Frequently Asked Questions - Tassimo Finesse TAS16B7 BOSCH

How to prepare a drink with the Tassimo Finesse?

Place a T DISC capsule in the holder, the scanner reads the barcode and automatically doses the water. Press the start button. You can stop or prolong the preparation by pressing the corresponding buttons.

How to use the IntensityBoost function?

For a more intense coffee, press the ☉ button for 3 seconds. The LED lights up and the device adjusts the brewing. The taste will be stronger.

What to do if the LED lights up red?

The red LED indicates that the water tank is empty or not sufficiently filled. Fill it with fresh water up to the max mark and replace it correctly.

How to descale the machine?

When the calc LED is on, start the descaling program following figures 46 to 60 in the manual. Use a suitable descaler (without phosphoric acid). Do not use chemically demineralized water.

Which components can go in the dishwasher?

The water tank, drip tray, cup support and drain grid are dishwasher-safe (see figure 28 in the manual).

The machine does not turn on, what should I check?

Make sure the appliance is plugged into a working power outlet. If the cord is damaged, contact customer service. Do not use an extension cord.

Why doesn't the brewing start?

Check that the water tank is filled and properly in place. Make sure the T DISC is inserted correctly (barcode facing down). If the problem persists, clean the scanning window with a soft cloth.

The brewing system does not open, what should I do?

Wait until the LED lights up steadily (yellow). Do not force it open. If the lock persists, contact TASSIMO service. Never force it open.

How to clean the outlet nozzle?

Clean the nozzle with a damp cloth. Use a service T DISC to thoroughly clean the brewing system. This improves beverage quality.

Where to find spare parts or after-sales service?

Contact Bosch consumer service at 0 892 698 010 (€0.40/min + call price) or TASSIMO at 09 69 39 29 39. Use only original parts.
