8. Burns can occur from touching hot plate, hot water or steam. Exercise caution.
9. Unplug machine from outlet when not in use and when cleaning. Allow to cool before
putting on or taking off parts, before cleaning the machine, and before storing.
10. All machines are subject to stringent quality control. Practical tests using machines

This machine is intended for household use only. Any servicing other than cleaning and
user maintenance should be performed by the nearest authorized Krups Service Center.
Visit our website at www.krupsusa.com in the USA or www.krups.ca in Canada or
contact your respective country's Consumer Service department for the service center
nearest to you.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to disassemble the machine.
Repair should be done by an authorized Krups Service Center only.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A.We do not recommend using an extension cord with this device. A short power
cord or a detachable power cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord accidentally.
B.If an extension cord is absolutely necessary,
1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the machine,
2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter
top or table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
C.This machine has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in
any way.
In the interest of improving products, Krups reserves the right to change specifications
without prior notice.

3. MAKING COFFEE
(Follow the illustrations 1 to 9)
1- Place the coffee maker on a hard, flat surface.With the coffeemaker turned off, plug into a 120V outlet.
2- Fill the carafe with fresh, cold water (preferably bottled or filtered water). Open the hinged cover and
pour the water into the water tank. The number of cups is shown by the water level indicator. Do not
exceed the 12-cup level. We do not recommend making less than 4 cups Fig. 1, 2 and 3.
Notes:
- There is a drip hole on the back of the water tank to prevent exceeding the capacity of the coffee
maker. If you add too much water, it will leak out from the back of the unit.
- The amount of brewed coffee will be less than the water placed in the coffeemaker since about 10%
is absorbed by the coffee grounds and the filter.
3- Place the carafe with the lid on it on to the heating plate making sure it is fully seated on the heating
plate to activate the pause-n-serve mechanism.
CAUTION: To avoid filter basket overflow, the carafe must fit securely into the
coffeemaker with the lid on. If not properly positioned on the heating plate, it could
cause hot water or hot coffee to overflow.
4- With the reservoir cover in the full opened position, insert a standard #4 cone filter into the filter basket
holder, folding the seamed edges to insure a snug fit in the basket. Use a fresh filter for each carafe of
coffee Fig. 4 and 5.
5- Add about 2 ounces of ground coffee for 12 cups. If you prefer stronger coffee, we recommend the
European method, which produces rich, full-bodied flavor. Experiment with the amount of coffee used
in order to adjust the flavor to your taste. Do not exceed the 12 cup level Fig. 6.
6- Make sure the filter basket is securely pushed down and locked in place in the filter basket holder.
7- Close the top lid making sure it is securely closed Fig. 7.
8- With the top lid firmly closed and the carafe securely in place, press the On button.The red On LED
will light up to indicate the brew cycle has started.
Note: When the brewing process ends and the water level indicator is empty, there will still be hot liquid
in the filter basket.Wait a few minutes for the rest of the liquid to drip through into the carafe.
9- After coffee grounds have cooled, open the top lid and carefully remove the filter basket by grasping
the tabs on each side of the filter basket , and lifting straight up from the filter basket holder. Discard
the used coffee filter and grounds Fig. 8 and 9.
CAUTION: The coffee maker becomes very hot during the brew cycle. Please handle
with extreme care.
Notes:
- The keep warm plate will operate, up to two hours, as long as the on/off button is on (red LED is lit).
- Always switch the coffeemaker to Off when the carafe is empty or you no longer want to keep coffee hot.
- If two or more pots of coffee are to be made it is recommended that the coffeemaker be allowed to cool
for 10 minutes between each brewed pot. The filter basket should also be rinsed out after each brew
cycle.

cycle is completed, the coffee maker will shut off automatically after 2 hours.

Note: This function will slow down the flow of water into the filter basket. It will provide a rich coffee flavor.
- When the brewing process ends and the water level indicator is empty, there will still be hot liquid in the
filter basket. Wait a few minutes for the rest of the liquid to drip through into the carafe.
Note: To des activate the AR OMA function, press the AR OMA button again.
5. PROGRAMMING YOUR COFFEE MAKER

Note: AM is indicated in the upper left hand corner of the display and PM in the lower left hand cover.
Setting the auto brew start time

flashing on the display to indicate an auto brew start time is being set.
2- Set the time you want coffee to begin brewing by using the Hour and Minutes buttons following the
same directions for setting the clock.
Note: After setting the auto brew start time the PROGRAM indicator will automatically stop flashing after
a few seconds, and the display will return to the current time.
3- To confirm your auto brew start time simply press the PROGRAM button and the pre-set time will be
displayed for a few seconds on the LCD display.The PROGRAM indicator will continue to flash while

Pause & serve
■Allows you to interrupt the brewing cycle and pour a cup of coffee before the entire carafe is finished
brewing.
CAUTION: While this will temporarily stop the coffee from dripping into the carafe,
it does not stop the brewing cycle. After serving, the carafe should be immediately
returned to the carafe plate to prevent the filter basket from overflowing.
Make sure the carafe is positioned firmly against the back of the coffee maker.
NOTE: While the pause and serve is a convenient way to pour a cup of coffee mid-cycle, we recommend
you wait until the completion of the brew cycle as the strength and flavor of coffee poured mid-cycle will
vary from the finished brew.
6. CLEANING
■To remove the used coffee, remove the filter holder from the coffeemaker. Fig 8.
■Unplug the appliance.
■Do not clean the appliance when it is still hot.
■Wash carafe, carafe lid and removable filter basket in hot, soapy water or place in top rack of the
diswasher.
■Clean with a soft cloth or a damp sponge.
■For hard to remove stains, use a plastic mesh pad or cloth damped in vinegar.
■Do not immerse the appliance in water or place it under running water.
7. DESCALING
■Calcium build-up frequently occurs in drip coffeemakers. This build-up is normal and is caused by
minerals commonly found in drinking water. Periodically, your coffeemaker will need cleaning to remove
calcium or mineral deposits that may form.You will know when your unit will need descaling when you
notice an obvious slow down in brewing time.
■We recommend descaling your unit with a solution of white vinegar and cold water or a suitable
descaling agent. A solution of two tablespoons of white vinegar to one carafe of cold water works best.
Pour this solution into the water tank, and follow your normal operating instructions, without a filter in
the filter basket.
■When the brew cycle is finished, empty the carafe and rinse with water. Refill the water reservoir with
cold water only and repeat the brew cycle with water only, twice more. This will rinse out any remaining
vinegar solution. We recommend you do this 4 times a year.
