AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF: The Automatic Shutoff feature

shuts off the coffeemaker two hours after brew cycle begins.

NOTE: The unit will only brew on one side at a time.

PAUSE AND SERVE:

w CAUTION

20 seconds of being removed to prevent overflow.

NOTES:

• BOLD mode will require additional time to complete a brewing cycle. Coffee maker remembers last brew option selected. If unplugged, coffee maker defaults to REGULAR.

Tips for Best-Tasting Coffee

• All coffees are made from either arabica beans or robusta beans, or some combination of both. Arabica beans are slightly more expensive, but tend to produce better-tasting coffee.

• Ground coffee will become stale much faster than whole beans. If buying preground coffee, choose a package with the latest expiration date or a smaller quantity.

• If grinding whole beans, set your coffee grinder on a fine/medium grind. This will yield the best-tasting grounds. Try to use freshly ground coffee within about a week of grinding.

• Using a water filter, filtered water, or bottled water will yield bettertasting coffee than tap water.

• Use approximately 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of grounds for each cup of coffee being made. To avoid overflow, use slightly less grounds (3/4 tablespoon [11.3 ml]) when brewing decaf or flavored coffees. Also, be aware that using coffee that is ground too finely may also cause the filter basket to overflow.

• Make sure your coffee maker is clean. See “Care and Cleaning” section.

Troubleshooting – Single-Serve Side

Coffee maker will not brew/coffee not dispensing.

• The piercing needle may be clogged. Always remove the gray

removable needle holder. Clean piercing needle in the lid of the coffee maker as shown on page 9.

• Mineral deposits have formed. Clean coffee maker following the

directions in the Care and Cleaning section.

• Too little water. Need 6 oz. (177 ml) or more.

Coffee tastes bad.

• Too much water was added or too much or too little ground coffee

was added. Change the amount of water to coffee grounds or use less water with the coffee packs.

• Poor coffee quality and freshness.

• Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water).

Coffee sediment in cup.

• Try a more coarsely ground coffee or add a #1 paper cone coffee

filter to single-serve brew basket. Make sure the hinged lid is closed on the removable single-serve brew basket.

Water on counter under unit.

• Overfilled water reservoir. Do not add more than 14 ounces

(414 ml) of water. Some mugs/cups do not pour cleanly and can dribble water down the side of the cup and onto the counter.

Control Panel Notifcations:

• CLEAN: Coffee maker needs to be cleaned. See page 9.

• CLOSE LID: Coffee maker lid is not closed properly. Push lid down to

lock into place.

• CLEAN: Coffee maker needs to be cleaned. See page 9.

• NEEDLE: Needle is clogged. Always remove the gray removable

needle holder and follow “Clogged Needle” on page 9.

• H2O FIL: Not enough water. Add water to water reservoir.

Coffee overflows from brew basket.

• Use removable brew basket with lid for ground coffee.

• Use a lesser amount of ground coffee. 3 tablespoons (44 ml) is the

maximum amount of grounds to brew.

• When using whole bean coffee, a standard automatic drip coffee

grind will yield best results. Be careful not to overgrind, since very finely ground coffee can cause overflow.

• Black seal around the needle in the removable needle holder is

missing. Carefully place seal around needle and push until in place.

Coffee overflows from travel mug or regular mug.

• To prevent coffee overflowing from a mug/travel mug, use the

same mug/travel mug to brew into that was used to fill the water reservoir. Do not add more than 14 ounces (414 ml) of water. There may also be additional water in the system that is causing the overflow. Remove brew basket or single-serve pack holder. Press and hold the BREW NOW I/ water.

• There is variability in the single-serve pack manufacturing process

which causes some types of single-serve packs to be weaker at the seams so the foil seal fails. Try a different brand.

Auto-start feature does not work with Single-Serve side.

• Auto-start feature is not designed to work with Single-Serve side.

Program mode is for Carafe side only.

Troubleshooting – Carafe Side

Brew basket overflows or coffee brews slowly.

• Excessive amounts of ground coffee.

• Decaffeinated and/or coffee ground too finely can cause overflow.

Use slightly less grounds when brewing decafeinated, flavored, or finely ground coffee. Or use medium ground coffee.

• Coffee maker needs cleaning. See Care and Cleaning on page 9.

If using a paper filter:

• Coffee grounds between paper filter and brew basket.

• Paper filter not open and in proper position.

• Rinse brew basket before inserting paper filter so the edges will

remain pressed against the sides of the basket.

• Poor-quality paper filter.

Coffee leaks onto base.

• Carafe removed from warming plate for more than 20 seconds

during the brewing cycle.

Coffee tastes bad.

• Coffee maker needs cleaning. See Care and Cleaning on page 9.

• Coffee ground too coarsely or too finely. Use medium ground

coffee.

• Coffee-to-water ratio unbalanced. Adjust for personal preference.

• Poor coffee quality and freshness.

• Poor water quality. Use filtered or bottled water.

Coffee sediment in cup.

• Use a high-quality, basket-style paper filter instead of optional

permanent coffee filter.

Coffee not brewing or unit will not turn on.

• Carafe not positioned on warming plate.

• Water reservoir is empty.

• Unit is unplugged.

• Power outage.

• Power surge. Unplug; then plug the unit back in.

• Clock requires reset after power outage.

• BREW NOW I/ button was not pressed. Press the BREW NOW I/

button.

Longer than normal brew time.

• Mineral deposits can build up in the pump of your coffee maker.

Periodic cleaning of the inside of the unit is recommended. More frequent cleaning may be necessary, depending on the hardness of your water. See “Care and Cleaning” section. NOTE: Do not disassemble the unit.
