KRUPS "COFFEE TIME" ELECTRONIC PROGRAMMING CONSOLE

KRUPS electronic proQ,famming console has been destJned for ease of operation and flawless performance. Sensor touch control di.play with membrane

switches for highest user comfort and excellence in

design. The membrane switches

for auto (k), full flavor selector (j) and ON/OFF (g) have indicator lights. Pushing one of these membrane switches will turn this

function ON/OFF. If the function

is turned on the corresponding indicator light will be illuminated.

SETTING THE DIGITAL CLOCK

1. Plug in the KRUPS "Coffee

Time Plus"

2. Make sure machine is turned off (the red light should NOT

be illuminated.

3. A row of flickering figures will show inthe read-out display.

This is your signal to set the digital clock.

4. Press the "h" hour membrane switch and hold to advance

the proper read-out time. Watch the time display carefully as it advances quickly. Then press the "min"

minute membrane switch to set the precise time.

NOTE

AM/PM Indicators: When setting the Digital clock or

programming for "Wake-Up" coffee, AM is indicated by alight illuminated inthe upper left hand corner; PM is indicated in the lower left hand corner of the LED display. (If you pass by the time you wish to set, just repeat the setting procedure).

PREPARING THE COFFEE

Before making your first pot of delicious coffee, we recommend

operating the coffee maker once or twice with water only, without ground coffee or filter paper to remove any possible dust.

. Be sure that the water

container is empty. Remove literature, etc. if inserted in

the water container.

. The lid of the glass carafe

must by properly positioned during the brewing process. The front hooks have to be inside the carafe and the

rectangular part of the lid has to be pushed down so that it engages with the handle of the glass carafe.

. To release the lid just push

the rectangular part of the lid upwards.

. Make sure that the swivel

filter is closed properly during the brewing process. When closing the swivel filter

you will feel anoticeable resistance when the handle of the swivel filter is

approximately '/2 inch away

from the non-removableside

Page 8

part. Push in firmly until the handle touches the side of the coffee maker.

. Caution: If the swivel filter is

not pushed in properly the "Stop'n Serve" trigger can not function properly. This may cause hot water or hot

coffee to overflow.

. The "Stop'n Serve"

mechanism is opened as long as the glass carafe is inserted into the machine

and sits properly on the warming plate and the swivel filter is closed properly. When brewing coffee make sure that the glass carafe is in place (see Stop'n Serve Section).

PUTTING IN THE GROUND COFFEE

Swing the swivel filter to your left (see figure 0). Insert a paper filter (we recommend KRUPS size 4)with the seam pointing

towards the handle of the filter holder (see figure 0). Instead of

filter paper you can also use the ,tRUPS gold filter (model 'iF017). (When ordering filter paper or the gold filterfrom KRUPS be sure to indicate that they are for model 'iF136 & 'iF137).

Put ground coffee into the paper filter (see figure 0). We suggest using one level KRUPS measuring spoon of ground coffee for each cup of robust brewed coffee. After using your

KRUPS coffee maker several times you can adjust the

measure to suit your own taste. (Close the swivel filter and make sure that it is completely closed [see figure 0]).

Attention: Make sure that the

filterpaperdoesnottipover

when closing the swivel filter. Otherwise the water might run between the filter paper and the filter holder producing a very weak cup of coffee.

FILLING THE WATER

CHAMBER

Open the hinged lid (see figure

0). Pour in the desired quantity of water (see figure 0). The water level indicator shows you how much water you are filling

into the container. The amount of freshly brewed

coffee delivered after the brewing process will always be

slightly less than the amount put into the water container. This is

due to the minimal absorption of the water by the ground coffee. Therefore, put in a little more water to begin with so that you will have the number of cups that you desire.

Replace the glass carafe on the warming plate with the glass carafe lid in position. Switch the

ON/OFF membrane to "ON". The indicator light will go on

indicating that the brewing process has begun (see figure

0).

SELECTING THE FULLEST FLAVOR

The KRUPS "Coffee Time Plus" models have afull flavor selector. If you want to make 1- ~ cups of coffee, press the full flavor membrane switch (see figure ~). A GREEN UGHTWILL

APPEAR INDICATING THE 1 - 3 CUP SELECTON.

This will extend the brewing cycles so that the water will seep

into the ground coffee slowly

enough to yield brewed coffee that is rich, aromatic, and truly

delicious.

In order to have truly aromatic

coffee, the hot water must be allowed to

seep throughthe

ground coffee for a certain minimum time.

For making 4 - 12 cups, select

regular brewing. (The green light

is not illuminated).

AUTO SHUT-OFF AND WARM

KEEPING

The KRUPS "Coffee Time Plus" is equipped with an automatic

shut-off feature, that will turn-off the machine 2 hours after the

brewing process has begun. (The red indicator light will turn off).

Benefits: . This will prevent coffee from

losing its flavor . Energysaving . Safetyfeature

As long as the red indicator light above the ON/OFF membrane is

illuminated the coffee will be kept warm.

If you want to keep your coffee hot longer, push the ON/OFF membrane again.

SETTING "WAKE-UP"TIME

This feature enables you to enjoy

freshly brewed coffee at any pre-selected time within a twenty-four hour period. To use this feature, follow these instructions, AFTER setting the digital clock.

1. Press the program membrane

and a green light will appear indicating that the clock is ready to be programmed. Immediately press the "hour"

membrane and then the "minute" membrane to set a

program time (see figure ~). After a few seconds the LED

clock will jump back to the regular time.

2. The "Wake-Up" time is now

stored in the electronic memory.

3. Whenever you wish to check

the "Wake-Up" time that

being programmed, simply press the 'program membrane and the "Wake-Up" time will be displayed for a few seconds.

Page 9

.,.

In case you wish to change the "Wake-Up" time, press the program membrane, and proceed as described above.

PREPARING "WAKE-UP" COFFEE

To enjoy delicious "Wake-Up"

coffee that is freshly brewed and hot, set the "Wake-up" time you desire. (See setting

"Wake-up"

time.)

. Put inthe ground coffee.

. Fill the water chamber with

the desired number of cups.

. Place carafe back on

warming platform.

. Press the "Auto" membrane

and the red light will

illuminate (see figure ~).

. Atthe pre-programmed time,

the auto light will go "OFF", and the light above the ONI OFF membrane will go on automatically indicating that the brewing process

has

begun.

In this position coffee willbe kept

warm for two hours. After that

time, the heating mechanism

will

shut-off automatically~(See

Under "AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF

AND WARM KEEPING").

"STOP'N SERVE" FEATURE

The "Stop'n Serve" feature is

KRUPS' answer to the impatient coffee

drinker's clamor for "a

quick cup of coffee!" This device automatically stops the flow of brewed coffee through the filter cone if the glass carafe is

removed from 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

serving of one or two cups of coffee.

The "Stop'n Serve" device

closes off the filter cone so effectively that there is virtually

no coffee-drip onto the warming plate (one

drop, at most!) Once

the carafe is replaced, the brewing cycle and the flow of the

coffee into the carafe are resumed.

CAUTION Ifthe coffee does drip onto the

warming plate after removal of the carafe, it is usually an indication that the small black

seal in the filter holder is missing

or defective. (In this case you

can call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-526-5377 or in New Jersey call [201] 767-

5600). It is also possible that too much ground coffee has been placed into the paper filter. This causes the water that jets into

the filtercone to over flow

between

the paper filterand the

sides of the filter cone.

This over flow carries coffee

grounds with it that interfere with

the snap-shot action of the filter holder, thus allowing brewed coffee to continue to drip through. .

If this 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.

POWER FAILURE BACK-UP

In case of a power surge andlor failure, an electronic device will

keep all functions stored for 15 minutes.

For Example: If there is a power surge andlor

failure lasting for longer than 15 minutes, and the "Auto" light is "ON", then your wake-up coffee

will be cancelled out.

If your coffemaker is "ON" and there is a power failure it will temporarily suspend the coffee

making process, but will continue if the power is restored

within 15 minutes. (If the power failure is longer than 15minutes you will have to press the "ONI OFF" membrane again to resume coffee making). If the power failure lasts longer than 15 minutes, all functions including time and pre- programmed time have to be reentered again. This will be indicated by a blinking LED display.

CLEANING

. Always unplug this appliance

before cleaning. Clean the filter holder, the carafe and carafe lid in a solution of hot

water and mild liquid soap. These parts can also be placed in the upper level of

your dishwasher for safe effective cleaning.

. Never use scouring agents.

. Never immerse the appliance

itself in the water or any other liquid. To clean, simply wipe off with a soft, damp cloth.

. Never use acloth to clean the

inside of the water chamber, as this might leave fuzzy deposits in the chamber. Just. rinse with cold water, periodically.

DECALCIFYING

Although your KRUPS coffee

maker has the most advanced

water heating and pumping system, it will periodically need cleaning with a decalcifying agent.

. This is due to the calcium

(limestone) found in drinking

water.

. In some areas where the

water is hard,youwill need

to decalcify more frequently than in areas with soft water.

. Itwill also depend upon how

often you useyour coffee maker.

Page 10

WHEN TO DECALCIFY

You will know when such

cleaning is necessary by an obvious slowdown in the

brewing time of your coffee. This extended time indicates that

there isa calcium deposit inyour

coffee maker. We recommend using Krups original decalcifying

agent for cleaning your KRUPS

coffee maker. If used in accordance with the following

instructions, it will prolong the life of your coffee maker.

HOWTO DECALCIFY

Dissolve contents of one package 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 mihutes. After the then minute cooling period is over,

turn the coffee maker back "ON" and let the rest of the solution

f~w into the carafe. Rinse by cycling clean water

through two or three times. Do this process twice, pausing and turning the coffee maker "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

slows down.

CAUTION KRUPS decalcifying agent is a

citricacidwhich isharmless.

However,we recommend keeping itout of the reach of children. Donot take internally.Ifswallowed accidently, drink several glasses ofwater or milkand consult yourdoctor.

Forbest results. .. ... always use fresh, cold

water (warmwater might be stale and have mineral

deposits whichwouldimpair the flavor ofthe coffee).

...we recommend that you grind your own beans. Freshlyground beans

deliver more aroma and flavor.Use one KRUPS measuring spoon of beans per cup.

...serve coffee immediately after brewing. ... never reheat coffee.
