.
Into the water container. This is 
due to the minimal absorption of
the water by the ground coffee. 
Therefore, put In a littlemore 
water to begin with so that you 
willhave the number of cups that
you desire.
ReplAce the glass carafe on the 
warming plate with the glass 
carafe lid in position. Plug Incof-
fee maker. Switch the on/off
switch to position I.The indicator
light inthe switch willgo on indi-
cating that the brewing process
has begun (see figure 0).
Selecting the fullest flavor
(model # 131 and # 134 only) 
The KRUPS "Coffee Aroma
Plus" models have a fullflavor
selector switch. If you want to
make 1-3 cups of coffee, turn
this switch to the appropriate
position (see figure 0). This will
extend the brewing cycle so that
the water willseep Into the
ground coffee slowly enough to
yield brewed coffee that Is rich,
aromatic and truly delicious.
Inorder to have truly aromatic
coffee. hot water must be allo-
wed to seep through the ground 
coffee for a certain minimum of 
time.
For making 4-12 cups, the full- 
flavor switch should be turned
to the position "4-max.".
"STOP'N SERVE" FEATURE
The "Stop'n Serve" feature Is
KRUPS' answer to the impatient
coffee drinker's clamor for "a
quick cup ofcoffeel" This device 
automatically stops the flow of 
brewed coffee through the filter 
conp. if the glass carafe is remo- 
ved Irom the warming plate 
during the brewing cycle. You
have about 20 seconds between
the removal of the carafe and its
being reinserted to allow the ser- 
ving of one or two cups of coffee.
The "Stop'n Serve" device clo-
ses off the filter cone so effec-

tivelythat there Is virtually no cof- 
fee-drip onto the warming plate 
(one drop, at mostl).Once the 
carafe Is replaced. the brewing 
cycle and the flow of coffee into
the carafe are resumed.
CAUTION 
Ifcoffee does drip onto the war-
ming plate after removal of the 
carafe, it is usually an indication 
that too much ground coffee has 
been placed into the paper filter. 
This causes the water that jets
into the filtercone to overflow 
between the paper filter and the
sides of the filtercone. This over- 
flow carries coffee grounds with
itthat interfere with the snap- 
shut action of the filter holder,
thus allowing brewed coffee to 
continue to drip through. Ifthis 
blockage and subsequent 
dripping do occur, replace the
glass carafe Immediately and 
allow the full brewing cycle to 
run Its course. Do not swing 
out the swivel filter until the 
brewing cycle Is completed.
As long as the ON/OFFswitch
Is In position I, the coffee
maker will keep the coffee hot
(see figure ~).
CLEANING
. Always unplug this appliance
before cleaning. Clean the fil- 
ter holder, the carafe and 
carafe lid In a solution Of hot
water and mild liquid soap. 
These parts can also be pla- 
ced Inthe upper level of 
your dishwasher for safe
effective cleaning.
. Never use scouring agents. 
. Never Immerse the app-
liance itself Inwater or any 
other liquid.Toclean.simply
wipe off with a soft, damp
cloth.
. Neveruse acloth toclean the
Inside of the water chamber, 
as this might leave fuzzy
deposits in the chamber. Just
rinse with cold water, periodi- 
cally.
DECALCIFYING
Although your KRUPS coffee
maker has the most advanced
water heating and pumping
system, It willperiodically need 
cleaning with a decalcifying
agent...
. This is due to the calcium
(limestone) found Indrinking 
water.
. In some areas where the
water Is hard, you willneed 
to decalcify more frequently
than in areas with soft water.
. Itwillalsodepend uponhow
often you use yourcoffee
maker.
WHEN TO DECALCIFY
You wlli know when such a clea-
ning Is necessary by an obvious
slowdown In the brewing time of 
your coffee. This
extended time
indicates that there Is a calcium
deposit In your coffee maker. We
recommend using KRUPS origi- 
nal decalcifying agent for clea-
ning your KRUPS coffee maker. 
If used in accordance with the
foNowinginstructions, it will pro-
long the life of your coffee maker.

HOWTO DECALCIFY
Dissolve contents of one
pack-
age of Better Brew In two cups 
of cold tap water. Pour solution
into the water
tank, then put the
empty carafe
and filter basket in
place, and run the coffeemaker 
until half the solution has flowed
Into the glass carafe. Then turn
the coffeemaker "OFF" and let 
stand for 10 minutes. After the 
then minute cooling period Is 
over, turn the coffeemaker
back
"ON" and let the rest of the solu-
tion flow into the carafe.
Rinse by cycling clean water
through two or three times. Do 
this process twice. pausing and 
turning the coffeemaker "OFF"
for a few minutes in between
each rinse session.
We recommend to decalcify with
Better Brew 4 times per year or
whenever the brewing cycle.
