How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before cleaning.

    • Do not exceed the maximum fill line; overfilling can cause siphoning.
  • 2. Clean brew head:
    • Remove the brew basket and wipe the brew head area.
    • Use a damp cloth to clean around the outlet holes and gasket.
  • 3. Inspect brew valve and seal:
    • Access the brew head from inside (top cover removal) and inspect the valve and O-rings.
    • Replace worn seals or the brew valve assembly if it does not close fully.
  • 4. Check check valve:
    • Inspect the one-way valve in the water line for debris preventing proper sealing; clean or replace.
