Why is steam coming from the drip tray and the pump operating intermittently?
The coffeemaker has overheated and entered an automatic cool-down cycle that lasts approximately 35 seconds. The ready indicator light will pulse during cool-down and turn solid when complete. The coffeemaker will complete this cycle automatically.
