CVA 7845 DirectWater: Drink cancelled although a cup is present

CVA 7845 DirectWater: A very wide cup can sit outside the cup-rim sensor’s detection area, so automatic spout positioning cancels the drink. Remove the wide vessel, use a narrower cup centred below both spouts and repeat once. Do not hold the sensor or spout down by hand during automatic movement.
