What INSERT BREWING UNIT
actually means.

JennAir asks for the brewing unit to be taken out and cleaned every month. It can only come out with the machine switched off at On/Standby, and it goes back onto a support and a pin at the bottom, then clicks in with the two red release buttons popping out. A unit that is only partly on its pin brings this message up.

What to do when INSERT BREWING UNIT shows on the coffee machine

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from JennAir's own guidance for INSERT BREWING UNIT on its coffee machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Put the machine to standby with its On/Standby button and wait out the rinse; only then pull the spout so the door swings open, and remove the cup tray and grounds container.

02

Slide the brewing unit onto its support and bottom pin and press PUSH until it clicks and both red buttons spring out.

03

If it will not go in, squeeze its moving parts together top and bottom first, then try again without forcing it.

04

Refit the tray and container and close the door; book a visit if the message stays.

What not to do

Questions
about INSERT BREWING UNIT.

Can I clear INSERT BREWING UNIT myself?
Put the machine to standby with its On/Standby button and wait out the rinse; only then pull the spout so the door swings open, and remove the cup tray and grounds container. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
How often should I clean the JennAir brewing unit?
Once a month. Take it out with the machine switched off at On/Standby, rinse it and refit it until it clicks.
Why won't the JennAir brewing unit go back in?
Its moving parts may have shifted. Squeeze the unit together at both ends so it shortens, then guide it back onto its pin.
Can I pull the JennAir brewing unit out while the machine is on?
No. JennAir says it cannot be removed while switched on, and forcing it can damage it.

Back to your everyday

Still showing INSERT BREWING UNIT?

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.
