Frequently Asked Questions - Tassimo My Way 2 TAS6503 BOSCH

What should I do if the machine does not start and no LED is lit?

The appliance may be in idle mode. Press the Start/Stop button once. If still off, check power connection and try unplugging for 5 minutes.

How can I adjust the drink size?

Before brewing, use the drink size buttons (☐-☐-☐) to set desired volume. To reduce quantity during brewing, press Start/Stop. To increase, press and hold Start/Stop until desired amount.

What does the 'Descale' indicator mean?

It means the appliance needs descaling. Use Bosch descaling tabs (TCZ6004 or TCZ6008) following the instructions in the manual. Do not use descaling agents with phosphoric acid.

Why is water dripping from the brewing unit?

This may be due to a damaged T DISC or incorrect insertion. Check that the T DISC is not damaged and properly placed. Also ensure the piercing unit is pressed down until it clicks.

Can I use any type of water?

For best results, use cool, fresh, non-carbonated tap water. Do not use chemically softened water. If using a BRITA filter, follow the cartridge instructions.

The machine does not recognize a T DISC. What should I do?

Clean the T DISC reading window with a soft, damp cloth. Smooth out any wrinkles on the T DISC foil. If problem persists, try a new T DISC or contact customer service.

How do I clean the appliance?

Remove and wash the water tank, drip tray, and cup stand. Clean the brewing unit with a soft, damp cloth. Use the orange Service T DISC for a cleaning cycle. Never immerse the appliance in water.

What is the 'Fill water tank' light?

It indicates low water level. Fill the tank to the max mark with fresh water. If light remains on even with water, check that the float moves freely and the tank is inserted correctly.

Are spare parts available?

Yes, you can order descaling tabs (TCZ6004/TCZ6008), Service T DISC (17001491), and BRITA MAXTRA+ water filters (17000917) from Bosch customer service or tassimo.com.

What should I do if the brewing unit cannot be opened?

Wait until the status display stops flashing and stays lit. If still locked, unplug the appliance for 5 minutes. If problem persists, contact TASSIMO careline.

Important Information

■ Always store spare filter cartridges sealed in the original packaging in a cool dry place.
■ The BRITA MAXTRA+ Universal water filter cartridge is designed for use only with municipally treated tap water (note: this water is constantly controlled and according to legal regulations safe to drink) or with water from private supplies that has been tested as safe to drink. If an instruction is received from the authorities that mains water must be boiled, the BRITA filtered water must also be boiled. When the instruction to boil water is no longer in force, the entire coffee machine must be cleaned and a new cartridge inserted.

■ Please filter cold tap water only.
■ Clean the unit (water tank and funnel) regularly.

■ For certain groups of people (e.g. those with impaired immunity and for babies), it is generally recommended that tap water should be boiled; this also applies to filtered water. Irrespective of the water used, you should use utensils with stainless steel. This product of our BRITA partner meets these requirements. In particular, people who are sensitive to nickel should use appliances with elements made of stainless steel.

■ For reasons of hygiene, the MAXTRA+ Universal cartridge contents are subject to special treatment with silver. A very small amount of silver may be transferred to the water. This transference would be within the World Health Organisation (WHO).
■ During the filtering process, there may be a slight increase in potassium content. However, one litre of BRITA filtered water contains less potassium than e.g. an apple. If you have kidney disease and/or follow a potassium-restricted diet we recommend that you consult your doctor before using a BRITA water filter. Or call BRITACare Customer Service on [phone] for further information.
■ Should your TASSIMO by Bosch machine not be used for a prolonged period (e.g. holiday), we recommend that you discard any water left inside the water tank and leave the cartridge inside the funnel. Before using the machine again, take out the cartridge, clean the water tank and funnel thoroughly, and flush the cartridge as described in the TASSIMO by Bosch instructions for use.
■ BRITA filtered water is dedicated for human consumption. It is a perishable food and as such please consume within one day.
■ Like each natural product, the consistency of the BRITA MAXTRA+ Micro Carbon Pearls is subject to natural variances. This can lead to a slight abrasion of small carbon particles into your filtered water, noticeable as black bits. These particles have no negative health effects. If ingested, they will not harm the human body. In case you observe carbon particles, BRITA recommends to flush the cartridge several times or until the black bits disappear.
■ BRITA cannot accept responsibility or liability if you do not respect our recommendations for the use and exchange of the BRITA filter cartridge.
