Check the following:
• the pod is placed properly in the 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 coffee pod for either
one 5-ounce, bold European serving, or an 8-ounce serving
of American-style coffee.

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 normal used during brew cycle.
• Tank may be empty. Refill and brew again.
• Descale appliance.See “Descaling,” page 12.

ber and the Lever locked into position.

• the Pod Holder may be clogged. Rinse under tap water to
unclog the screen.If necessary, you may also use a scrubbing
brush or a pin to unclog holes.

contact Consumer Service.
