PREPARING COFFEE'

Before making your first pot of
delicious coffee, we

recommend operating the
coffee maker once or twice

with w8ter only, without ground
coHee. Jra paper filter to
remov" any possible dust.

.Be s'lre that the water

conti ,Iner Is empty. Remove
liter!' ure, etc. If Inserted In
the \' ater container.

. The I'd of the glass carafe

musl be properly
posit ioned during the
brew'ng process. Position
the Ii -jover the carafe and
snap the rectangular piece

onto the handle. The lid Is
then 'ocked In place.

.Makl sure that the swivel

filter (b) Is properly closed
durll 9 the brewing

proc!ss. Whenclosing the

swivel filter you will feel a
noticeable resistance when
the handle of the swivel

Hlter Is approximately 1/2
Inch away from the non.
removable base. Push In

firmly until you hearthe ...

.Caution:If theswivelfilter

Filling, t.,.waterchamber

Open the hinged lid (see

figure. ).Using the glass

carafe, pour in the desired
quantity of water (see figure

.). The water level indicator

shows you how much water
you are pouring into the
container
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
minimal absorption of the
water by the ground coffee.
Therefore, it is recommended
that you add a little extra wate,
at the beginning so that you

will have the number of cups
you desire.

Replace the glass carafe on
the warming plate with the

glass carafe lid in position.

, Puffing In the ground coffee

Press release button (e) to the
right to open the swivel filter.

Swingout the filter to the left

(see figure.). Inserta papel

filter (we recommend KRUPS
size 4) with the seam pointing

towards the handle of the filter
holder (see figure. ).
Instead of filter paper. you car

also use the KRUPSGoidTOnE

Filter (model #053). (When
ordering filterpaper or the

We suggest using one level
KRUPSmeasuring scoop of
ground coffee for each cup of

robust coffee (see figure.).
After using your KRUPScoffee

maker several times you can
adjust the measure to suit your

own taste.
Close the swivelfilter(see

figure. ) and make sure that
it is completely closed.

Attention: Make sure that the
filterpaper does not tip over

when closing the swivelfilter.
Ifthis happens, the water might
run between the filterpaper
and the filterholder producing
very weak cup of coffee.

Place the glass carafe (c) with
the lid onto the warming plate

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 ifthe glass carafe is
removed from the warming
plate during the brewing cycle.

You have about 20 seconds
between the removal ofthe

carafe and its being reinserted
to allow the service of one or

two cups of coffee. The "Stop'n

Serve" device closes off the' .

filter cone so effectively that
there is virtually no coffee-drip
onto the warming plate (one

drop, at most!). ,

Once the carafe isreplaced,
the brewingcycleand the flow
or coffee intothe carafe are
resumed,

I.

' 'j '

~1[rt~:~!;~::iZ':"::';-'..~

Ifcoffee does drip onto the
warming plate after removal of
the carafe, it is usually an
indiction that too much ground
coffee has been placed into
the paper filter. This causes
the water that jets into the filter

cone to overflow between the
paper filter and the sides of

the filter cone. The overflow
carries coffee grounds that

interfere with the snap-shut
action of the filter holder~thus

allowing brewed coffee to
continue to drip through.

If this blockage and
subsequent dripping do
occur, replace the glass
carafe Immediately and

allow the full brewing cycle
to run Its course. Do not

swing out the swivel filter
until the brewing cycle Is
completed.

'

,

,;{~\~L.,~,;;i'~:,.,.;." .

When the brewing cycle is
complete" the last drop to

leave the filterseals the
opening withinthe lidof the
carafe. When pouring. the

stream ofthe coffee forms a
seal on the carafe lid so the

remaining coffee is in an
airtightcontainer. This
reduces evaporation and heat
loss. and protects the aroma
and freshness ofthe coffee.

<J.,,:~ ,': I' , :', '

. Alwaysunplug the coffee

maker before cleaning.

.Remqve the filterholder (see

figure. ) and clean the
filterholder, the carafe and
carafe lid ina solutionof hot

water and mild liquidsoap.
These parts can also be

placed inthe upper level of
your dishwasher for safe
effectivecleaning.

.Never use scouring agents.

.Never immerse the aPpliance

itself inwater or any other
liquid. To clean, simply wipe
off with a soft. damp cloth.

.Never use a cloth to clean

the inside ofthe water
chamber, as this might leave
fuzzydeposits inthe

chamber. Just rinse with
cold water, periodically.
