Important! When the coee beans are insucient to

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.
