Setting the Time

1. Plug in the Krups "ProAroma Time". Make
sure that the coffee maker is turned off

(the red light should not be illuminated).

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

3. Press the "time" button - (n) on the

selector panel. Press the "auto" button ~

(q) and advance to the proper hour.

Press the "on/off" button ~ (p) and

advance to set the precise minutes.
The AM or PM indicator will be illuminated

and should you pass the time you wish to

set, just hold in the "auto" button ~ (q)

until desired time is reached.

4. To lock in the time, simply press the "time"

button.. (n) again (Note: the time will
automatically set in after 4 seconds). The
flashing dots in the LCD display will confirm
that the time has been properly set.

Preparing Coffee

Before making your first pot of delicious
coffee, we recommend operating the coffee

maker once or twice with water only,
without ground coffee or a paper filter to
remove any possible dust.

. Be sure that the water container is empty.

Remove literature, etc. if inserted in the
water container.

. The lid of the glass carafe must be

properly positioned during the brewing
process. Position the lid over the carafe

and snap the rectangular piece onto the

handle. The lid is then locked in place.

"

'r

.Make sure that the swing away filter (c)

is properly closed during the brewing
process. When closing the swivel filter
you willfeel a noticeable resistance

between the swivel filter and the base.

Push infirmlyuntil you hearthe filter

"click" into place.

. Caution: If the swivel filter is not

completely closed, the "Stop'n Serve"
trigger will not function properly, which
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
properly closed.

Filling the Water Chamber

Openthehingedlid(seefigure.):

Pour in the desired quantity of water (see

figure"). The water level indicator shows

you how much water you are filling 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, put in a little
more water to begin with so that you will
have the number of cups you desire.

Replace the carafe on the warming plate

with the glass carafe lid in position.

Putting in the Ground Coffee

To open the swing away filter holder, move
the release button (b) to the right to swing

the filterout (see figure.). Insert a paper
filter (we recommend KRUPS size 4) with

the seam pointing towards the handle of
the filter holder (see figure.).

Instead of filter paper you can also use the
KRUPS goldtone filter (model #053). (When
ordering filter paper or the goldtone filter
from KRUPS be sure to indicate that they
are for model #314).

Put ground coffee into the paper filter (see
figure.). 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 measure
to suit your own taste.

Close the swivel filter and make sure that it

is completely closed (see figure.) .

& Attention!

Make sure th,pt the filter paper does not tip
over when ctosing the swivel filter, or else
the water might run between the filter

paper and the filter holder producing a
very weak cup of coffee.

Aroma Selector Button

The "aroma" button provides you complete

control over brewing strength and brewing

cycles, to suit you personal taste.

Press the "aroma" button.. (k). The

current aroma setting will appear in the

LCD display. Press the "aroma" button (k)

again to display the next aroma selection,

and so on.

There are three selections from which to

choose:

& Note!

Once you press the carafe pre-warm

button, the function is stored in memory.
The next time you make coffee, the carafe
will automatically be pre-warmed.

Thefunction can be cancelled by pressing
the carafe pre-warm button during the pre-
warm stage. The light will then remain solid

red. Carafe pre-warming is automatically

cancelled in the event of a power shortage

or removal of plug.

Aroma Savor Lid

Approximately 4 seconds after you have
made your aroma selection, the time will
reappear in the display window. Please

note that the last-selected aroma setting

will remain in memory until manually

changed to a different selection.

To begin the brewing process, press the

"ON/OFF" button ~ (p). The indicator light

will illuminate, indicating the brewing
process has begun (see figure.).

Carafe Pre-Warming Cycle

This feature allows you to pre-warm the

carafe before the brewing process begins.
Follow the steps in "Filling the Water
Chamber" and "Putting in the Ground

Coffee" .
To start the process, select the coffee

strength you desire using the "aroma"
button.. (k). Within 6 seconds, press the
carafe pre-warm button Ii (j). The display

will say "on". Pressthe

indicator light will flash, indicating that you
have chosen to pre-warm the carafe. Pre-

heating takes approximately 5 minutes,
after which the brewing process will
automatically begin. Once the carafe is

pre-heated, the indicator light will stop
flashing, but remain solid red.

Oii! button (p). The

When the brewing cycle is complete, the
last drop to leave the filter seals the opening
within the lid of the carafe. When pouring,
the stream of coffee forms a seal on the

carafe lid so the remaining coffee is in an
airtight container. This reduces evaporation
and heat loss, and protects the aroma and

freshness of the coffee.

"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 being reinserted to allow
the serving of one or two cups of coffee.
The "Stop'n Serve" device closes off the
filter cone so effectively that there is

virtuany no coffee-drip onto the warming

plate (one drop, at most!).
Once the carafe is replaced, the brewing
cycle and the flow of the coffee into the

carafe are resumed.

8

'1

& Caution

If the coffee does drip onto the warming
plate after removal of the carafe, it is
usually an indication that the small seal in
the filter holder is missing or defective. It is
also possible 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.
This overflow carries coffee grounds with it

that interfere with the snap-shot 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.

Setting "Wake-Up" Time

This feature enables you to enjoy freshly
brewed coffee at any pre-selected time
within a 24-hour period. To use this feature,
you must first set the digital clock (see
Setting the Time):

1. Press the "prog" button.. (0). The
display will change from the current
clock setting to "Wake-Up" setting The

~ symbol will appear in the display

water and mild liquid soap. These parts
can also be placed in the upper level of
your dishwasher for safe effective
cleaning.

. Never use scouring agents.
. Never immerse the appliance itself in the

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

. Never use a cloth to clean the inside of

the water chamber, as this might leave
fuzzy deposits inthe chamber. Just rinse
with cold water, periodically.

Decalcifying

Although your KRUPS coffee maker has the

most advanced water heating and
pumping system, it will periodically need
cleaning with a decalcifying agent

.This is due to the calcium (limestone)

found in drinking water,

10

"

. In some areas where the water is hard,

you will need to decalcify more frequently
than in areas with soft water.

. It will also depend upon how often you

use your coffee maker.
An automatic sensor has been built into your
ProAroma Time which will indicate when your
coffee maker needs decalcifying by dis-
playing the message "CALC". This sensor is
extremely sensitive and the "CALC" message
may appear briefly in the display under

certain circumstances. This is of no
importance, however, and should be

ignored. Decalcification is necessary only
when "CALC" appears repeatedly or
permanently in the display.The "CALC"
display will remain visible until the "on/off"
key is pressed. You should now decalcify the
coffeemaker. We recommend using KRUPS
original decalcifying agent for cleaning your

KRUPS coffeemaker. When used in accor-
dance with the following instructions, it will

prolong the life of your coffeemaker.

How to decalcify

Dissolve contents of decalcifier in two cups
of cold tap water. Pour solution into the
water tank, then place the empty carafe.

and filterbasket in place. Press the "aroma"

button. Nowselect the "1-3" cup setting.

Press the "on/off" key. Allow the

decalcifying solution to completely run

through one cycle. Repeat this two orthree

times with cold liquid.

Rinse by cycling clean water through
twice, pausing and turning the

coffeemaker "off" for a few minutes in

between each rinse ses;sion.

& Caution

KRUPS decalcifying agent is a citric acid

which is harmless. However, we recommend

keeping it out of the reach of children.

Do not take internally. If swallowed
accidently, drink several glasses of water or
milk and consult your doctor.

For best results ...

...always use fresh, cold water (warm water

might be stale and have mineral deposits which
would Impair the flavor of the coffee).

..,we recommend that you grind your own
beans. Freshly ground beans deliver more
aroma and flavor. Use one KRUPS measuring
spoon of beans per cup.

... serve coffee immediately after brewing.
... never reheat coffee.

Hidden Cord Storage

The power cord can be tailored to the

length required by utilising the hidden cord

storage located underneath the coffee

maker (see figure.).
