get familiar with all the parts
of your “IL
Gaffe
Bistro”
before operating the
machine.
Wrth
the unit
unplugged, begin by inserting the filter basket (9 into
the filter holder (e), fit the
filter holder(e) into the
brewing head, and remove
and replace the boiler cap
(a). Turn the selector switch
(b) to the three different
positions, and check out all
parts of the coffeemaker as
well. Wash all loose parts in
warm, soapy water, rinse
thoroughly and dry.
It is also recommended
that you operate your
“IL
Cat%
Bistro” once
without coffee using the
instructions provided for
espresso and coffee
making.
CAUTION - PRESSURE
It is important to remem-
ber to
NEVER
open the
boiler cap (a) or remove
the filter holder (e) while
your “IL
Caff6
Bistro”
turnad
“On”, or as long as
them is pressure in the
boiler.
Please follow the instruc-
tions listed below to see if
the machine is still under
pressure. These safety precautions should be followed
while your machine is in

minutes after last use of the
machine.
5.
6.
Turn the selector switch
to the
“0”
position.
Unplug the machine.
Hold a pitcher with cold
water underneath the
steam nozzle and insert
nozzle into the pitcher.
Once the steam nozzle
is immersed in the
pitcher of water,
turn
the
selector switch to the
“@
position. Continue
this procedure until no
more steam comes out
of the steam nozzle.
Turn the selector switch
to the
“0”
position.
Now you can remove
the boiler cap and filter
holder.
In case there is still water in
the boiler chamber, remove
the glass carafe and drip
tray, and turn the machine
upside down to empty any
remaining water in the
chamber.
GENUINE ESPRESSO
Espresso is a far richer and
stronger brew than regular
coffee. It should be deep,
dark and delicious. Most
people find that they enjoy
it in small quantities because
of its richness, and for that
reason, espresso is usually
served in small
(2-2X! 02)
demitasse cups.
Your “IL
Gaffe
Bistro”,
properly used, will always
produce espresso that is
deep, dark and delicious.
Just follow the instructions
and use fresh, well-roasted,
preground espresso or
espresso beans you grind
yourself. Remember:
Espresso requires a finer
grind than regular coffee.
Making Espresso
Place your “IL
Gaffe
Bistro” near an electrical
outlet, then plug in the
machine.
Make sure the selector
switch (b) is in the
“0”
(off) position.
Place your filter basket
(9
into the filter holder(e)
(see figure 1). The basket
is marked on the inside
indicating 2 or 4 cups.
Fill to the desired level.
Pill the filter basket with
ground espresso coffee
(see figure 2). Pack the
coffee lightly and clear
any excess coffee from
the rim of the filter holder.
This will ensure the filter
holder will fit properly
into the brewing head.
AllENTlON
Do Not Pack Coffee Tightly.
Do Not Fill More Coffee
Than indicated By The
~-CUP
Marking.
This might cause clogging
or overflow (see section
Problems & Causes).
4. To insert the filter holder,
line up the arrow
located on the thumb
guard of the filter holder
with the arrow on the
left side of the machine.
Raise the filter holder up
into brewing head and
turn the filter holder
firmly to the right, until it
can go no further.
The arrow on the filter
holder should be as far
right in the lock range as
possible. If the arrow is
not at least in the middle
of the lock range, do not
operate the machine.
Rather, remove the filter
holder and reinsert it as
described above until
the arrow is within the
lock range (see figure 3).
By
following this
procedure
this will
prevent the
filter holder
from being
dislodged as
pWsuBbuildsupduling
the
brewing
process.
5.
Unscrew the boiler cap
(a) by turning it counter
clockwise (see figure 4).
6. Using the glass carafe,
fill the boiler chamber
with fresh, cold water
(see figure 5).
Measuring Guidelines
The
glass carafe (i) has
markings for 2 cups and
4 cups and steaming.
2 cups of water yields
2 cups of espresso.
3 cups of water yields
2 cups espresso, plus
steam for frothing milk for
cappuccino.
4 cups of water yields
4 cups espresso.
5-5X
cups of water yields
4 cups of espresso, plus
steam for frothing milk for
CappUCCinO. 5-5’h
cups Of
water is the upper rim of
the metal band surrounding
the carafe.
CAUTION
Never fill the boiler chamber while your “IL
Gaffe
Bistro” is in the

over them.
To make more espresso,
proceed as follows:
Check to see if the boiler
chamber is empty and
not under pressure (see
section CAUTION
-
PRESSURE).
Remove filter holder(e).

Repeat steps l-4 of this
section.
CAPPUCCINO
Cappuccino reportedly
takes its name from the
chocolate hues of the
robes
worn
by the
Capu-
chin monks who favored
this delicious dessert 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 cappuccino a world-
wide gourmet choice.
Preparation of Cappuccino
Note: If the Perfect Froth
attachment is not in place,
attach it now (see figure 12).
The first step in making
cappuccino is to make
espresso. Therefore, fill
the glass carafe with the
amount of water which
is required to make the
desired amount of
espresso, plus additional
water for frothing milk
(see section Making
Espresso).
Fill a small stainless
steel pitcher V3 to
l/z
full
with fresh, cold milk and
set aside.
To make espresso,
turn
the machine to the
“Q”
position. As soon as half
the required amount of
espresso is produced,
turn
the selector switch
to the
“0“
position. At
this time the boiler has
created enough pressure and steam to start
frothing milk Frothing
milk before finishing the
espresso prevents you
from running out of
steam. This will happen
if you froth milk towards
the end of the brewing
process.
To froth milk, take your
pitcher with fresh, cold
milk and insert steam
nozzle with perfect froth
attachment halfway into
the milk Then
turn
the
selector switch to the
“W
position. Leave in
for approximately 45-60
seconds depending on
how much froth you
want and the type of
milk you are using.
AlTENllON
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 as
this will prevent you from
frothing the milk
After the milk is frothed,
set aside and allow it to
settle.
Turn
the three way
selector switch back to
the
-0”
position to
finish making the
espresso.
Four the espresso into
a cup which has a
capacity of at least
5 ounces. Add the
steamed milk to the
espresso and spoon on
the frothed milk The
proportion between
espresso and milk is to
taste; in Italy it is normally
1 part espresso to
2 parts milk plus froth.
Steam Only
If you only want to froth
milk, fill the glass carafe
with water up to the
‘WY
mark This will give you
approximately one minute
of steaming.
1.
I
2.
I
3.
Pour the water into the
water chamber and turn
the selector switch to
the “W’ position.
Place a cup under the
steam nozzle to collect
any water which may
escape. As soon as
you start seeing steam,
move the selector switch
to the
“0”
position.
Now follow steps 2-7
and when finished
frothing the milk return
to
“0”
position.
AlTENTION
The top closure of the
Perfect Froth attachment
(see figure 14, 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.
CLEANING
Before cleaning,
turn
“off
the machine, unplug it, and
allow it to cool down.
The filter holder, fitter
basket, carafe, carafe lid,
and
overffow
grid can be
put in the dishwashers
upper rack, away from the
heating/drying element.
The machine can be wiped
clean by using a damp
cloth. Never immerse the
body of your “IL
Gaffe
Bistro” in water or any
other liquid. Clean the
brewing head with a damp
cloth and remove ground
coffee. If there is water left
in the boiler chamber, let
the machine cool down,
remove all loose parts and
empty through the top
opening by turning upside
down.
Cleaning The Steam
Nozzle
Clean the steam nozzle
each time after you have
immersed it in the milk,
otherwise the inside of the
nozzle becomes clogged
and the milk deposits on
the outside harden and
become difficult to remove.
If clogging does occur,
unscrew the tip of the
steam
nozzle
(see figure
15). Remove all milk
pat-tides using a sewing
needle and rinse under the
faucet. Replace nozzle tip
making sure to screw it on
tightly.
Immediately after you are
done frothing milk, wipe off
the outside of the nozzle
with a wet cloth. Hold the
wet cloth very close to the
tip of the nozzle and
turn
the selector switch to the
“W.
Let the steam escape
into the wet cloth for one or
two seconds. Any milk
residue will then be flushed
out. Then return to the
“0”
position.
Cleaning The Perfect
Froth
Attachment
For a thorough cleaning of
the “Perfect Froth” attachment, remove part C (see
figure 14). All parts should
be rinsed in warm water. If
the small suction opening in
part A is clogged up, it can
be opened with a straight
pin or a straightened paper
clip.
Cleaning The Drip Tray
The overflow grid can be
cleaned by removing the
grid (see figure 16).
CAlJTlON
DO NOT try to open or
disassemble the main body
of the machine.
DECAKWYING OF THE
ESPRESSO MACHINE
The espresso machine must
be decalcified
regularfy.
The
frequency depends on the
hardness of your water and
how often you use the
espresso machine.
Before descaling, the
brewing sieve on the
brewing head MUST first be
screwed off.
Remove all lime and
coffee residues from the
brewing sieve and the
brewing head.
Pull off the “Perfect
Froth” attachment.
For ecological and health
reasons, we recommend the
exclusive use of biological
materials such as citric acid,
which can be obtained from
KRUPS Consumer Service
Department or drugstores.

Put one receptacle
under the brewing head
and another under the
steam nozzle
(Note:
Do
not use the filter holder
during decalcification).
Turn
the selector switch
to steam position “Wand
wait until steam comes
out of the steam nozzle.
Let steam run for
approximately 30
seconds.
Then
turn
the selector
switch to espresso posi-
tion
‘IIE”
and allow the
descaling solution to
pass through the brewing
head.
After each brewing cycle,
switch off the appliance
and allow the appliance
to cool down.
Repeat this operation
once again.
Following this, allow 2 boiler
containerfuls of clear water
to run through the system.
Switch off the appliance.
Allow the appliance to cool
down. Insert the brewing
sieve into the brewing head
again and push the “Perfect
Froth” onto the steam nozzle.

PREPARING COFFEE
Before making your first pot
of delicious coffee, we
recommend rinsing the
coffee maker once or twice
with water only, without
ground coffee in the filter
basket. This will remove any
possible dust which may
have settled during
shipping,
Be sure that the water
chamber is empty. Remove
any literature, etc if found in
the water chamber.

the lid has to be pushed
down so that it engages
with the handle of the
glass carafe.
To release the lid 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 a noticeable
resistance when the
handle of the swivel filter
is approximately
l/z
inch
away from the nonremovable side piece.
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. 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 the glass carafe is
in place (see
Stop’N
Serve section).
Putting in The Ground
coffee
1.
Swing out the swivel filter
(C) (see figure 2) and

2.
insert a paper filter. We
recommend using
KRUPS size 4. When
inserting a paper filter
make sure the seam is
pointing towards the
handle of the filter
holder (see figure 3).
Use your hands to conform the filter to the
contours of the filter
holder. This will enable
you to achieve better
results.
If you prefer a more permanent filter, the
KRUPS “Gold Tone“
filter # OS3 is available
as an accessory. This
may be purchased from
your local retailer or call
the KRUPS Consumer
Service department.
Put ground coffee into
the filter holder (see
figure 4). 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 quantity to
suit your own taste.
We do not recommend
using coffee that is
ground to a powder-like
consistency, as this will
prevent water from passing through the coffee.
Close the swivel filter
and make sure that it is
completely closed (see
figure 5).

Make sure that the filter
paper does not fold over
when closing the swivel
filter. Otherwise the
water might run between the filter paper
and the filter holder pro-
ducing a very weak cup
of coffee.
filling The Water Chamber
1.
Open the hinged water
chamber lid (see figure
6). Pour in the desired
quantity of water (see
figure 7).
0
The amount of freshly
brewed coffee delivered
after the brewing
process will always be
slightly less than the
amount put into the
water chamber. 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.
2. Place the glass carafe
with lid in position on
the warming plate.
3. Turn “on” your “IL

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 it being reinserted back
onto the warming plate.
The
Stop’N
Serve device
closes off the filter cone so
effectively that there is
virtually no coffeedrip onto
the warming plate. Once
the carafe is replaced, the
brewing process and the
flow of coffee into the
carafe can be resumed.
CAUTION
If the coffee DOES drip
onto the warming plate
after the 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 call the
KRUPS
Consumer Service Department at
1600-526-5377.
It is also possible that too
much ground coffee has
been placed in the filter
paper. This causes the
water that jets into the filter
cone to overflow between
the filter and the sides of
the filter cone.
If this blockage and
subsequent dripping does
occur, put the glass carafe
immediately back onto the
warming plate, and allow the
full brewing cycle to run its
course. Do not swing out the
swivel filter until the brewing
process is completed.
POWER FAILURE
BACK-UP
In case of a power surge/
and or failure, an electronic
device will keep all functions stored up to 6
seconds.
During such an interruption,
the display panel and all the
indicator lights will go out.
When the power returns,
the indicator lights will
illuminate and the display
panel will show the correct
time.
If the power failure lasts
more than 6 seconds, the
machine will switch “off
completely. When power
returns, both the clock time
and the pre-programmed
time will flash. In this case,
the clock time and all the
functions must be reset.

DECAICIMNG
OF THE
CGFFEEMAKER
The coffeemaker must be
decalcified regularly. The
frequency depends on the
hardness of your water and
how often you use the
coffeemaker.
Recognizable indications
that descaling is necessary
are:
-
increased noise during
boiling
-
longer preparation time.
If usage is frequent,
descaling should be carried
out as follows:
-
with soft water once
a year
-
with medium hard water
every quarter year
-
with hard water once
a month.
In doubt regarding the water
hardness in your area, you
may call your local water
department.
For ecological and health
reasons, we recommend
the exclusive use of
biological materials such as
citric acid, which can be
obtained from KRUPS
Consumer Service
Department or drugstores.
Dissolve 2 tablespoonfuls of
citric acid in
l/2
quart water
and pour into the water
container. Run this through
2 or 3 times as if making
coffee, but using no ground
coffee. The hot descaling
solution must be allowed to
cool down before being
poured into the water container. Finally do the same
twice using clear water.
