Problem Solution
The on/off button
ashes slowly.
You have used the SENSEO
®
coffee machine at an altitude higher than
2200 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.
The CALC light
ashes.
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.
The CALC light does
not go out after
descaling.
The CALC light does not go out if the descaling procedure has not been
performed correctly. To perform the descaling procedure correctly:
1. Make sure that you do not interrupt the descaling cycle or switch off
or unplug the machine during the descaling cycle. During the descaling
cycle, hot water comes out of the coffee spout at intervals and the
machine stops descaling 3 to 4 times to let the descaling mixture act and
to heat up again.
2. Make sure that you start the descaling cycle by pressing the 1-cup
button and the 2-cup button at the same time. See chapter ‘Descaling’
for a complete description of the descaling procedure.
3. Make sure that you use three full water reservoirs to complete the
descaling procedure: one reservoir lled with descaling mixture and two
reservoirs lled with fresh water.
The on/off button
continues to ash
rapidly.
Make sure that there is enough water in the water reservoir and that the
water reservoir is placed properly.
Make sure that the ambient temperature is not lower than 5°C. If it is,
the machine does not function properly.
