Use and Care Manual

Turn off the coffee machine and remove the plug from the outlet prior to cleaning, descaling or any
other non-brewing related activity. Do not clean or adjust the machine when it is hot.
Never immerse the machine in water or put it under running water.
Clean the body of the machine with a damp cloth or sponge
The filter holder can be washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper
rack of a dishwasher
We recommend washing carafes by hand with a mild detergent
Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffee machine
Removable parts are dishwasher safe
Wipe base clean with a damp cloth
Coffee machine descaling:
Descaling is necessary to keep your coffee machine running efficiently,. Decalcify approximately
every 240 cycles but the frequency depends on the hardness of your water and how often you use
the coffee machine
If you notice the brew cycle has slowed it is generally time to descale the machine
Before descaling, remove the filter holder
You can use either the Krups descaling solution diluted in 8 ounces of water or 8 ounces of white
vinegar
Pour the solution or vinegar into water reservoir (b) and start the coffee machine (without coffee)
Allow half the liquid to run into the carafe, then switch off and let stand for 1 hour
Restart the coffee machine to complete the cycle
Rinse the coffee machine by running it through 2 full cycles with water only
On the timer models if the display continues to read "CALC" repeat the process again
