Q1. I accidentally locked the filter holder underneath the
grinder. What do I do?
A.
Push the Manual Release Button upwards (see page 19).
Q2. There is no coffee coming out of the grinder. It seems as
though the coffee is completely clogged inside the grinder.
What do I do?
A.
Please follow the steps outlined in chapter 10f, page 17.
Q3. Can the grinder run without beans in the bean container?
A.
Yes.
Q4. Why do some buttons work with delay?
A.
If you touch or push the wrong button accidentally, it will not
immediately change the settings. You have to hold down each
button for one second to activate/change the function (except
for turning the coffee maker off).
Q5. Can I have different grinding settings for the current
and the programmed mode?
A.
Yes! See chapters 7.2 through 7.5.
Q6. How long does the machine keep the grinding and
brewing settings?
A.
All settings are maintained as long as the machine is plugged
in. The programmed setting is activated only when you push the
auto button (G6) and the green auto light turns on.
Q7. How do I know if the display shows the current or the
programmed setting?
A.
In the program mode, the saucer blinks. Three different
display modes are possible:
1.Current time and grinder settings.
2.Programmed setting: Immediately after you push the prog
button (G10), it shows the programmed time and grinder
settings.
3.Auto setting: After you push the auto button (G6), the display
shows the cur
rent time but the programmed grinder settings.
Q8. Can I change any settings while the grinder is running?
A.
No. The red On/Off light or the green Auto light have to be off
to change the grinder settings.
Q9. What happens if the filter holder does not return under-
neath the water container lid after grinding?
A.
After the grinding process is completed, the swing-back
mechanism will try twice to return the filter holder (within 5 sec-
onds). If it does not swing back sufficiently, the machine will
automatically turn itself off to prevent the coffee maker from
brewing. Please call us.
Q10. What happens if the water container lid is open during
the brewing process?
A.
The hot water will splash in spurts against the hot water
guard (see page 12) and will be guided back into the water con-
tainer. Immediately close the water container lid.
Q11. Beans spilled into the water container. What do I do?
