Important Safety
Precautions
■ The appliance is to be connected only to
an alternating current supply. The mains
supply voltage must correspond with that
shown on the type label on the appliance.
■ Never open the appliance while coffee is
running through, as the appliance is then
under pressure.
■ The glass jug is not suitable for use in
microwaves, above open fire or on stove
plates.
■ Do not refill the appliance whilst it is still
hot; it takes about ten minutes to cool
down.
■ Do not stand the appliance on hot
surfaces (such as the top of a stove) or
stand it or use it in the vicinity of a naked
gas flame.
■ If any fault is noticed during use, cleaning
or maintenance operation, the mains
plug must be pulled out.
■ Do not remove the plug from the socket
by pulling on the mains flex.
■ Do not let the mains flex hang over
corners or edges.
■ Ensure that neither the mains flex nor
you yourself touch any hot part of the
appliance.
■ Do not put the appliance into water.
■ Keep the appliance away from children
and do not allow the mains flex to hang
down.
■ Do not operate the appliance when it or
the mains flex is damaged in any way.
■ If the mains flex of this appliance becomes
damaged, it must be repaired only by the
KRUPS customer service department or
by a similarly qualified individual, in order
to avoid any danger to the person.
■ Pay attention to the instructions for the
removal of lime scale.
Before use
Before preparing coffee in the machine for
the very first time it is advisable to operate
the machine 2 or 3 times with clear water,
without coffee grounds.
Making coffee
Plug the machine into the mains.
■ Fill the machine with the required amount
of water (1).
The glass jug is marked in cups to help you
to measure the amount of water required.
■ Place the filter paper in the filter (2).
(Round filter papers, size No. 1,
diameter 94 mm)
If you moisten the filter paper slightly after
placing it in the filter, you will avoid getting
coffee meal between the filter paper and the
filter itself at the beginning of the filtering
process.
■ Put the required amount of coffee in the
filter
(3).
You can measure the required quantity of
coffee powder with a coffee measure. For
medium-strong coffee we recommend one
measure (approx. 6-7 g) per cup.
Spread the ground coffee evenly over the
filter paper and press down lightly. If you
are making only 2 or 3 cups we recommend
laying a second filter paper on top of the
coffee. The coffee will then be as strong and
aromatic, as when making the maximum
number of cups.
■ Place the cover plate on the water
container with the handle pointing
towards the rear
(4).
Make sure the cover plate is properly
seated. The rubber sealing ring of the water
container must be completely enclosed.
Locating the glass jug and filter:
■ The handles of the filter lid, the filter itself
and the jug must all interlock (5).
■ Push the jug into the appliance from the
front, until the handle of the cover
touches the framework above. Only so
can one be sure that the brewing jet is
located directly above the opening in the
filter cover. Then press the sealing lever
right down
(6).
■ Switch on the appliance (7).
If the appliance should be accidentally used
without water, the heater may become
permanently discoloured. This has no effect
on the function of the appliance.
The sealing lever must not be opened
whilst coffee is running through, as the
appliance is then under pressure.
The coffee runs out spasmodically, because
the pressure must be built up again and
again.
The flow of coffee is only then finished
when no further drops have run out of the
filter for several seconds. Remove the glass
jug.
■ Press the safety button and SLOWLY
open the sealing lever, so that any
residual pressure in the system can be
released (8).
The occasional cloudy appearance of the
coffee can be caused by the quality of the
water, the type of coffee used or by the
degree of coarseness of the ground coffee.
It is a good idea to stir the coffee in the
glass jug.
If the filter process takes noticeably longer
than usual, look to see whether the
appliance needs to have limescale removed.
(see “Removal of Limescale“).
Keeping the coffee hot
The machine's heating element continues to
work until the machine is switched off.
To keep the jug hot, just replace it in the
machine and close the sealing lever. The
coffee is kept hot at drinking temperature.
Flex storage
■ This appliance is furnished with a
convenient flex storage arrangement on
the under side of the appliance (9).
Cleaning
Never dip the main part of the appliance
into water. Always pull out the mains plug
and allow the appliance to cool down before
any cleaning operation.
The water container and the heater are
made of stainless steel and can thus be
cleaned easily. Never clean the water
container with scouring powders, but just
wipe it out with a moist cloth.
Do not try to remove lime residues from the
water container by using hard objects or
abrasive materials. Such remainders could
become lodged in the brewing pipe and
block it (see “Removal of Limescale“).
The glass jug, filter and cover plate can be
cleaned in the dish-washer.
Wash the filter cover in warm water with
ordinary washing-up liquid and then swill it
out thoroughly.
■ From time to time undo the knurled screw
under the filter lid and clean the inside of
the lid
(10).
Changing the seals
If after a lengthy period of use the water
container cover, the filter lid or the hot
water outlet nozzle cease to fit properly due
to the fact that the seals have become worn
or perished, replacement seals can be
obtained from your KRUPS dealer.
■ The outlet nozzle seal is best removed
from its seating with the aid of a suitable
tool (e.g. screwdriver). Make sure that the
new outlet nozzle seal is pressed firmly in
place
(11).
Removal of Limescale
The appliance must be descaled from time
to time, the frequency depending upon the
hardness of the local water.
Descaling is necessary when the coffeemaking operation takes noticeably longer
than usual or if a white layer has been
formed on the heating rod.
For descaling purposes use only citric or
tartaric acid, as other descaling agents could
attack the surface of the circulatory system.
Dissolve 2 tablespoonfuls in half a litre of
water and pour the solution into the water
container.
Insert the mains plug, switch on the
appliance and allow the descaling solution
to boil for 10 minutes in the open water
container. Then put on the cover plate and
insert the glass jug complete with filter and
lid. Now allow the solution to run through
as when preparing coffee, but without using
a filter paper.
Dependant upon the degreee of calcination,
repeat the operation 2-3 times with the
same still hot solution, after which allow
2 glass jugfuls of clear water to run through.
Disposal
The packaging consists entirely of
environmentally-friendly materials, which
should be passed on to the appropriate
recycling agencies.
Enquiries regarding the disposal
arrangements for disused appliances should
be addressed to your local authority.
