Question 2

Does the ELECTROLUX Create 5 coffee maker have a timer or delayed start programming?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the ELECTROLUX Create 5 E5CM1-6ST coffee maker has a delayed start programming. You can program the device to automatically prepare your coffee at the desired time.

Procedure to program the delayed start:

Press the Program (or Prog) button: the LED display blinks and shows 12:00 along with a clock icon
Use the Hour button to set the desired hours
Use the Minute button to set the minutes
Press the Program button again to confirm: the programmed time is displayed and the blinking stops
The clock icon remains lit continuously and the display immediately returns to the current time

How to start the programmed preparation: Once the time is set, press the Start/Stop button. The power indicator lights up and hot water will start flowing at the programmed time you set.

Important notice: If you do not press any button within 5 seconds after activating the programming mode (after pressing Program), the setting is automatically canceled, the blinking stops, and the clock icon disappears. In this case, you will need to restart the programming.

Automatic shut-off: Even if you do not manually stop the coffee maker, it has a safety automatic shut-off feature that turns off the device after 40 minutes of operation. In standby mode, the power consumption is only 0.5 W.

Question 3

No water flows during the first use - what should I do?

Accepted Answer

If no water flows during your first use of the Electrolux E6EC1-6BST coffee maker, this is usually due to air present in the water circuit. Here’s how to properly prime your machine:

Start by completely filling the water tank (capacity 1.8 liters) with cold, clean water, ensuring it is properly locked in place. Place an empty 1-cup filter (without coffee) in the filter holder and attach it to the percolator by turning from 'INSERT' to 'LOCK'. Make sure the steam knob is in the horizontal 'OFF' position.

Start the machine by pressing the power button. The indicator lights up and the buttons begin to blink. Wait for the buttons to stop blinking, which means the preheating is complete. It’s important: during the first pumping of water, you may hear noise and gurgling. This is completely normal. The machine is expelling the air that is inside the circuit. These noises will stop after about 20 seconds.

Once preheating is complete, press the one-cup button to start a priming cycle without coffee. Let the water flow completely. This step is crucial to purge all the air from the distribution system. Your coffee maker's pump delivers 15 bars of pressure, so it may take a few seconds before the water starts to flow during the first test.

If after this complete procedure the water still does not flow, check that there is no cap or transport protection around the water inlet tube in the tank. Also, ensure that the tank is truly filled with water and properly pushed onto the device. Empty the drip tray once priming is complete, and the machine is then ready for use.

Question 4

How to remove the lid from the carafe of the ELECTROLUX Create 4 E4CM16ST coffee maker?

Accepted Answer

To remove the lid from the carafe of your ELECTROLUX Create 4 E4CM16ST coffee maker, follow these simple steps:

Check the lid attachment: Generally, the lid is designed to be easily removed by lifting it straight up. Make sure the carafe is empty and cool before handling the lid.
Lift gently: Hold the carafe firmly with one hand and try to lift the lid with the other hand by pulling upwards. The lid may be clipped on, so apply a slight pressure.
Turn slightly if necessary: If the lid does not come off by simply pulling, try turning it slightly in one direction and then the other to unlock the attachment mechanism.
Avoid excessive force: Do not use too much force to avoid damaging the lid or the carafe. If the lid remains stuck, check for any residues or dirt that may be preventing its removal.

These tips will help you safely remove the lid from the carafe for easy cleaning or maintenance.

Question 5

Why is my ELECTROLUX EKF900 coffee maker not heating up and the warming plate remains cold while the coffee is brewing?

Accepted Answer

Your ELECTROLUX EKF900 coffee maker has two distinct heating systems: the main heating element that heats the water for brewing and the warming plate that keeps the coffee hot. The fact that the coffee is brewing normally indicates that the brewing element is functioning correctly. The problem is therefore localized to the warming base only, which significantly limits the possible causes.

Start by checking that the warming plate is not interrupted by an overheating issue. This coffee maker has a safety protection system that can disable the heating in case of a detected malfunction. Allow the machine to cool completely for about 30 seconds without touching anything, then plug it back in and restart a brew. If the plate remains cold after this attempt, proceed with the following checks.

Check that the warming base is free from moisture and limescale deposits that could prevent proper electrical contact. Gently clean the base with a dry cloth, ensuring that the carafe and its lid are correctly positioned: the carafe should not be placed empty on the plate, as this could damage the base. Also, check that the carafe is properly inserted and that its bottom is fully in contact with the plate.

If you haven't cleaned your coffee maker for a long time, a complete descaling is recommended. Fill the reservoir with a mixture of water and a specific descaler for coffee makers up to the maximum line, place the carafe on the base, plug in the device, and start a brew. After descaling, empty the carafe and run at least two complete cycles with only cold water to thoroughly rinse the system. Limescale can sometimes affect the heating components of the plate.

If despite these interventions the warming plate remains cold, the problem originates from an internal electrical malfunction: either the plate's heating element, or the thermostat that controls it, or the electrical circuit that powers it. The fact that the brewing system is functioning normally indicates that the issue does not concern the overall power supply of the coffee maker. In this case, it is recommended not to use the coffee maker anymore and to contact ELECTROLUX customer service or an authorized repairer, as this requires internal technical intervention.
