PROBABLE CAUSE
• Coffee grounds trapped in coffee tank dispensing mechanism under seal in coffee tank.
See "Cleaning with Vinegar."
• This is a reminder to clean coffeemaker. See "Cleaning with Vinegar."
• Coffeemaker needs cleaning.
• Coffee ground too coarsely or too finely. Set coffee grinder to automatic drip grind.
• Coffee-to-water ratio unbalanced. Adjust for personal preference.
• Poor water quality. Use water filter or bottled water to make coffee. For iced coffee, too much
ice in tank causing too long extraction time for grounds. Make sure ice is not above the 10-cup
marking line.
• Mineral deposits have built up. Clean the coffeemaker following "Cleaning with Vinegar."
• Water reservoir is empty.
• Unit is unplugged.
• Power outage or power surge. If surge, unplug; then plug back in.
• Coffeemaker needs cleaning. Clean at least every 30 days to maintain proper performance.
• Coffeemaker is in the 1–4 CUPS or BOLD modes. Press BREW OPTIONS button until no lights appear.
• Excessive amounts of coffee grounds. See Table on page 5.
• Coffee ground too finely. Set coffee grinder to automatic drip grind.
• More than one paper filter in filter basket. Poor quality paper filter or wrong size paper filter.
• Selected Keep Warm hours have elapsed and coffeemaker has automatically shut off. See "To
Reheat Coffee" instructions on page 6, or brew new cycle.
