  If your Russell Hobbs Coffee Maker is beeping constantly, the red indicator light is flashing, and the control panel isn't lighting up, it likely means there's no water in the water tank. To resolve this: 1. Detach the water tank from the device and fill it with water. 2. Place a cup underneath. 3. Press any button. Some water will run through the water system into the cup. The device will stop beeping, the red indicator light goes out and the device can be restarted. 4. Select the function you want again.
