Other Consumer Safety Information
wWARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is
provided with a grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of
electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a grounded outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the
plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit into
the outlet, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension
cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. The
extension cord must be a grounding-type, 3-wire cord. Care must
be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape
over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or accidentally tripped over.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.

Troubleshooting
Coffee maker will not brew/coffee not dispensing.
• The piercing needle may be clogged. Always remove the gray
removable needle holder. Clean piercing needle in the lid of the
coffee maker as shown above.
• Mineral deposits have formed. Clean coffee maker following the
directions in the Care and Cleaning section.
• Too little water. Need 6 oz. (177 ml) or more.
• Stopping the coffee maker before brewing is complete may cause
a clogged needle.
Water on counter under unit.
• Overfilled water reservoir. Do not add more than 14 ounces
(414 ml) of water. Some mugs/cups do not pour cleanly and can
dribble water down the side of the cup and onto the counter.
Coffee overflows from funnel and single-serve pack holder.
• Black seal around the needle in the removable needle holder is
missing. Carefully place seal around needle and push into place.

Troubleshooting (cont.)
Coffee overflows from mug or travel mug.
• To prevent coffee overflowing from a mug/travel mug, use the
same mug/travel mug to brew into that was used to fill the water
reservoir. Do not add more than 14 ounces (414 ml) of water.
There may also be additional water in the system that is causing
the overflow. Remove single-serve pack holder. Press and hold
the BREW NOW I/ button to remove any remaining water.
Water remaining in reservoir.
• Added too much or too little water. Place cup or travel mug on
cup rest. Remove single-serve pack and replace single-serve pack
holder. Repeat brewing cycle. Press and hold the BREW NOW I/
button to remove any remaining water.
Coffee single-serve pack bursts.
• There is variability in the single-serve pack manufacturing process
which causes some types of single-serve packs to be weaker at
the seams so the foil seal fails. Try a different brand.
Brew indicator light flashes:
• 2 times: Coffee maker needs to be cleaned. See page 8.
• 3 times: Coffee maker lid is not closed properly. Push lid down to
lock into place.
• 7 times: Coffee maker needs to be cleaned. See page 8.
• 8 times: Needle is clogged. Always remove the gray removable
needle holder and follow “Clogged Needle” on page 9.
• 9 times: Not enough water. Add water to water reservoir.
