plugged in.

dry.

dispensed.

internal valve operating after
the boil cycle finishes.
There is a residual amount of
water left inside the Hot Cup
after the boil cycle.

Solution
The Hot Cup is still too hot
after the last boil cycle. Wait
a few seconds for it to cool
slightly before trying again.
• Check the Hot Cup is
plugged in and switched
on at the supply socket.
• Check that the dispensing
nozzle is positioned
centrally over the drip tray.
• Check the fuse in the
plug.
• Allow the Hot Cup to cool
down completely then
refill it with water.
Descale your Hot Cup
• Fill with water between
the MIN and MAX
markings then restart the
boil cycle.
• Descale your Hot Cup.
Allow it to finish the boil cycle
and dispense any water into
the drip tray. Allow any water
in the drip tray to cool down
then empty it.
