# Bosch 500 Series VeroCafe: Please restart appliance

The 500 Series manual gives two causes for the restart request.

## What Please restart appliance. actually means.

The 500 Series manual gives two causes for the restart request. Most often the brewing unit is heavily soiled or stuck in a position where it cannot be taken out; otherwise the machine has an error, and a sixty-second unplug is the owner step.

What to do when Please restart appliance. shows on the coffee machine

### Kind of code Brew unit

The brew unit did not reach the position the control expected, or could not press and brew as it should: it is caked with old grounds, dry where it needs its grease, jammed by a dose too large, or its drive and seals are worn. On a machine with a removable unit, lifting it out with the power off and rinsing it is the owner's check; a fixed unit is cleaned by its own cycle, and anything past that is a visit.

### Usually leads to Coffee machine brew unit repair

Resealing, lubricating or replacing the brew unit that tamps the grounds and presses water through them, removable or fixed.

### Shows up as What a Coffee Machine Error Code or Warning Symbol Means

A coffee machine error code may show as a short string of letters and numbers, a flashing symbol for water, grounds or the brew unit, a short sentence on a text display, or a machine that stops with one light blinking.

### Make Bosch

Bosch espresso makers get a home visit that separates a stubborn reminder on the display from a part that has actually worn.

02

When the machine has cooled, open the brewing chamber door, push the red lever up and rinse the brewing unit under warm running water, with no dish detergent.

## Questions about Please restart appliance..

### Can I clear Please restart appliance. myself?

Switch the machine on and off once with its button so the brewing unit can move back to its removal position. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### My Bosch 500 Series says restart but the brewing unit will not slide out. What now?

Bosch says a brewing unit that is stuck in place usually needs the machine switched back on, so the drive can park it where it releases. Never lever it out; if a restart does not free it, leave it to a technician.

### Can I run the Bosch brewing unit through a machine wash to clean it properly?

No. Bosch says to rinse it by hand under warm running water, not in the dishwasher, and to keep dish detergent and vinegar or acid cleaners off it, because they can damage it.

### How often should the brewing unit on a Bosch VeroCafe be rinsed?

Bosch asks for regular removal and rinsing on top of the automatic rinse. Owners who rinse it weekly rarely see this request.
