Appropriate Usage

The KRUPS Orchestro; model 889 is to be used only for the preparation of espresso or coffee, the frothing-up of milk and the preparation of hot water. No responsibility can be undertaken for eventual damages arising from using the appliance for improper purposes, from incorrect handling and operation, or due to inexpert repairs. Service guarantees also become void under such circumstances. This household appliance is not intended for commercial use.

Espresso and Coffee

There is a whole string of ways in which you can obtain your espresso or coffee, so that it meets your own individual requirements:

■ try out the various sorts of coffee available — the degrees of roasting are very different.

■ vary the degree of grinding the beans, to find the optimum for your taste.

■ select one or other of the three coffeemeal quantities (

;

or ).

■ fill the cups to a greater or lesser degree. Should you fancy drinking a completely different coffee, then use an already-ground

proprietary coffee meal, which might be decaffeinated, for instance.

Before first use

■ Remove the protective foil from the base grid.

■ Remove the strip of paper from the filling funnel of the coffee-beans container.

Determining the hardness of the water

Before using for the first time or after a change in the hardness of the water, it is necessary to adjust the appliance to the appropriate degree of hardness. You can either find out the water hardness by asking the local water authority or you can determine it by using the test piece in stick form supplied with the appliance.

Immerse the test stick in cold water for one second. Shake off the surplus water and determine the hardness by observing the pink-coloured area.

Setting the Grinder

You can vary the coarseness of the grinding. A finer setting is usually preferable for lightlyroasted beans and a coarser one for those which are strongly roasted.

Appliances are sent out from the factory with a medium setting.

■ Set the desired degree of coarseness (13). Clockwise = coarser grains Anticlockwise = finer grains

Caution! The setting is to be varied only during the grinding operation.

Setting the cup-filling quantity

You can determine the amount of espresso or coffee to be filled into the cups by using the cupfill regulator knob (14).

Setting = a small espresso or coffee. Setting = a large espresso or coffee.

■ Turn the knob to the desired position before preparing espresso or coffee.

Note: The knob can also be used to vary the fill-amount during the actual preparation of espresso or coffee.

If you want to set the quantity of espresso or coffee for a particular size of cup, then turn the cup-fill knob before the operation to the position and then prepare the espresso or coffee.

When the cup is sufficiently full, turn the knob in the direction until the flow of liquid stops.

The quantity for two cups is always automatically twice as much as for one cup.

Preparation of espresso and coffee

Using coffee beans

You have already prepared the appliance. When the rinsing process is finished, the following lamps will glow: “rinse”; “1 cup normal”; “1 cup strong”; “2 cups”; “coffee-meal”.

■ Place one or two cups beneath the espresso delivery pipe. You can raise or lower the delivery pipe to suit the size of your cups (15).

■ Select the desired or or key (15).

The mill will grind the required amount of coffeemeal. (Remember that you can change the degree of coarseness during the actual grinding).

Following this, the coffee-meal will be moistened with a little water for the prebrew. After a short pause, the proper brewing operation will be carried out.

Note: If you press the key, you will obtain one cup of strong espresso or coffee. The simultaneous preparation of two cups of strong espresso or coffee is not possible.

If you accidentally actuate the key, you can cancel the action by pressing the or the key. Place a receptacle beneath the espresso delivery pipe, however, as a little water will run out.

Using ready-ground coffee-meal

You have already prepared the appliance. When the rinsing process is finished, the following lamps will glow: “rinse”; “1 cup normal”; “1 cup strong”; “2 cups”; “coffee-meal”.

■ Open the lid of the coffee feed funnel and put in one or two level measuring spoonfuls of espresso- or coffee-meal (16).

■ Press the key (17a). The “coffee-meal” indicator will blink and the “1 cup normal” and “2 cups” indicators will glow.

Breaking off the brewing process

If you wish to break off the brewing process before it is completed, actuate any one of the following keys: , , , or .

The process then will be stopped and the spent coffee automatically thrown out.

Emptying the spent coffee holder and the drawer

The spent coffee holder receives the used coffee-meal and the drawer takes up any remaining water.

■ If the “empty spent coffee holder” indicator glows, raise the drawer slightly and then pull it out (18). Empty both the spent coffee holder and the drawer.

The “empty spent coffee holder” indicator will blink if the drawer is either not inserted or if it is not correctly located.

Note: Whilst the “empty spent coffee holder” indicator is glowing or blinking, it is

not possible to prepare espresso or coffee.

■ Empty the drawer when the drawer-float has risen to the mark (19).

Note: When you remove the drawer together with the spent coffee holder from the appliance before the “coffee grounds holder” indicator begins to glow, always empty the spent coffee holder, as the next indicator otherwise follows too late and the holder could overflow.

Preparation of steam

Steam can be used for frothing up milk for cappuccino and also for the heating of liquids. Since the production of steam requires a higher temperature than that for the preparation of espresso, the appliance is furnished

with an additional pre-heating phase for steam.

■ Press the steam pre-selector key for about one second (20), whereupon the “steam” indicator will blink.

When the preheating phase is completed, the “steam” indicator will glow and you can commence the production of steam.

appliance

indicator(s)

Due to the nature of the system, a little water will run out of the steam nozzle before each time steam is produced. Proceed therefore as follows:

■ Place a separate receptacle beneath the steam nozzle and turn the selector knob for steam/hot water to the position (21).

■ As soon as steam issues from the nozzle, turn the selector knob back to the position and remove the receptacle.

Frothing up milk for cappuccino

A cappuccino consists of 1/3 each of espresso, milk and milk-froth. Fill a large cup 1/3 with espresso. Then froth up the milk for the cappuccino. Use the separate frothing aid to achieve the optimum result.

■ Push the frothing aid onto the steam nozzle. Note: Use the frothing aid only for the frothing-up of milk.

■ Pour about 100 ml of low-fat milk into a small, narrow jug of not more than

0.5 litre capacity which will fit below the steam nozzle of the appliance. Note: The milk should be well-cooled and the jug used should also be

cold, so do not rinse it first in warm water.

■ Hold the jug under the frothing aid in such a way, that the nozzle section dips completely into the milk.

■ Turn the selector knob for steam/hot water to the position (22).

Hold the jug steady during the frothing operation and do not allow the nozzle to touch the bottom of the jug, so as not to impede the outflow of steam.

■ After the frothing operation, turn the knob for steam/hot water to the position and remove the receptacle. Then add the milk and the milkfroth to the espresso.

■ Clean the frothing aid and the steam nozzle with a moist cloth immediately after the frothing operation is finished.

■ To remove any eventual residue of milk from the steam nozzle, place a receptacle beneath the nozzle and turn the knob for steam/hot water to the

position for just a moment.

appliance

indicator(s)

Heating liquids

■ Pull off the frothing aid

■ Press the steam pre-selector key (23),

whereby the “steam” indicator will blink.

When the pre-heating is completed, the “steam” indicator will glow and you can commence the production of steam.

■ Hold the vessel containing the liquid under the steam nozzle and dip the nozzle into the liquid. Turn the selector knob for steam/hot water to the position (24).

■ When the liquid is sufficiently heated, turn the knob back to the position and remove the vessel.

■ Clean the steam nozzle with a moist cloth immediately after the heating operation is finished.

■ To remove any eventual residues from the steam nozzle, place a receptacle beneath the nozzle and turn the knob for steam/hot water to the position for just a moment.

Concluding the production of steam

The preparedness of the appliance to produce steam can be cancelled in 2 different ways:

1. ■ After steam has been produced, turn the selector knob for steam/hot water to the position. After about 10 minutes, the appliance will automatically cease to be ready for steam production and the “ON/OFF“and “steam“ indicators will blink.

2. If you want to prepare espresso or coffee immediately after producing

steam:

■ After the steam has been produced, turn the selector knob for steam/hot water to the position. Turn off the steam pre-selection by pressing the steam pre-selector key

, whereby the “ON/OFF“ and “steam“ indicators will blink.

In order to prepare espresso or coffee as usual, you must either cool down the appliance from the steam temperature to the espresso and coffee temperature, or fill the heating system.

■ Place a receptacle beneath the steam delivery pipe.

■ Turn the selector knob for steam/hot water to the position.

The outflow of water will be stopped automatically.

■ Return the selector knob for steam/hot water to the position, whereby the “ON/OFF“, “rinse“, “1 cup normal“, “1 cup strong“, “2 cups“and “coffee-meal“ indicators will glow. You can then prepare espresso or coffee as usual.

appliance

indicator(s)

Preparing hot water

With this appliance, you can prepare hot water for making instant drinks,etc.

■ Place a cup beneath the steam nozzle and turn the selector knob for steam/hot water to the position.

■ When the cup is sufficiently filled with hot water, return the selector knob to the position.

Switching off the appliance

■ Place a receptacle beneath the espresso delivery pipe and press the key. A rinsing operation will then be automatically carried out, after which the appliance will switch itself off.

Note: This rinsing operation will also be carried out when the pre-set automatic switch-off mechanism comes into play.

Cleaning and general care

■ Always pull out the mains plug before any cleaning operation and allow the appliance to cool down. Do not use any materials which scratch, scrape or corrode. Wipe the casing inside and outside with a moist cloth only.

■ Clean the drawer, drawer attachment, spent coffee holder and base grid with warm water and washing-up liquid (25).

■ Rinse out the water tank with fresh water.

■ Never put the appliance or any of its parts into

the dishwasher.

Caution! The steam nozzle can become very hot. Be careful not to burn or scald yourself. Never assemble or disassemble the steam nozzle whilst it is hot.

■ Clean the steam nozzle immediately after the milk-frothing operation by allowing the appliance to produce steam for 1-2 seconds, thus blowing any residue out of the nozzle. Then wipe down the nozzle with a moist cloth. If the nozzle has become blocked, clear it with a needle. Where necessary, the steam nozzle can be screwed out in an anticlockwise direction using the hexagonal key on the measuring spoon, after which it can be thoroughly cleaned (26). After cleaning, screw back the nozzle in a clockwise direction.
