Throw the coffee grounds and filter paper in the garbage. Fig 17b. and Fig 18b.
Do not clean the machine if it is still hot.
Wash the removable filter holder and the permanent filter in warm soapy water. The carafe may be cleaned
in the dishwasher.
CAUTION: Do not place the carafe in the microwave.
Do not put other parts of the coffee maker into the dishwasher.
Clean the coffee maker with a damp cloth or sponge. Never use abrasive or strong products on any part
of the coffee maker.
To clean the stainless steel parts of your coffee maker, dampen a soft cloth or sponge with warm water.
Wipe carefully with a dry cloth.
For difficult stains, use a cloth with white vinegar.
Do not immerse the appliance in water or under the tap.
8. 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 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 mid-
cycle, this means your machine has limestone build up and needs to be descaled.
- 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 (q) light will flash 3 times at the end of the cycle.
Note: If you press the BREW button (k) while the CLEAN button (q) 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 19* and 20*.
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. 21.
Pour the solution into the water tank (without coffee). Fig. 22.
Press the CLEAN button (q) followed by the BREW button (k) to start the descaling cycle. Fig. 23.
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.
To rinse the machine, run 2 full 12 cups cycles with water but without coffee. Fig. 24.
Repeat if necessary.
Put the filter cartridge back. Figs 27* and 28*.
The warranty does not cover coffee makers that do not work, or do so poorly, due to lack of
descaling.
Filter cartridge*
Your machine filters 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.
Note: There is a rotary indicator on the top of the water filter holder that shows when you should
replace your DuoFilter.
