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 or tea is too weak.
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 javapod
for either
one 5-ounce, bold European serving, or an 8-ounce serving
of American style coffee. When brewing tea, be sure to
select the 8-ounce serving.
• you are using a fresh Melitta
®
javapod
or Cooper’s
®
teapod
.
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 volume of water during brew
cycle brewing from the appliance into the cups. Descale 
appliance. See “Descaling,” page 13.
4. Water drips from the appliance.
Note: Some water may drip between cycles, this is normal.
Check the following:
• the Pod Holder must be placed properly within the Pod 
Chamber and the Lever locked into position.
• the Water Tank must not be filled above the ‘MAX’ line.
• 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.
• the 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 1-1/2 to 2 minutes. If indicator light is flashing
rapidly (more than a second apart), see #6 following.
If the indicator light flashes continually for more than 4 minutes,
contact Consumer Service.
