DESCRIPTION
BEFORE FIRST USE
■To remove the glass carafe (E), press the safety button (B), while holding it down, simultaneously lift
the locking lever (A). Fig. 1
■Remove all packaging or other accessories inside as well as outside of the appliance.
■Run your coffee maker two times without coffee and the equivalent of a carafe of water to rinse it (maximum
1 liter / 33 oz.). Wait for about 5 minutes between the two cycles.
PREPARATION OF COFFEE
■Remove the glass carafe (E) by pressing the safety button (B). While holding it down, simultaneously
lift the locking lever (A). Fig. 1
■Remove the lid (F) of the water tank. Fig. 2
■Fill the water tank (G) with the required amount of water. Fig. 3
■Use the glass carafe (E) which is calibrated in order to help you measure the quantity of water required
according to the number of cups. Do not put the water tank directly under the tap to fill it.
■For more convenience, your KRUPS machine comes with a permanent filter (D). Place this permanent
filter (D) on the glass carafe (E). Fig. 6.
■Put the necessary quantity of coffee in the permanent filter (D) using the spoon provided (K). Fig. 5
■For a regular coffee, we recommend 8 spoons of ground coffee for a full carafe. (1 spoon per cup)
■Spread the ground coffee in the permanent filter (D) and flatten it slightly.
■Place the lid (F) on the water tank (G) by positioning the handle backwards. Fig. 6
■The lid of the water tank (F) must be properly fixed, so that the edge of the lid surrounds the ring of rubber.
■Place the lid (C) on the permanent filter (D) and put this unit back on the glass carafe (E).
■The handles of the lid (C), of the permanent filter (D) and the glass carafe (E) must be all aligned to lock
into place. Fig. 7
■Set up the glass carafe (E) until it stops at the front.
■Then put the locking lever (A) back in place. The glass carafe (E) should be locked in place at that point.
Fig. 8
■The glass carafe (E) must be positioned so that the handle is exactly in the center of the appliance and not
turned to the side. Fig. 9 and 10
■Please DO NOT open the locking lever (A) during a brewing.
■Plug the appliance and turn it on. Fig. 11
■If the appliance was accidentally turned on without water, the color of the boiler may be faded. This has
no influence on the functioning of the appliance.
NB : Please note it is normal that some time passes between the beginning of the brewing cycle and the
moment when coffee starts dripping in the carafe. This corresponds to the amount of time necessary
to increase the pressure inside the appliance. There will also be a small loss of water quantity between
what was poured initially and what is in the carafe after a brewing cycle.
■The pressure inside the appliance is constantly renewed and the coffee will flow little by little.
■The brewing cycle is over when the coffee no longer drips for about ten seconds.

■When the cycle is finished, press the safety button (B) and simultaneously raise the locking lever (A)
GENTLY to release any residual pressure. Fig. 12 Remove the glass carafe.
Attention: Do not touch the stainless steel machine parts: the water tank (G) and the lid of the
permanent filter (C). You are likely to burn yourself especially when pouring the coffee.
■From time to time, the coffee may appear cloudy. This may be due to water quality, type of ground coffee
used or ground fineness. We recommend that you stir the coffee in the carafe.
■If the coffee cycle takes significantly more time than usual, please carry out a descaling cycle. (see
DESCALING section).
AUTOMATIC STOP
■Your device will automatically turn off approximately 20 min after the beginning of a cycle.
STORING THE POWER CORD
For more convenience, your coffee maker is equipped with a storage space for the cord. It is located at the
base of the unit. Fig. 13
CLEANING
■Never immerse the body of the appliance in water. Always unplug and allow the appliance to cool down
before cleaning.
■The water tank (G) and heater are made of stainless steel and therefore are easy to clean.
■Clean the water tank (G) with a soft cloth or wet sponge. Do not clean the appliance when it is still hot.
■Do not attempt to remove scale with abrasive objects or materials; they can be lodged in the pipe and the
plug (see the DESCALING section).
■Wash the glass carafe (E), lids (C and F) and permanent filter (D) using hot water and mild dish detergent
then rinse thoroughly and carefully.
■If needed, loosen the screw located at the bottom of the lid of the permanent filter (D) and clean the interior
of the lid. Fig. 14 and 15
REP ACEMENT OF THE GAS KET
■After a certain period of use, the lid of the water tank (F), the permanent filter (D) or hot water pipe may no
longer close properly. This is due to the deterioration of the gasket. To replace them, contact an Authorized
KRUPS Service Center.
DESCALING
■Why descaling
Scale is naturally formed in your coffee maker. Descaling preserves the coffee maker, ensuring a longer life
of the appliance and a consistent quality of coffee every single time. Scale may permanently deteriorate the
performance of the machine. Machine malfunctions related to scaling will not be covered under warranty if
you return the product.
■When to descale
The frequency of descaling depends on the water hardness and the number of coffee cycles. Longer brewing
time, high evaporation, high level of noise at the end of cycle, stops during the cycle, each of these signs
show that descaling is necessary.
The descaling of the coffee maker must be done once the machine has gone through 20 to 40 cycles or
once a month depending on the water hardness.

How to descale your KRUPS coffee maker
Use the KRUPS®F054 descaling solution diluted in 15oz of water or 8oz of commercially available white
vinegar in 15oz of water.
Pour the solution into the water tank (without coffee).
Start the cycle (without coffee). After 4 min, manually stop the cycle. Leave it still for an hour. Restart the
coffee to resume and complete the cycle.
To rinse the machine, run 2 cycles with water but no coffee.
Repeat the operation if necessary.
■A coffee maker that is damaged or does not function properly because of lack of descaling
will be excluded from KRUPS warranty.
