Philips Grind & Brew Cafetière - Manual (Page 15)

Problem Possible solution
The appliance does not work. Plug in and switch on the appliance.
Make sure that the voltage indicated on the appliance corresponds to
the local mains voltage.
Fill the water reservoir with water.
When I use the grinder, the
coffee is too weak.
Make sure the number of cups you select with the 2-12 CUPS button is
consistent with the amount of water in the water reservoir. Please keep
in mind that the appliance uses all the water in the water reservoir.
Set the grind selection knob to a finer grind setting to obtain stronger
coffee.
Use the STRENGTH button to set the coffee strength to ‘strong’.
When you use coffee beans, make sure you do not press the pre-
ground coffee button, as this switches off the grinder.
Use coffee beans of a stronger blend or flavour.
To increase the coffee strength, select a higher number of cups with the
2-12 CUPS button than the number of cups you fill the water reservoir
with.
When I use pre-ground
coffee, the coffee is too weak.
Make sure the amount of pre-ground coffee in the filter is consistent
with the amount of water in the water reservoir.All the water inside the
waterresvoir will be used. Please keep in mind that the appliance uses all
the water in the water reservoir.
Use ground coffee of a stronger blend or flavour.
To increase the coffee strength, increase the amount of pre-ground
coffee or decrease the amount of water.
I have set the coffee
strength to ‘strong’ with the
STRENGTH button, but the
coffee is too weak.
When the grinder is switched off, you cannot change the coffee strength
with the STRENGTH button. In this case you can only increase the
coffee strength by increasing the amount of pre-ground coffee or
decreasing the amount of water, or by using coffee of a stronger blend
or flavour.
The filter overflows when
I remove the jug from the
appliance while it is brewing
coffee.
If you remove the jug for more than 20 seconds during the brewing
cycle, the drip stop causes the filter holder to overflow. Also note that
the coffee does not reach its full taste before the end of the brewing
cycle. Therefore we advise you not to remove the jug and pour out the
coffee before the end of the brewing cycle.
The appliance continues to
drip long after the brewing
cycle has ended.
The dripping is caused by condensation of steam. It is completely normal
that the appliance drips for some time.
If the dripping does not stop, the drip stop may be clogged. To clean the
drip stop, push it to open it and then rinse it under the tap.
If you remove the jug for more than 20 seconds during the brewing
cycle, the drip stop causes the filter basket to overflow.
The coffee is not hot enough. Place the jug properly on the hotplate.
