PREPARING COFFEE

Before making your first pot of
delicIous coffee, we recom-

mend operating the coffee-
maker once or tWicewith water

only, without ground coffee or
a paper filter to remove any
possible dust.

e.Setthehour

(Seefiguref.)).

. Besure that the water

container ISempty. Remove
literature, etc. If Inserted In

the water container.

.The lid of the glass carafe

must be properly positioned
dUring the brewing pro-

cess. Position the lid over

the carafe and snap the

rectangular piece onto the
handle. The lid ISthen

locked In place.

. Make sure that the sWivel

filter IS.properly closed
during the brewing pro-
cess. When closing the
sWivel filter you will feel a

noticeable resistance
when the handle of the
sWivel filter 15approxima-
tely '/2 Inch away from the

non-removable base. Push
In firmly until the handle

touches the side of the
coffeemaker.

. Caution: If the sWivel filter

ISnot completely closed,
the "Stop'n Serve" trigger
will not function properly,
which may cause hot water

or hot coffee to overflow.

nght (see figure 0). Insert a pa-
per filter (we recommend
KRUPS size 4) with the seam
pOinting towards the handle of
the filter holder (see figure 0).

We suggest uSing one level
KRUPS measunng scoop of
ground coffee for each cup of
robust coffee (see figure 0).
After uSing your KRUPS
coffeemaker several times you
can adjust the measure to suit
your own taste.

Close the sWivel filter (see
figure 0) and make sure that it
IS completely closed.

Attention: Make sure that the
filter paper does not tip over

when closing the sWivel filter. If
this happens, the water might
run between the filter paper
and the filter holder producing
a very weak cup of coffee.

Turn the selector switch to the
"on" position. The red Indicator
light In the switch will illuminate,
Indicating that the brewing pro-

cess has begun (see figure Cli».

"STOP'N SERVE" FEATURE

The "Stop'n Serve" feature IS

KRUPS' answer to the Impati-
ent coffee dnnker's clamor for

"a qUick cup of coffee!" This

dEwlce automatically stops the
flow of brewed coffee through
the filter cone if the glass cara-

fe IS removed from the warm-

Ing plate dunng the brewing

cycle. You have about 20 sec

onds between the removal of

the carafe and Its being reins-

erted 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 ISvirtually no coffee-

dnp onto the warming plate

(one drop, at most!), Once the

carafe ISreplaced, the brewing

cycle and the flow of coffee

Into the carafe are resumed.

CAUTION

Ifcoffee does dnp onto the

warming plate after removal of
the carafe, it IS usually an In-
diction that too much ground
cotfee 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 carnes
coffee grounds that Interfere

with the snap-shut action of
the filter holder, thus allowing

brewed coffee to continue to
dnp through. If this blockage

and subsequent dnpplng do
occur, replace the glass
carafe Immediately and allow
the full brewing cycle to run
its course. Do not swmg out
the sWIVel filter until the

brewing cycle IS completed.

SETTING "WAKE.UP" TIME

DECALCIFYING

Although your KRUPS coffee-

maker has the most advanced

water heating and pumping

system, it will penodically need
cleaning with a decalcifying
agent.

.This ISdue to the calcium

(limestone) found In drinking
water.

. In some areas where the

waterIShard,youwillneed

to decalcify morefrequently
than In areaswith softwater.

. Itwillalso depend upon how

often you use your coffee-

maker.

WHEN TO DECALCIFY
You will know when such a

cleaning IS necessary by an
obvIous slowdown In the

brewing time of your coffee.

This extended time Indicates
that there IS a calcium deposit
