Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| No coffee dispensed | Water tank empty, capsule not inserted correctly, machine needs descaling. | Fill water tank, ensure capsule/adapter is correctly placed, perform descaling. |
| Coffee is cold/not hot enough | Temperature setting too low. | Adjust temperature setting to a higher level (refer to "Adjusting Temperature Settings"). |
| Water leaking | Water tank not properly seated, drip tray full. | Ensure water tank is securely in place, empty and clean drip tray. |
| Buttons flashing erratically | Internal error, settings issue. | Try resetting to default settings (refer to "Resetting to Default Settings"). If problem persists, contact support. |
