PREPARING COFFEE
Before making your first pot of
delicIous coffee, we recom-
mend operating the coffee-
maker once or tWice with water
only, without ground coffee or
a paper filter to remove any
possible dust.
. Besure that the water
container ISempty. Remove
literature, etc. If Inserted In
the water container.
.The lid of the glass carafe
must be properly positioned
dUring the brewing pro-
cess. Position the lid over
the carafe and snap the
rectangular piece onto the
handle. The lid ISthen
locked In place.
. Make sure that the sWivel
filter IS.properly closed
during the brewing pro-
cess. When closing the
sWivel filter you will feel a
noticeable resistance
when the handle of the
sWivel filter 15approxima-
tely '/2 Inch away from the
non-removable base. Push
In firmly until the handle
touches the side of the
coffeemaker.
. Caution: If the sWivel filter
ISnot completely closed,
the "Stop'n Serve" trigger
will not function properly,
which may cause hot water
or hot coffee to overflow.

Putting In the ground coffee
SWing the sWivel filter to your
nght (see figure 0). Insert a pa-
per filter (we recommend
KRUPS size 4) with the seam
pOinting towards the handle of
the filter holder (see figure 0).
We suggest uSing one level
KRUPS measunng scoop of
ground coffee for each cup of
robust coffee (see figure 0).
After uSing your KRUPS
coffeemaker several times you
can adjust the measure to suit
your own taste.
Close the sWivel filter (see
figure 0) and make sure that it
IS completely closed.
Attention: Make sure that the
filter paper does not tip over
when closing the sWivel filter. If
this happens, the water might
run between the filter paper
and the filter holder producing
a very weak cup of coffee.
Turn the selector switch to the
"on" position. The red Indicator
light In the switch will illuminate,
Indicating that the brewing pro-
cess has begun (see figure Cli».
"STOP'N SERVE" FEATURE
The "Stop'n Serve" feature IS
KRUPS' answer to the Impati-
ent coffee dnnker's clamor for
"a qUick cup of coffee!" This
dEwlce automatically stops the
flow of brewed coffee through
the filter cone if the glass cara-
fe IS removed from the warm-
Ing plate dunng the brewing
cycle. You have about 20 sec
onds between the removal of
the carafe and Its being reins-
erted to allow the service of
one or two cups of coffee.
The "Stop'n Serve" device closes
off the filter cone so effectively
that there ISvirtually no coffee-
dnp onto the warming plate
(one drop, at most!), Once the
carafe IS replaced, the brewing
cycle and the flow of coffee
Into the carafe are resumed.
~
CAUTION
Ifcoffee does dnp onto the
warming plate after removal of
the carafe, it IS usually an In-
diction that too much ground
cotfee has been placed Into
the paper filter. This causes the
water that Jets Into the filter
cone to overflow between the
paper filter and the sides of the
filter cone. The overflow carnes
coffee grounds that Interfere
with the snap-shut action of
the filter holder, thus allowing
brewed coffee to continue to
dnp through. If this blockage
and subsequent dnpplng do
occur, replace the glass
carafe Immediately and allow
the full brewing cycle to run
its course. Do not swmg out
the sWIVel filter until the
brewing cycle IS completed.
SETTING "WAKE.UP" TIME

DECALCIFYING
Although your KRUPS coffee-
maker has the most advanced
water heating and pumping
system, it will penodically need
cleaning with a decalcifying
agent.
.This ISdue to the calcium
(limestone) found In drinking
water.
. Insome areas where the
waterIShard,youwillneed
to decalcify morefrequently
than In areas with softwater.
. Itwillalso depend upon how
often you use your coffee-
maker.
WHEN TO DECALCIFY
You will know when such a
cleaning 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 coffeemaker. Decalcifier
IS widely available. and can be
purchased from the KRUPS
Consumer Service Depart.
ment.

nally. If swallowed accidently,
drink several glasses of wa.
ter or milk and consult your
