Troubleshooting
This chapter summarises the most common problems you could encounter
with your coffeemaker. If you are unable to solve the problem with the
information below, visit www.philips.com/senseo-sarista/support for
a list of frequently asked questions or contact the Consumer Care Centre
in your country. On this site you can also watch instruction movies on how
to use, clean and descale your Philips SENSEO
®
SARISTA coffeemaker.
Problem Possible solution
The coffeemaker seems
to be leaking and or
water ends up in the
drip tray.
This is normal. To guarantee the perfect cup of coffee the coffeemaker uses
water to rinse the brewing system. This happens during the automatic rinsing
cycle when the coffeemaker has not been used for a longer period of time
(20 hours) and before and after brewing each cup. A part of the water ows
through the internal system directly into the drip tray. Empty the drip tray
regularly and at least before brewing a jug of coffee.
When to descale the
coffeemaker.
You need to descale the coffeemaker when the CALC CLEAN light lights up
continuously. When the CALC CLEAN light lights up depends on the usage
frequency. When you brew coffee very often, you have to descale sooner
than when you brew coffee less often.
The coffeemaker does
not work.
Plug in and switch on the coffeemaker.
Make sure that the voltage indicated on the coffeemaker corresponds to the
local mains voltage.
Fill the water tank with water.
If the activity light ashes quickly, make sure that the brewing unit is inserted
correctly and that the service door is closed properly (see chapter ‘Cleaning
the brewing unit’).
If the CALC CLEAN light ashes quickly, you switched off the coffeemaker
during the descaling procedure (see chapter ‘Descaling the coffeemaker’).
Restart the descaling procedure.
