SOLUTION
Turn off and unplug the machine for 1 minute or more.
Make sure there is water in the reservoir.
Make sure the removable reservoir is properly installed.
Make sure brew head is completely closed.
The machine's energy-save mode puts unit to sleep after
30 minutes of nonuse. Simply turn the START/STOP knob
or the function knob, or press any button to "wake up" the
unit.
Unplug and plug in the machine. Perform an initial
clean cycle for pods and espresso brewing. Follow the
instructions on page 12, without inserting a pod or
espresso capsule.
If coffee ground basket is overflowing, you may have
overfilled the basket or used a coffee grind that is too
fine. See "The Quest for the Perfect Cup of Coffee" on
page 4 for suggestions on how to find the right grind and
portion.
Make sure paper filter is not used with gold-tone filter.
Use either one or the other, not both.
The POD, ESPRESSO, STEAM, and HOT WATER
functions cannot be used while the 10-cup Coffeemaker
is brewing coffee. Once the brew is complete, the
single-serve functions can be used.
The piercing or exit needle may be clogged with coffee.
Remove pod capsule holder from your unit and then twist
off the funnel that makes up the bottom portion on the
holder. Use a paper clip to loosen the clog and push it
out. See page 18 of your instruction booklet and follow
steps 1–4.
Remove the wand tube from the frothing mechanism
by twisting it off. Rinse the tube, dry off, and replace
on unit.
If milk still does not froth, clean the steam/hot water
wand further by following instructions on page 19.
Be sure the descaling process was properly done by
following the instructions on page 11 for 10-cup
Coffeemaker side and page 18 for single-serve side.
Run the descaling process until the CLEAN indicators no
longer appear.
