If the x2 button flashes red, descale the coffee pad machine.
Why is the filling quantity gradually getting smaller with my WMF Coffee Maker?
If the filling quantity is gradually getting smaller, always turn the adjusting knob to the right as far as possible. Also, regularly check that the central opening of the pad cartridge is free to avoid blockages. Descale the coffee pad machine regularly. Check that the suction cap is fitted securely to the floor of the water tank and perform a rinse to remove air underneath the suction cap.
Why is my WMF 5 Coffee Maker producing weak coffee?
If the coffee strength is not sufficient, check to see whether the coffee pad has been correctly inserted into the pad cartridge.
What to do if the ready indicator flashes red and no water is released from my WMF 5 Coffee Maker?
If the ready indicator flashes red and no water is released, the water tank might be empty. Fill the water tank with cold water. Also, the float in the water tank might be blocked. Remove any foreign particles blocking the float. It may also be necessary to descale the water tank.
What to do if I cannot lock the pad cartridge on my WMF 5?
If you cannot lock the pad cartridge, check whether the coffee pad has been correctly inserted into the pad cartridge. When using 2 coffee pads, press the lower one into the recess. Also, press on the coffee pad so that there is a small recess in the middle of it.
Why is my WMF Coffee Maker pump making loud noises?
If the pump emits loud noises, check to ensure that the suction cap is fitted securely to the floor of the water tank. The suction cap still needs to be fitted securely even if you are not using a water filter.
Why doesn't my WMF 5 Coffee Maker produce crema?
If the coffee machine does not produce any crema, clean and descale the strainer at regular intervals. The coffee pad machine starts producing optimal quality of its crema once you have used it a few times.
Why are the cups filled unevenly with my WMF 5 Coffee Maker?
Minor differences in filling levels are impossible to avoid entirely. Place the coffee pad machine onto a level installation surface.
What to do if only cold water comes out of my WMF Coffee Maker after rinsing?
If only cold water comes out during start-up after rinsing, repeat start-up. Make sure that the water tank has been filled sufficiently with water and do not interrupt the rinse procedure.
