According to the user manual, when that happens it means the unit does not detect any water in the reservoir. If you're sure that there is water in the reservoir, it could be a problem with detecting the water.

The manual states that there is a limited 1-year warranty on this product. You can contact Hamilton Beach for further help, or for information on how to return the product under warranty, here:
