What Empty grounds container
actually means.

Each coffee drops a pressed puck into the grounds container. When the container is judged full, the CM242WTXT asks for it and the drip tray to be emptied and cleaned before making more coffee.

What to do when Empty grounds container shows on the coffee machine

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Bertazzoni's own guidance for Empty grounds container on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Open the service door, slide out the drip tray and lift off the grounds container.

02

Empty and rinse both, dry them, and put them back as a pair.

03

If the request comes straight back with an empty container, book a visit so the container detection can be tested.

Still there?

It usually turns into coffee machine diagnostic visit. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

The prompt is ordinary upkeep and does not point to a problem. Emptying only the drip tray and leaving grounds behind is what causes the container to overfill and clog the machine later.

Questions
about Empty grounds container.

Can I clear Empty grounds container myself?
Open the service door, slide out the drip tray and lift off the grounds container. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Why must I empty the Bertazzoni grounds container every time I take out the drip tray?
Taking out the tray tells the machine the grounds were emptied, and it starts counting again from zero. Grounds left behind let the container overfill and can clog the machine.
Where is the grounds container on the Bertazzoni built-in coffee maker?
Behind the service door at the front, resting on the drip tray. Both come out together.
Is it bad if my Bertazzoni drip tray fills quickly?
Some water in the tray after rinses is normal, and Bertazzoni notes that small puffs of steam and drips after use are part of normal running. A tray that overflows between cups is worth a visit.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Empty grounds container?

Three things make the booking useful: the message or number exactly as the display showed it, the full model number from the plate, and whether the machine still grinds and pours at all. Send those and the likely part can be looked up before the van leaves.
