enough to yield breWed coffee
that is rich, aromatic and truly
delicious (works on left side only).
In order to have truly aromatic
coffee, hot water must be
allowed to seep through the
ground coffee for a certain
minimum of time:
For making 4-12 cups, the full-
flavor switch should be turned
to the position ~4 - max.".
"STOP 'N SERVE" FEATURE
The "Stop 'n Serve" feature is
KRUPS' answer to the Impatient
coffee drinker's clamor for "a
quick cup of coffeel" This device
automatically stops the flow of
brewed coffee through the filter
cone if the glass carafe Is
removed from the warming plate
during the brewing cycle. You
have about 20 seconds between
the removal of the carafe and Its
being reinserted to allow the
serving of one or two cups of
co~ee.
The "Stop 'n Serve" device
closes off the filter cone so efff*:-
tively that there is virtually no cof-
fee-drip onto the warming plate
(one drop, at most I). Once the
carafe is replaced, the brewing
cycle and the flow of coffee into
the carafe are resumed.
CAUTION
If coffee does drip onto the
warming plate after removal of
the carafe, it is usually an indica-
tion that too much ground coffee
has been placed into the paper
filter, This causes the water that
jets into the filter cone to over-
flow between the paperfliter and
the sides of the filter cone. This
overflow carries coffee grounds
with it that Interfere with the
snap-shut action of the filter
conn lid, thus allowing brewed
coffee to continue to drip
through. If thl. blockage and
lubsequent leakage do occur,
replAce the g18S. carafe
Immediately and allow the full
brewing cycle to run 118
course, Donot remoye the fil-
ter cone untilthe brewing
cycle Iscompleted.

cally.
DECALCIFYING
Although your KRUPS coffee
maker has the most advanced
water heating and pumping
system, it will periodically need
cleaning with a decalcifying
agent.
. This Is due to the calcium
Qlmestone) found In drinking
water.
. In some areas where the
water Is hard. you will need
to decalcify more frequently
than in areas with soft water.
. It will also depend upon how
often you use your coffee
maker.
','
,', '
',',
WHENTO DECALCIFY
You will know when such aclean-
Ing is necessary by an obvious
slowdown in the brewing time of
your coffee. This extended time
Indicates that there is a calcium
deposit in your coffee maker. We
recommend using KRUPS origi-
nal decalcifying agent for clean-
ing your KRUPS coffee maker. If
used Inaccordance with the fol-
lowing Instructions, It will pro-
long the life of your coffee maker.
