Problem SolutionThe SENSEO® coffeemachine does not producecoffee when it is switchedon for the first time.You have not yet flushed the coffee machine. When you use the machinefor the first time, you have to flush it before you can start brewing coffee(see chapter ‘Preparing the machine for use’).The indicator lightcontinues to flash rapidly.Make sure that:you have placed the water reservoir properly;there is enough water in the water reservoir (i.e. above the ° MIN levelif you want to brew 1 cup);the ambient temperature is not lower than 10°C. If it is, the machine doesnot function properly.Water leaks from thecoffee machine.Make sure that:you have closed the lid properly (the lever must be properly locked);you have not filled the water reservoir beyond the MAX level;the sieve in the centre of the pod holder is not clogged. If the sieveis clogged, unclog it by rinsing the pod holder under a running tap. Ifnecessary, use a washing-up brush or a pin to unclog the sieve;you have put the coffee pod properly in the centre of the pod holder;the sealing ring is not stuck under the edge of the water distribution disc;the water drops on the worktop are not the result of placing or removingthe water reservoir or removing used coffee pods;you do not remove the water reservoir when the coffee machine isheating up. This may cause water that normally ends up in the waterreservoir to leak out of the machine.In all other cases, contact the Philips Consumer Care Centre in yourcountry.The lid cannot be opened. A vacuum may have temporarily formed under the lid.Switch off the machine. Pull the lever up as far as it goes and wait 24hours before you open the lid. You may need to use quite some force.Make sure that the sieve in the centre of the pod holder is not clogged. Ifthe sieve is clogged, unclog it by rinsing the pod holder under a runningtap. If necessary, use a washing-up brush or a pin to unclog the sieve.Make sure you do not move the SENSEO ® machine. Moving the machine,placing it outdoors or in a cool or cold environment does not acceleratethe unlocking of the lid.Do nOT put the SENSEO ® machine in the fridge or freezer, as this doesnot accelerate the unlocking of the lid.If problems continue to occur, contact the Philips Consumer Care Centrein your country.EnglisH 17
