Advantages of the Aroma Control coffee maker

Exclusive Flavor Release Technology

Releases the full aroma of the coffee through a new brewing innovation:

• At the beginning of the brewing cycle, the

Flavor Release mechanism remains closed so as to keep the hot water in contact with the ground coffee for a longer period of time and thus obtain the maximum flavor from your coffee.

• After about 1 - 2 minutes of brewing, the

coffee is released and flows into the coffee carafe.

The KRUPS exclusive Flavor Release Technology guarantees optimal contact between water and ground coffee and the ideal time for brewing, particularly for small quantities.

Thanks to the KRUPS exclusive technology, your coffee will have a fuller, richer aroma and a delicious taste.

The ‘DuoFilter’ a double action antichlorine and anti-scale filter

The elements which go into the ‘DuoFilter’ (active vegetable based carbon and anti-scale resin) comply with current food safety legislation. Its silver salt processing acts as an anti-bacteria agent, for consumer safety. This filter has been tested successfully by recognized laboratories.

The vegetable-based and non-pollutive filter can be disposed of as domestic waste

The anti-chlorine action of the filter will give the coffee more delicate flavor. Tap-water often contains amounts of chlorine which will hinder the flavor. The ‘Duo Filter’ eliminates the chlorine so that the smell and taste of the coffee are more perceptible.

The anti-scale filter will prolong the working life of your coffee-machine and will result in less frequent need to decalcify.

‘Stop ‘n Serve’ Feature

Lets you pour a cup or two while brewing. The automatic filter seal will allow you to remove the carafe for 20 seconds without dripping coffee onto the warming plate.

The glass coffee carafe can also be used in a microwave oven

Note : KRUPS AromaControl will shut off automatically after 2 hours of heating for added safety.

Before first use

Setting the time (model #180)

• Plug in the KRUPS “AromaControl Time”. Make sure the rotating selector switch (n) is in the “off” position.

The LCD display will be flashing intermittently. This is your signal to set the digital clock.

• Turn the selector switch to position Set the hours and minutes by pressing the “h” and “min” buttons respectively. The time is now set.

Running with water only

• Before first use, cycle the appliance once or

(n).

twice with water (without coffee) to help remove any factory sediment.

• Open the lid (1).

• Fill the water tank with cold water (2), observing the water level indicator (3).

The water level indicator on your coffee carafe corresponds to the water level indicator of the water tank, measured in cups of water (3).

• Close the lid.

• Set the control to the ‘on’ position to begin (position (i) for the #176, position (n) for the #180). The light will come on.

Please note: your AromaControl coffee maker is fitted with a Flavor Release filter holder (exclusive to KRUPS).

Remember: After about 1 - 2 minutes of brewing, the filter holder allows the water to flow into the coffee carafe. This steeping period allows for maximum flavor extraction from your coffee.

Inserting the “DuoFilter”

• Remove the DuoFilter (e) from its plastic bag. Rinse in tap water.

• Open the hinged lid of the coffee maker (1) and remove the DuoFilter holder (e1) (4).

• Pivot the lower part of the holder and insert the DuoFilter into its housing (5).

• Replace the holder in the coffee maker and your machine is now ready for use (6).

Please note : A ring is on the top of the holder to help you to remember when to change the «DuoFilter» (e) :

. place the upper part of the ring on the figure

indicating which month you started using the DuoFilter.

. the lower part of the ring will show you

when you have to change it.

Example : If the upper part is on 1 (January), you will have to change it in 3 (March).

Preparing Coffee

Filling the water chamber

• Open the hinged lid (1). Using the glass carafe, pour in the desired quantity of cold

water (2). The water level indicator shows how much water you are filling into the container (3).

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 minimum absorption of the water by the ground coffee. Therefore, it is recommended that you add a little extra water at the beginning so that you will have the number of cups you desire.

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

Putting in the ground coffee

• Swing out the filter holder container (7).

• Insert a no. 4 filter paper (1X4) or Gold Tone Filter in the filter holder. We recommend that you fold over the edges of the filter paper (8) to make it easier to insert.

You can purchase KRUPS size 4 paper filters (#983) or KRUPS Aroma Control Gold Tone Filter (#049) at your local KRUPS retailer or by calling the KRUPS Consumer Service Department at 1-800-526-5377, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (US customers only).

• Pour your ground coffee into the filter paper (9).

We suggest using one level KRUPS measuring scoop of ground cofee for each cup of robust coffee. After using your KRUPS coffee maker several times, you can adjust the measure to suit your own taste.

• Close the filter holder container, check that it is correctly engaged (10) and place the carafe with its cover on the warming plate.

• Turn the machine ‘on’.

The indicator light will illuminate and your coffee will begin brewing after 1-2 minutes.

“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
