How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep hands away from steam vents and the brew basket during operation.
Check water level:
- Always fill the reservoir to at least the MIN mark before brewing.
Descale:
- Run a vinegar cleaning cycle to remove scale that can cause uneven boiling and loud sputtering.
If noises are accompanied by leaks or steam escaping from unusual places, unplug immediately and inspect for loose or cracked tubing; these parts may need replacement.
