Troubleshooting and Error Codes

•If the brew timer display is not illuminated:

Check to see if the Coffee Maker is plugged into a grounded 3 prong outlet. If it is, unplug the Coffee Maker, then plug it into the same outlet again. If the unit still does not work, check the fuse or circuit breaker on the electrical circuit the Coffee Maker is connected to and make sure the circuit is closed.

•If only a portion of the water added to the Coffee Maker actually brews:

The Coffee Maker requires immediate descaling. Please refer to the descaling instructions on the previous page.

•If “Err4” appears on the brew timer display:

A button is jammed. Unplug the Coffee Maker, press each button several times, then plug the Coffee Maker back in. (If the Coffee Maker has been stored or used in a cool environment, warm the unit to normal room temperature before doing this.) If “Err4” appears again on the display, repeat this procedure.

•If “Err1”, “Err2”, or “Err3” appear on the brew timer display:

Press the On/Off Button to reset the Coffee Maker. If the error codes reappear, there is a problem with the Coffee Maker electronics. Please refer to the Warranty and Service section beginning on the following page.

If the problem cannot be fixed with the steps above, please refer to the Warranty and Service section beginning on the following page.
