Troubleshooting
Machine does not turn on.
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check if the main power switch is in the 'on' position.
Coffee is not brewing or brewing very slowly.
Check if the water tank is filled and properly seated. Ensure a pod is correctly inserted and the lever is closed. Clean any blockages in the spout or the pod mechanism.
Leaking water from the machine.
Verify that the water tank is correctly positioned and not overfilled. Check the drip tray for overflow and ensure it is properly aligned.
Coffee tastes weak or watery.
Ensure you are using compatible pods and that the machine has been recently descaled. Try a different type of pod or a stronger roast.
Used capsule container is overflowing.
Empty the used capsule container after each use or when the indicator suggests it is full. Ensure it is correctly reinserted.
