Introduction

Your new KRUPS “Espresso Vivo” features the latest in espresso technology and the most sophisticated features.

Your new “Espresso Vivo” is another one of KRUPS finest espresso makers that is now available to you for at home use.

-Using Your “Espresso

Wvo”

for the First lime

We recommend that you get familiar with all the parts of your “Espresso Vivo” before operating the machine. Insert filter holder

into the machine and remove and replace

the water reservoir. Wipe off the steam

nozzle and “Perfect Froth” attachment with a damp cloth to make sure all dust particles from transport are removed. Wash all loose

parts in warm, soapy water, rinse thoroughly and dry.

When using your “Espresso Vivo” for the first time we recommend running water through the machine to remove any dust particles that may have settled during shipping.

Make sure before you start that the

removable overflow grid is properly in place and that the drip tray is properly inserted.

Before plugging the appliance into an electrical outlet, make sure that the pump switch is in the 0 position.

Before First Use / Cleaning the Internal System

Before using your “Espresso Viva” for the first time, as well as after a long period of non-use, you will need to prime the machine for optimal performance. This requires

running several cups of water through the system (without espresso). To prime the unit:

Step 1

Open the water chamber lid and remove

the water reservoir

(see

figure

1).

This allows you to conveniently bring the water reservoir to the faucet.

Fill the water container with fresh cold water just below the hinge of the handle (see figure

2).

Insert the water container back into the appliance (see figure

3).

Make sure that it sits in properly so the valve on the base of the water reservoir is activated. The front view water level

indicator tells you how much water you

have added.

Page 10

Step 2

H Insert the filter holder (without espresso)

into the brewing head. Do this by raising the filter holder up into the machine at a 45 degree angle (figure 4).

H Place at least a 5 oz. cup directly under

the filter holder (see figure 5).

Make sure the pump switch is in the ‘off”

position. Using the ON/OFF button, turn

“on” the appliance

(see

fig. 6 &

7).

The two indicator lights, yellow and red, will illuminate. Some water may drip out of the brewing head during the heating period.

This is normal.

Set the pump switch to the B position

(see figure 6).

This will activate the pump. Upon first use,

the

emptY

boiler will need to intake water into the boiler chamber, and You will hear a distinct initial thumping noise.

As soon as water is released from the filter

holder, turn the pump switch back to the “off” position to allow the unit to reach the proper temperature.

Step 3 As soon as the yellow (thermostat) light

goes out, the machine is properly heated and ready for use.

Set the pump switch to the p position

and let water run into cup, stopping and starting water flow by using the pump

switch (see figure 9).

Repeat this process until half of the water in

the water reservoir has been used.

This will require you to stay with the machine to empty each cup as it becomes full. Upon completion of each cup set pump switch to the “off” position.

Espresso is a far richer and stronger brew than regular coffee. It should be deep, dark and delicious. Most people find they enjoy it in small quantities because of its richness and for that reason, espresso is usually served in small 2-2,5 oz. demitassse cups.

The mark of real espresso is its wonderful inviting fragrance and a light brown

“Crema”, found on top of the surface of the

coffee. Your “Espressso Vivo”, properly

used, will always produce espresso that is

deep, dark, and delicious. Just follow the

instructions and use fresh, well roasted

espresso beans.

If you choose to grind your own beans we recommend using the KRUPS II Barista #220.

Remember, espresso requires a much finer grind than regular coffee. We recommend grinding your espresso beans for approximately 60 seconds; or until it has a

talcum powder appearance and texture.

Before you make Your first cup of delicious espresso, make sure that the boiler chamber has water.

With the water reservoir full, place a cup directly under the filter holder. Turn “on” the

unit and set the pump switch to p. As soon

as water begins to flow from the filter

holder, the boiler is full. Set the pump switch back to the ‘off’ position. When the yellow thermostat light goes off, you are

ready to make espresso.

Making Espresso Step 1

Fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold

water (figures I-3).

While making espresso, water can be added to the reservoir by opening the hinged water chamber lid and adding water to the

Page 11

water reservoir, using another receptacle to fill the container.

’

CAUTION: If the water reservoir is empty and the pump is running, you will hear a very distinct noise, which is louder than the normal operating sound. If this happens, turn the machine off. Check water reservoir and refill as needed. Never let the pump run when the water reservoir is empty, as this can damage the pump.

Step 2

Set the pump switch to the “off” position

and turn the unit “on” (figures 6 & 7).

Both indicator lights will illuminate. When the yellow indicator light goes out, the unit is ready for use.

Remove the filter holder from the appliance. Choose the desired filter basket which is required for making one or two cups of espresso and insert into

filter holder (see figure 10).

Depending on which filter basket you have chosen, add one measuring spoon of espresso coffee for each cup of espresso that you are preparing (figure

11).

-The one cup filter basket only requires one KRUPS measuring spoon of espresso coffee.

-The two cup filter basket only requires two KRUPS measuring spoons of espresso coffee.

Gently press (tamp) the coffee into the

filter holder using the bottom of the

measuring spoon (see figure

121,

and

ensure that any loose coffee remaining

on the outer edges are removed (see

figure

13).

Insert the filter holder back into the machine by raising it up at a 45 degree angle and turning it to the right, until

the filter holder is locked into place

(see figure 14).

Place a cup which has at least a 2-2.5 oz. capacity underneath the filter holder spout.

If you are preparing more than one cup of espresso, be sure to position two cups under the brewing spouts. When preparing cappuccino you will need a cup that has at least a 5 oz. capacity.

As soon as the yellow thermostat light

goes out, set the pump switch to the

position,(see

figure 15).

When the desired amount of espresso has been brewed, turn the pump switch back to the off position. Remove the cup from under the filter holder.

To remove the coffee from the filter basket, remove the filter holder from the machine by grasping the filter holder and turning to the left, until it dislodges.

H Dispose of used coffee in a waste

receptacle (see figure

161,

using the thumb guard to hold the filter basket in place.

Reinsert the empty filter holder back into the machine to keep it warm.

If you wish to continue making espresso, disregard the yellow thermostat light. It simply indicates that the thermostat is regulating the temperature.

In addition to preparing espresso, you can also use your “Espresso Vivo” to froth milk for cappucino. Cappucino reportedly takes its name from the chocolate hues of the robes worn by the Capuchin monks who

favored this delicious desert coffee. While

cappuccino is traditionally made up of espresso and frothed milk, it can be tailored

to one’s own taste with cinnamon, sugar,

chocolate flakes, or even liquor. Its versatility makes cappucino a world-wide gourmet choice.

As long as your “Espresso Vivo” is turned

on and the water reservoir is properly filled, you can use the steaming feature. There is no need to prepare espresso before using this steaming feature.

For best results, you should use the “Perfect Froth” attachment.

Page 12

If it is not in place, attach it now

(see

figure 17).

KRUPS “Perfect Froth” attachment lets you froth milk perfectly for making cappuccino.

Frothing Milk for Cappuccino

Step 1 The first step in making cappucino is to

make espresso. See section “Preparing Espresso”. When preparing cappuccino use a cappuccino cup which has a capacity of at

least 5 oz. You should fill the cup

l/2

way

with espresso.

Make sure that the pump switch is in the

0 position (see figure 18).

Step 2

Take a stainless steel frothing pitcher and fill

113

l/2

full with fresh, cold milk and set

aside. This amount of milk will yield enough froth for two cups of cappuccino. If you need more froth, repeat these steps.

We recommend using skim or 2% milk if you prefer a stiff, dense froth. Use regular

milk if you prefer a creamier type of froth.

NOTE: When you start frothing milk, there will be a thumping sound which occurs during the steam preparation. This results from the

interval controlled water pump condensing

water into steam.

As the thumping sound begins a few drops

of water will come out of the steam nozzle before entirely changing over to steam.

Step 3

When the yellow thermostat light goes

out, insert the steam nozzle half way into the milk and turn the steam knob slowly to the max position (see figure

19).

Leave the steam nozzle in the milk for approximately 45-60 seconds, depending on how much froth you want and the type of milk you are using.

NOTE: Do not bring milk to a boil (this will happen if large bubbles start forming at the surface

of the milk).

Do not let the “Perfect Froth” attachment

touch the bottom of the pitcher. This will

prevent you from frothing.the milk.

Step 4 After the milk is frothed, keep the “Perfect

Froth” in the milk until the steam knob has been turned to the 0 position. This will prevent any splattering from

occuring.

After milk is frothed, set aside. If you like very stiff froth, let the pitcher set for a few seconds.

Now you are ready to add the frothed milk

to the already prepared espresso. Pour the

milk into the cup by holding back the froth with your spoon. Fill the remainder of the cup with the hot milk and then spoon on the froth. In Italy cappuccino is normally one

part espresso to two parts milk plus froth.

you’are

making more than one or two cups of cappuccino, it is recommended that you place the finished espresso on top of the warming plate with a cloth or saucer covering the cups. This will help to keep the espresso hot.

Attention:

The top closure of the “Perfect Froth”

attachment

(see

figure 22, part A) has a very fine hole which draws air into the milk.

If this tiny hole gets clogged, “Perfect Froth”

will not work properly. Therefore, never

immerse the top closure in milk or froth. If you wish to prepare espresso immediately

after using the steam nozzle, the machine must be cooled down to the proper brewing

temperature. (When frothing milk, the temperature of the water is much hotter than when you are brewing espresso.)

In order that you do not burn your next

batch of espresso, insert the clean filter

holder into the machine and set the pump

switch to p. Allow

l/2

cup of water to run

through the machine.

Page 13

This process cools the machine sufficiently to prepare additional cups of espresso.

Heating Liquids

The steam nozzle can also be used to heat liquids, without frothing, such as tea and instant soup. To heat liquids:

Set the pump switch to the off position. Swing out the steam nozzle and remove the

“Perfect Froth” attachment Make sure there is enough water in the

water reservoir Turn the unit “on”. Initially, a small amount

of water and steam will emerge from the steam nozzle.

As soon as the yellow thermostat light goes out, place the cup or container under the steam nozzle. Turn the steam knob slowly to the max position.

Once liquid is heated, slowly return the steam knob back to the 0 position and remove the cup from under the steam nozzle.

NOTE:

If you wish to prepare espresso immediately after using the steam feature, it is essential to allow the machine to adjust to the proper temperature. Insert the empty filter holder and place a cup directly underneath. Turn the pump switch to the Q’ position and

allow water to run through until the yellow thermostat light illuminates. Return the

pump switch to the off position and prepare

espresso.

Cleaning the Perfect Froth Attachment

It is strongly advised that you wipe off the

milk residue which may have collected on the “Perfect Froth” and steaming nozzle

after the frothing process is completed.

For a thorough cleaning of the “Perfect Froth” attachment, remove the separate parts A, B, & C (see figure 22).

All parts should be rinsed in warm, soapy water. If the small section of part A is clogged, it can be opened using a fine

sewing needle. Use caution when removing the “Perfect

Froth” from the steaming nozzle as it may

still be hot.

Use a damp cloth to clean the steam nozzle. Use caution when cleaning or removing the

steaming nozzle as it may still be hot.

Cleaning the Machine

After preparing espresso five times, the drip tray and grid may need to be emptied and cleaned (see figure 20).

The water reservoir, drip tray, baffle grid,

filter holder, and “Perfect Froth” attachment should be washed and rinsed in warm, soapy water on a regular basis.

The warming tray can be removed and wiped with a damp cloth for easy cleaning.

Do not place any loose pieces in the dishwasher.

IMPORTANT: Clean the steam nozzle each time you have immersed it in milk, otherwise the inside of the nozzle becomes clogged with milk particles. Allow the steam to escape into a wet cloth for one or two seconds after frothing milk. This will flush out any milk residue.

CAUTION: Do not try to disassemble

the main body of the machine.

If necessary, the steam nozzle can be

removed using the hexagonal key located

on the measuring spoon (see figure 21).

When replacing, do not overtighten. Do not attempt this while steam nozzle is

hot.

Page 14

Under normal conditions you do not need to

decalcify your “Espresso Vivo”. However, in

areas where there is hard water or if you use your machine very frequently we recommend decalcifying. You will know

when such a cleaning is necessary by an

obvious slow down in the brewing time.

Decalcifier

is widely available and can be purchased through KRUPS Consumer Service Department.

How To Decalcify

Before beginning, it is necessary to remove the strainer from the brewing head (see figure 23).

This can be done using a flat head screw

driver. Remove the water reservoir and fill it with

luke warm water. Dissolve the decalcifying solution into the water reservoir. Replace

the water reservoir.

Place a cup underneath the brewing spout.

Set the pump switch to the L! position. Stop between each cup and empty it as it

becomes full. Proceed with this until all of the water has run through the machine. Allow the appliance to cool for lo-15 minutes when done.

To eliminate traces of the decalcifying solution, fill the water reservoir with fresh, cold water.

Continue this process until there is no more water in the reservoir.

Problem:

Coffee leaking from filter holder.

Cause:

Filter holder not properly inserted in the

machine.

Filter holder not pushed in as far as it

will go.

No elasticity in the brewing head seal. (This may happen after a long period of use). This part can be ordered through KRUPS Consumer Service Department.

If the seal has lost its elasticity, it must be replaced with a new one. Allow the appliance to cool down and then unscrew the sieve from the brewing head. Remove the seal carefully from the brewing head using a screw driver.

Place the new seal onto the machine and then place the flattened side of the sieve back into brewing head.

Problem:

Pump makes loud noise. Cause:

No water in the water reservoir.

Old or dry coffee is being used, water

cannot properly flow through the coffee.

Problem:

Coffee does not come out of filter holder. Cause:

No water in the water reservoir.

Water reservoir not inserted correctly.

Filter blocked because the coffee mixture

is too fine or has been tamped too hard.

Machine needs to be decalcified.

Problem:

Espresso has no “Crema”.

Cause:

Old or dried out coffee being used.

Coffee not suitable for espresso.

Coffee ground too coarsely.

Too little coffee in the filter or not

properly tamped.

Problem:

Not enough froth when frothing milk.

Cause:

Steam nozzle is clogged.

Milk is not fresh.

Page 15

The pitcher that you are using is not

suitab1e.M

is recommended that you use a stainless steel frothing pitcher.) Cold conducts better to metal than to glass or plastic.

The type of milk is not suitable. We recommend using 2% or skim milk. Whole milk is acceptable, but due to the fat molecules, it will not have as dense a froth, as if you were to use 2% or skim

milk.
