Solution
You probably tried to brew a cup of coffee without flushing the machine
first. Before you start brewing coffee, you have to flush the machine.
When you switch on the machine again, the on/off button either lights up
continuously or flashes slowly or rapidly.
If the on/off button lights up continuously, you have to carry out the flushing
procedure (see chapter 'Flushing the machine before first use').
If the on/off button flashes slowly or rapidly, you do NOT have to carry
out the flushing procedure. If the on/off button flashes slowly, the water
is heating up. If it flashes rapidly, there is not enough water in the water
reservoir or the water reservoir is not placed on the machine properly.
If water continued to flow from the spout until the water reservoir was
empty, the machine was performing the flushing cycle. Before you start
brewing coffee, you have to flush the machine. When you switch on the
machine again, the on/off button either lights up continuously or flashes
slowly or rapidly.
If the on/off button lights up continuously, you have to carry out the flushing
procedure (see chapter 'Flushing the machine before first use').
If the on/off button flashes slowly or rapidly, you do NOT have to carry
out the flushing procedure. If the on/off button flashes slowly, the water
is heating up. If it flashes rapidly, there is not enough water in the water
reservoir or the water reservoir is not placed on the machine properly.

metres above sea level. This has caused the water in the machine to start
boiling before it has reached the required temperature, which prevents the
machine from functioning properly. Switch off the machine and no longer
use it at altitudes higher than 2200 metres above sea level.
You have pressed the 1-cup button and the 2-cup button at the same time.
This started the descaling cycle. If you did not intend to start the descaling
cycle, simply press the on/off button to switch off the machine. If you did
intend to start the descaling cycle, do not interrupt this cycle but let the
appliance operate until the water reservoir is empty.
