How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Avoid touching hot steam; burns can occur quickly.

  • Relocate unit: Move the coffee maker out from under cabinets so steam can dissipate freely.
  • Check lid seals: Inspect the reservoir lid and brew head lid for damage or misalignment. Replace if cracked or warped.
  • Dry the panel: After use, wipe condensation from the control panel and allow the unit to air‑dry.
  • Monitor for errors: If sensor or ERR codes begin appearing after steam exposure, discontinue use and have the electronics inspected.
