• How to correct fill beans container message

Cause:

• No beans in whole coffee bean hopper
• Grinder is jammed
• Grinder motor is faulty
• No power to the grinder

Troubleshooting:

If the "Fill Beans" message still appears when the bean hopper is full, this may be due to oily beans.

1. With the unit OFF, use a butter knife or similar object to loosen the beans in the hopper.
2. If the unit begins working, try using different coffee beans.
3. If the unit continues to show FILL BEANS, no further troubleshooting advice is available.

Answer:

The "Fill Beans" message scrolls across the EC24 Coffee Systems display if the coffee bean hopper is empty.

• Coffee bean hoppers are found on the top of the unit.
• Left compartment is for whole coffee beans. See EC24 Coffee System Coffee Volume for more information.
• Right compartment is for pre-ground coffee.
  • Use the scoop provided to place one scoop of pre-ground coffee into the funnel.
  • More than one scoop will cause the unit to clog.
• When preparing a cappuccino, the beans container must be filled before starting the program.
  • The unit will show "Fill Beans" during the program if the container is empty.
  • No coffee will be added to the beverage.

• Once filled, press the enter arrow to initiate the cycle.
• This is normal and occurs for every 12 oz or larger beverage.
