The CM 5000, CM 5100 and CM 5200 countertop coffee machines have a float switch in the water container. The float switch detects the fill level.

Empty the water container.

Check the water container and particularly the inner part of the float switch for deposits.

Shake the water container to check whether the float switch moves.

If the float switch moves and no deposits can be detected, fill the water container and refit it.

If the float switch does not move or if, despite its motion, deposits can be detected, clean the water container as follows:

• Remove the water container.

• Clean the water container in a dishwasher if possible. Alternatively, soak the water container overnight in warm water and a little washing-up liquid.

• Dry the water container.

• Carefully clean and dry the surface the water container sits on, particularly the recesses.

• Fill the water container and refit it.

• Repeat the cleaning process regularly.
