  • The grounds container has filled with used coffee
  • The container was not emptied after earlier drinks
  • The container was removed and put back without cleaning
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press On/Standby on the front of the coffee system and wait for it to finish turning off. 2. Remove the cup tray. 3. Take out the grounds container and empty it. 4. Rinse and dry it, then put it back. 5. Reinsert the cup tray and turn the system on.

  • Skipping it can let grounds back up in the system.
  • Removing the container while the system is still running can make a mess.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
