Important! When the coee beans are insucient to
complete the required function, the appliance stops the process
and waits for the bean container to be lled again and the
icon (B14) to be pressed. For example, when you want to make 4
cups of coee but the beans are insucient, the appliance ma-
kes 2 cups then stops making coee. Fill the bean container and
press the icon (B14). Once the container has been lled, the
appliance makes the 2 remaining cups only to reach the required
number of 4 cups.
If there is not enough water in the tank to complete the requi-
red function or the waste coee container is full, the appliance
interrupts the process.
To ll the water tank or empty the waste coee container, you
must remove the jug. This interrupts the programme.
After rectifying the problem, the programme must be started
again.
In this case, you must take the amount of coee already delive-
red into account to avoid the jug overowing.
