SETTING THE CLOCK

• Place the coffee maker on a hard flat surface.
• Connect the power cord to a 120V wall socket.

1. - When you plug in the coffee maker for the first time, "1:00 pm" will start flashing on the display. Fig. 1. Set the time by pressing the H button (n) to set the hour and the MIN button (o) to set the minutes. The time will appear on the display. It will be automatically set after 5 seconds or by pressing the BREW button (l).

2. - You can also set or change the time at any other time. Set the time by pressing the H button (n) to set the hour and the MIN button (o) to set the minutes. The time will appear on the display. Figs. 2 and 3. It will be automatically set after 5 seconds or by pressing the BREW button.

NB: Your clock is now set and will continue to show the time, even when your machine is in standby mode. If the machine is unplugged or there is a power failure, the clock will revert to 1:00 pm. Repeat the steps above to reset the clock.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Remove stickers from your coffee maker.
• Before using your coffee maker for the first time, run a cycle without coffee to rinse the circuit. Fill the water tank to the maximum level and start a cycle by pressing the BREW button (l).

IMPORTANT : Your machine has been designed to work with cold or water at room temperature only

MAKING COFFEE

• Open the coffee maker lid (b). Fig. 4.

• Open the lid of the thermal carafe by twisting the lid so that the arrow and the word 'OPEN' are aligned. Fig. 5a.

• Fill the thermal carafe (g) with cold or warm water and close the lid by aligning the arrow with the word 'OPEN', then by twisting the lid so the arrow is aligned with the word 'CLOSE'. Fig. 5b. Pour water into the water reservoir by pressing the lever on the lid of the thermal carafe so the water starts flowing. Figs 6 and 7. The number of cups is shown by the water level indicator. Do not exceed 12 cups. Fig. 8.

• Place the thermal carafe (g) with its closed lid onto the base (i) making sure that it is properly positioned so as to activate the coffee pouring mechanism. Fig. 11.

• Make sure that the filter holder (j) is inserted. Fig. 9. Insert the permanent filter (k) Fig. 10a or a #4 paper filter into the filter holder (j). If using a paper filter, make sure it is fully opened and properly positioned in the filter holder. Fig. 10b.

• We recommend removing the filter holder with the filter before adding the ground coffee. If you accidentally pour ground coffee into the water tank, do not start the cycle. Clean the tank, otherwise the coffee may block the water circuit.
• Add 1 KRUPS spoon (v) of ground coffee per cup. Do not exceed 12 spoons (2 ounces). Fig. 12.

• Close the lid (b).
• Press the BREW button (l). The BREW button light will come on to show that the coffee maker has started the brew cycle. The machine will beep once. Fig. 13.

• At the end, your machine will beep 3 times and the BREW button (l) will turn off. Your coffee maker will stop automatically a maximum of 5 minutes after the brewing cycle ends, i.e. 5 minutes after the reservoir is completely empty.
• Remove the thermal carafe from the coffee maker so that the coffee is kept hot in the best conditions possible.
• In order to pour coffee from the thermal carafe, press the lever on the lid. Fig. 19.

• This thermal carafe can keep your coffee hot for up to 4 hours.

NB:

- The amount of coffee in the thermal carafe at the end of the cycle is less than the amount of water poured into the tank because about 10% is absorbed by the ground coffee and the filter.

- There is an overflow hole on the back of the water tank. If you add too much water, it will leak out of this hole.

- To ensure maximum heat retention, rinse the thermal carafe with hot water before use and close the lid by twisting it clockwise.

- Clean the permanent filter between each use or use a new paper filter.

CAUTION:

- To avoid any overflow, the thermal carafe must be properly positioned on the base of the coffee maker, otherwise it could cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.

- The coffee maker becomes very hot during the brew cycle. Please handle with care.

• Do not clean the machine if it is still hot.
• Wash the removable filter holder and the permanent filter in warm soapy water.
• Handle the thermal carafe with care: add a small amount of dish detergent and some water and stir gently. Use a soft brush to remove any stains. Use a non-abrasive sponge.
• If the carafe is very stained, fill it with boiling water. Add a dishwasher tablet and let it soak for about an hour. Then rinse thoroughly.
• Do not clean the carafe in a dishwasher and do not immerse it in water.

CAUTION: Do not place the thermal carafe in the microwave.

Do not put parts of the coffee maker into the dishwasher.

• For difficult stains, use a cloth with white vinegar.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or under the tap

DESCALING

• Why descale?

- Limestone forms naturally in your coffee maker. Descaling preserves the coffee maker and ensures it will last longer and provide quality coffee over time. Limestone can permanently affect the machine's performance. Malfunctions associated with scaling will not be covered by the warranty if the product is returned.

• When to descale?

- When your machine needs descaling, the CLEAN button (r) light will come on.

- The descaling frequency depends on the hardness of the water and the number of brew cycles. If you notice the following signs: longer cycle time, excessive steaming, more noise at the end of the cycle, stopping midcycle, this means your machine is scaled.

- Your coffee maker should be descaled around once a month depending on the hardness of the water.

- If your machine needs descaling, the CLEAN button (r) light will flash 3 times at the end of the cycle.

NB: If you press the BREW button (l) while the CLEAN button (r) light is on, the descaling cycle will start instead of the brew cycle.

How to descale your KRUPS coffee maker

• Remove the filter cartridge (t). Figs 22 and 23.

• Use the KRUPS® descaling solution or 17 fl. oz of white vinegar diluted in 17 fl.oz of cold or water at room temperature or 1.5 oz of citric acid diluted in 17 fl. oz until complete dissolution of crystals. Fig. 24.

• Pour the solution into the water tank (without coffee). Fig. 25.

• Press the CLEAN button (r) followed by the BREW button (l) to start the descaling cycle. Fig. 26.

• The cycle lasts for 30 min.
• Wait until the end of the cycle.
• If the water tank is not empty, please launch another descaling cycle by pressing CLEAN button (r).
• To rinse the machine, run 2 full 12 cups cycles with water but without coffee. Fig. 27.

• Repeat if necessary
• Put the filter cartridge back. Figs 30 and 31.

• The warranty does not cover coffee makers that do not work, or do so poorly, due to lack of descaling.

Filter cartridge

Your machine can filter water using a DuoFilter: a double action filter (reduces chlorine and scaling) formulated with active plant ingredients. This DuoFilter allows you to enjoy the subtle aromas of your coffee and reduces the descaling frequency.

NB: There is a rotary indicator on the top of the water filter holder that shows when you should replace your DuoFilter.

• Select the number of the month when you replace the filter. The month when you should change your filter depending on the hardness of the water will then be indicated. Fig. 29.

• To change the filter, remove the filter cartridge from the tank. Fig. 30.

• Open it by pulling the bottom part and change the filter. Figs 30 and 31.

IMPORTANT:

The DuoFilter must only be used with water.

Your coffee machine will still work if the water filter is not installed.

If you have not used your coffee machine for over a month, rinse the DuoFilter in running water.

We do not recommend leaving the same DuoFilter in your machine for over 5 months.

The duo filter can cause the water to flow slow, excess steam, high noise lever. The filter may need to be replace
