing after a factory reset, this indicates that the machine has successfully reverted to first-time use status. This is normal behavior and shows that the reset was successful.
