Coffee maker emits a burning smell or visible smoke during operation.

Safety: Immediately unplug the coffee maker. Do not continue using it until the cause is identified and corrected.

• 1. External inspection:
  • Check the warming plate for spilled coffee, sugar, or plastic items that may be burning; clean thoroughly.
• 2. Internal inspection:
  • Remove covers and look for burnt wires, melted connectors, or scorched PCB areas.
  • Replace any damaged wiring harnesses and secure away from hot surfaces.
• 3. Test heater and components:
  • Measure heater resistance; if shorted or showing signs of arcing, replace the heater assembly.
  • Inspect the control board for burnt components; replace the board if damaged.
• 4. Do not operate until repaired:
  • Using the unit with unresolved burning smell is a fire hazard; if you are not comfortable with electrical repairs, contact a qualified technician.
