Description
Before first use
.RUNNING WITH WATER ONLY (PRIMING)
. Whenusingyourcoffee maker for the first
time, rinse the coffee carafe and run the
coffee maker with a full tank of water but
without coffee grounds.
Using the Coffee Maker
TheKRUPS«Cafe Express»hasa 4-cup carafe
with a warming plate to keep your coffee hot
for up to two hours.
.Fill the water tank (1) with cold water,
following the water level indicator.
.Swing the filter holder (2) out to the side
and pour your coffee grounds into a Krups
nO.2filter and place the filter properly in the
filter holder (3). Swing the filter-holder back
to properly locked position.

.Pressthe On/Off switch (e)to start the
machine. The red indicator will come on to
show that the coffee-machine is in
operation.
"Stop 'n Serve" feature
The "Stop' nServe" feature is KRUPSanswer
to the impatient coffee drinker's clamor for" a
quick cup of coffee!" This device
automatically stops the flow of brewed coffee
through the filter cone if the glasscarafe is
removed from the warming plate during the
6KRUPS
brewing cycle. You have about 20 seconds
between the removal of the carafe and its
being reinserted to pour one or two cups of
coffee. The "Stop'n Serve" device closesoff
the filter cone so effectively that there is
virtually no coffee-drip onto the waming
plate. Once the carafe isreplaced, the
brewing cycleand the flow of coffee into the
carafe are resumed.
&
If coffee does drip onto the warming plate
after removal of the carafe, it is usuallyan
indication that too much ground coffee has
been placed into the paper filter. Thiscauses
the water that jets into the filter cone to
overflow between the paper filter and the
sidesof the filter cone. The overflow carries
coffee grounds that interfere with the
snapshut action of the filter holder, thus
allowing brewed coffee to continue to drip
through.
If this blockage and subsequent dripping do
occur, replacethe glasscarafe immediately
and allow the full brewing cycle to run its
course, Do not remove the filter until the
brewing cycleiscompleted.
