Frequently Asked Questions - Single Serve Plus 49969 PROCTOR SILEX

What to do if coffee tastes bad?

Clean the coffee maker at least once a month (or every week in hard water areas). Use quality coffee and filtered water. Check that the grind is suitable (ground coffee for automatic coffee makers).

Why is there water on the counter under the machine?

The reservoir contains too much water. Use the same cup to fill and receive coffee, and do not exceed the MAX line (14 oz / 414 ml).

The machine does not brew, what to check?

Make sure the 2-minute cool-down time is respected between cycles. If the BREW button was pressed without water, wait for the light to turn off before adding water.

Coffee overflows from the filter basket, how to fix?

Use the removable ground coffee filter and reduce the amount of ground coffee (max 3 tbsp / 44 ml). Avoid too fine a grind.

Coffee overflows from the cup, why?

Use the same cup to fill the reservoir and receive coffee. Do not pour more than 14 oz (414 ml) of water into the reservoir.

What to do if noise or steam at end of cycle?

Reduce the amount of water in the reservoir or try a different brand of one-cup pod.

Coffee does not flow into the cup, what to do?

Turn off and unplug the appliance. Let cool, then insert a bent paper clip into the puncture needle opening to dislodge coffee grounds buildup.

The reservoir fills slowly, why?

The appliance is not cool enough. Wait 2 minutes before the next cycle. Fill the reservoir with water before lowering the filter basket handle.

The aluminum seal of the pod breaks often, what to do?

Let cool 2 minutes between brewing cycles, use less water, or try a different pod brand.

The brew cycle is too short, how to lengthen it?

This may be due to the pod. Try a different pod brand for a longer cycle.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

⚠ WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized 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 fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, 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. 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 Tips

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Coffee tastes bad.	· Coffee maker needs cleaning.· Coffee ground too coarsely or too finely. Set coffee grinder to automatic drip grind.· Poor coffee quality and freshness.· Poor water quality (use filtered or bottled water).
Water on counter under unit.	· Overfilled water reservoir. Also check cup used to fill reservoir. Some mugs/cups do not pour cleanly and can dribble water down the side of the cup and onto counter.
Coffee maker will not brew.	· Make sure you have allowed for the 2 minutes of cool-down time.· If the BREW button has been pressed with no water in the reservoir, wait until the brew light turns off before adding water to the reservoir.
Coffee overflows from brew basket.	· Use removable holder for ground coffee.· Use a lesser amount of ground coffee.· When using whole bean coffee, a standard automatic drip coffee grind will yield best results. Be careful not to overgrind, since very finely ground coffee can cause overflow in this unit.
Coffee overflows from mug.	· To prevent coffee overflowing from a mug, use the same mug to brew into that was used to fill the water reservoir. Do not add more than 14 ounces (414 ml) of water.

Troubleshooting Tips (cont.)

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION

Water remaining in reservoir.	Added too much water. Remove single-serve pack and replace brew basket. Repeat brewing cycle.
Noise or steam at the end of brew cycle.	Reduce amount of water in reservoir.Brew a different type of single-serve pack.
Coffee not dispensing.	Piercing nozzle is clogged with coffee grounds. Turn unit off; unplug. Allow unit to cool completely. To remove any built-up coffee grounds, insert end of bent paper clip into eye of piercing nozzle.
Water reservoir fills too slowly.	Unit hasn't cooled down. Allow 2 minutes between brewing cycles.Try filling water reservoir before pushing down brew basket handle to pierce single-serve pack. Start brewing cycle.
Failed foil seal.	There is variability in the single-serve pack manufacturing process which causes some types of single-serve packs to be weaker at the seams. Let cool 2 minutes between brewing, use less water, or try a different brand.
Short brew cycle.	Single-serve pack is difficult to brew due to the coffee and its processing.Try a different brand of single-serve pack.
