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 in the 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 itadvances
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 a light
illuminated in the upper left hand
corner; PM is indicated inthe
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
.
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
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

twenty-four hour period. To use

"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

coffee.
The "Stop'n Serve" device

effectively that there is virtually

the carafe is replaced, the
brewing cycle and the flow of the
coffee into the carafe are

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

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.
I
. Never use a cloth 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.
. It will alsodepend upon how
often you useyour coffee
maker.
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 10mihutes. 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.
