cised in their use.
If an extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the
cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the elec-
trical rating of the appliance, and (2) the cord should be arranged

Troubleshooting
Should a problem occur, you may be able to find an answer in the
text below. If the text proves unhelpful or if you require further
information, please contact Consumer Service.
1. The coffee is too weak.
Check the following:
• the java-pod™is placed properly in the Java-Pod Holder.You
may need to lightly press it down into the holder.
• you have selected the correct button according to the number
of ounces and strength desired. Use one java-pod™for either
one 5-ounce, robust European cup, or an 8-ounce serving of
“Americano.”
• you are using a fresh Melitta®java-pod™.
2. The coffee is too strong.
Check that you have selected the correct button. Use the
8-ounce button for less robust coffee.
3. There is less water than usual dripping from the appliance
into the cups.
Descale appliance.See “Descaling,” page 12.

Check the following:

Chamber and the Lever locked into position.

• the Java-Pod Holder may be clogged. Rinse under tap water
to unclog the screen.If necessary, you may also use a scrub-
bing brush or a pin.
• the java-pod™must be properly placed so it sits evenly into the
holder. Lightly tap it down into the holder.
• some water droplets on your countertop are normal and
may be caused by the filling and replacing of the Water
Tank.
5. The indicator light is flashing.
A flashing indicator light means the machine is heating.This
normally lasts for 1-11/2 to 2 minutes.If indicator light is flashing
rapidly (more than a second apart), see #6 below.
If the indicator light flashes continually for more than 4 minutes,
contact Consumer Service.
