KRUPS SERIE EA9000

WELCOME

Dear Customer,

Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of an Espresso Automatic Series EA9000. With your machine, you can prepare a wide range of drinks; espressos, coffees or milk-based drinks, entirely automatically. It is designed so that you can enjoy the same quality at home as in a restaurant, whatever the time of the day and throughout the week. You will appreciate both the quality of the result in your cup and its superior ease-of-use.

Thanks to its Compact Thermoblock System with built-in brewing chamber, its 15 bar pump, and because it can use either coffee beans freshly ground just before the coffee is made or ground coffee fed via a funnel, your machine will give you ristrettos, espressos and coffees hot from the first cup with maximum aroma and a fine creamy golden-brown top.

With its exclusive and patented system for preparing milk-based drinks automatically, you can easily make delicious cappuccinos and caffe lattes, without compromise: hot, with the “three layer effect” and thick, creamy froth. Its automatic steam nozzle rinsing and cleaning programmes guarantee hassle-free hygiene for long-lasting performance, cup after cup.

With the hot water function, you can prepare teas and other drinks instantaneously.

You can also personalise all of these drinks using the “Favourites” menu. You can set the volume, proportions, intensity and temperature of your drinks.

The colour touch-screen makes navigation ergonomic and comfortable. It will guide you through each step, from preparing your drink to servicing your machine.

We wish you many years of enjoyment with your Krups machine.

The Krups team

A FEW EXPERT TIPS

Here are a few tips for achieving the best results from your machine:

n The quality of your water significantly influences the quality of the flavours. Limescale and

chlorine can alter the taste of your coffee. We recommend that you use the Claris Aqua Filter System cartridge or low mineral-content water to preserve all of the flavours of your coffee.

n When preparing ristretto, espresso and coffee recipes, we recommend that you use

tulip-shaped porcelain cups, preheated beforehand (by running them under hot water, for instance), and whose size is appropriate for the quantity you want to make. For your cappuccino, caffe latte and hot milk recipes, we recommend that you use thick glass cups, for an appealing, precise and gourmet presentation.

n Roasted coffee beans can lose their flavour if they are not protected. We recommended

that you use the amount of beans required for your consumption for the next 4-5 days. As the machine automatically detects when there are no beans, you can be certain that you will always have sufficient beans for preparing your coffee drinks. Though the quality of coffee beans is subjective and varied, we can nevertheless recommend that you use arabica rather than robusta. After a few trials, you will learn how to mix and roast the coffee beans according to your tastes. Lastly, please remember that oily and caramelised coffee beans must be avoided, as they can damage your machine.

n The quality and fineness of the grinding determine the strength of the flavours and the quality

of the crema. The finer the ground, the richer the crema. Moreover, it must be adapted to the drink you want: fine for ristretto and espresso, coarser for coffee. For your comfort, the machine carries out this operation automatically.

n Thanks to the ground coffee funnel and spoon, you can choose to serve your drink

differently. You can vary the flavours and strengths of your coffee as you wish. Ground coffee should ideally be stored in the refrigerator in a hermetically sealed bag.

n You can use pasteurised or UHT, skimmed, semi-skimmed or whole milk, straight from the

refrigerator (7°C). Using special milks (microfiltered, raw, fermented, enriched, etc.) can produce less satisfactory results especially regarding the quality of the froth. However, we recommend that you use fresh, cold milk for pre-programmed recipes.

FIRST USE

INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE

n Place your machine on a stable, flat, heat-resistant surface away from water splashes and

sources of heat. Ensure that the location chosen is sufficiently well ventilated, as the appliance gives off heat. Please do not place the appliance on surfaces such as marble. Remove the protective films from the display and grids.

3.1 Before first use

n Before using the appliance for the first time, check the hardness of your water so that you can set

the appliance accordingly. This operation should also be carried out when you use your machine in a place where the hardness of the water is different or if you notice a difference in the hardness of the water. To check the water hardness, use the stick supplied with your machine or contact your local water authority.

Measuring the water hardness

Fill a glass of water and immerse the stick in it for 5 seconds. Wait for a minute before reading the water hardness. You will be asked for the hardness class observed (from 0 to 4) during the initial setup of the machine. The red zones on the stick indicate the degree of hardness: class 0 = no red zone, i.e. your water has a very low mineral content. Your water is more or less hard depending on the number of red zones. The details of the classes are given in the table below:

Degree of hardness

Class 0 Class 1 Class 2 Class 3 Class 4

° dH < 3° > 4° > 7° > 14° > 21°

° e < 3,75° > 5° > 8,75° > 17,5° > 26,25°

° f < 5,4° > 7,2° > 12,6° > 25,2° > 37,8°

Danger: Connect the appliance to an earthed mains socket. Voltage 220 - 240V. Failure to do

so means that you run the risk of fatal injury due to electricity! Respect the safety guidelines (see section “Safety guidelines”).

KRUPS SERIE EA9000

n When your machine displays this screen to you, or when you have performed the water hardness test,

you must indicate the number of red and green zones, using the touch screen. If the stick shows 2 red zones and 2 green zones, press the first two red squares and the last two green squares on the touch screen. The screen will then show an identical representation of your stick.

If you move home or if the quality of your water changes significantly, you can also reset the water hardness at any time.

3.2 Initial settings

n When using the machine for the first time, you will be prompted to configure various settings. Follow

the indications displayed on the screen. The aim of the following paragraphs is to give you a few visual cues.

3.3 Configuring the settings

n Switch on the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button (1). A welcome message is displayed on the

screen, followed by the “Language” setting menu. After each selection, you can go back by using the

symbol. Configure the other settings by following the indications on the screen.
