IMPORTANT!
Operating voltage: This device is designed to work only at
alternating current 120V.
Type of use: This machine is designed EXCLUSIVELY for
household use only. Any non-residential use including
commercial purposes will void the warranty.
3. TIPS
nTo extract the fullest flavor from your beans, we recommend using whole
coffee beans that have been freshly ground each time espresso is
prepared. Take care to make sure your coffee is ground to the proper
size for espresso. Too fine a grind will result in espresso that is over-
extracted and bitter. Too coarse a grind will result in espresso that is
under-extracted and weak in flavor. The perfect espresso grind will feel
like fine grains that do not clump when pressed together.
nStore your espresso grounds in an airtight container, and in a cool, dry
place to retain the flavor. Grounds should not be kept for long periods
of time as the flavor will be reduced over time.
nDo not fill your filter holder to the brim. Using the measuring spoon
included, use 1 level spoon of grounds per shot of espresso.
nIf you do not use the machine for more than 5 consecutive days, rinse
and drain the water tank.
nBefore removing the water tank to fill or empty it, always turn the machine
off.
nAlways place the unit on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface.
nTo obtain an espresso at exactly the right temperature, we recommend
that you preheat your cups.
IMPORTANT!
Before using for the first time, after a prolonged period
of inactivity or after descaling, the machine must be
cleaned as described in Section 4: “BEFORE FIRST
USE”.
IFU_KR_XP4200_NAFTA_NC00026258-01 18/11/11 13:47 Page12

English
4. BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your espresso machine for the first time, clean all
accessories using warm water and a gentle dishwashing liquid, and rinse
well before replacing.
PRIMING OF YOUR MACHINE:
Use the following procedure to prime the machine:
nOpen the lid and remove the water tank by lifting up on the handle
(fig.1).
nFill it with water (fig. 2).
nReplace the water tank by positioning it firmly, to ensure the water
inlet is in place, and close the lid (fig.3).
nPress the on/off button to turn the machine on (fig.4).
nInsert the filter holder (without espresso grounds) in the machine and
turn to the right (fig.7).
nPlace a container under the filter holder large enough to hold all the
water in the water tank.
nOnce the machine has reached the correct temperature, the on/off
button will stop blinking. Turn the dial to the position (fig.8) and
let all the water in the tank run through.
nIf the container you are using has a smaller capacity than the water tank,
turn the dial back to the to pause the water flow when necessary.
Empty the container, replace under the filter holder, and turn the dial back
to the position.
nRepeat as necessary until the water tank is empty. (fig.9).
nOnce all the water has been drained from the water tank, remove and
empty the container, press the button on the filter holder and turn
the filter holder handle to the left to remove (fig.10).
5. MAKING AN ESPRESSO
In order to extract the maximum flavor from the beans, this machine
pre-infuses each cup. The pump works for 3 seconds, pauses for
3 seconds, and then continues until the cup is finished.
PREHEATING THE ACCESSORIES
For the best results, we recommend that you preheat the filter holder
before espresso grounds are added, and warm the cups.
13
IFU_KR_XP4200_NAFTA_NC00026258-01 18/11/11 13:47 Page13

English
14
nFill the water tank with fresh cold water and turn the machine on
(fig 1-4).
nPut the filter holder in place, place the cups below.
As soon as the required temperature is achieved, the light will stop
flashing.
nTurn the dial to the position (fig.8).
nWhen the cups are filled with hot water, turn the dial to the position
(fig.9).
nRemove the cups, taking care to not spill the water.
nUnlock the filter holder by pressing the button on the handle while
turning the handle to the left to release, and remove the filter holder
from the machine (fig.10).
Note: Use the cup warming tray to warm espresso cups.
WITH GROUND COFFEE
The type of coffee you choose strongly influences the strength and
flavor of your espresso. Always use coffee beans ground to the
proper size for espresso. Too fine a grind will result in espresso that
is over-extracted and bitter. Too coarse a grind will result in
espresso that is under-extracted and weak in flavor. The perfect
espresso grind will feel like fine grains that do not clump when
pressed together.
Store your espresso grounds in an airtight container, and in a cool,
dry place to retain the flavor. Grounds should not be kept for long
periods of time as the flavor will be reduced over time.
Do not use instant coffee, or coffee for drip coffee machines.
nFill the water tank to the maximum line with fresh cold water and turn
the machine on (fig. 1-4). While the machine is preheating, the light
will flash.
nUsing the measuring spoon, add 1 level spoon of espresso grounds
per cup of espresso (fig.5).
nRemove any excess espresso grounds from the edge of the filter.
Important:
Do not tamp the coffee down in the filter holder. The
coffee is automatically tamped to the optimum level by
the Krups Precise Tamp (KPT) system.
IFU_KR_XP4200_NAFTA_NC00026258-01 18/11/11 13:47 Page14

English
nInsert the filter holder and turn the handle to the right as far as it will go.
You will hear a clicking sound as the Krups Precise Tamp (KPT) system
automatically adjusts the tamping level depending on the amount of
coffee grounds used. The handle will become progressively harder to
turn as you approach the optimum tamping level, do not force the handle
past this point. Use the “one cup” and “two cup” markings on the
brewing head as a guideline of where to stop. Because the Krups
Precise Tamp automatically adjusts the tamping level, you may find that
you do not always stop at the same point each time. Never turn the
handle past the far right edge of the “one cup”marking (fig.7).
nPut one or two cups under the filter holder as desired.
As soon as the required temperature is achieved, the light will stop
flashing.
nTurn the dial to the position (fig.8).
nWhen the cups are filled with the desired amount of espresso, turn
the dial back to the position.
nUnlock the filter holder by pressing the button on the handle while
turning the handle to the left to release, and remove the filter holder
from the machine.
nRemove the used espresso grounds using the ejection system by
holding the filter holder upside down over a trash receptacle. Press
the « PUSH » button located between the two coffee outlet nozzles
on the underside of the filter holder (fig.11). Rinse the filter holder
under running water, pressing « PUSH » while rinsing to release any
remaining grounds. Once the filter holder has been rinsed and dried
it can be refilled to prepare more espresso.
IMPORTANT: Do not store the filter holder in the locked
position when the machine is not in use to avoid
unnecessary wear to the seal.
WITH AN “E.S.E." ESPRESSO POD
“ESE” for “Easy Serving Espresso" is a packaged pod (44 mm
diameter) of 7g of selected coffee, ground and compacted between
two paper filters, specially designed to make Italian style ristretto
(tight) espressos.
This system allows for simple and clean use of your machine.
nFill the water tank with fresh cold water to the maximum line and turn
on the machine (fig.1, 2, 3 and 4). The light will flash while the
machine preheats 15
IFU_KR_XP4200_NAFTA_NC00026258-01 18/11/11 13:47 Page15

English
16
nRemove the excess paper from the E.S.E. pod, and place the pod in
the filter holder with the red writing facing down.
nTake care to make sure that the pod is centered in the filter holder
with no paper hanging out, as this may cause leaks and/or
unsatisfactory results.
nNever use more than one pod at a time.
nThen follow the steps above for figure 7-11 to make your espresso.
WITH A SOFT POD
Your machine is also compatible with soft pods, which are usually
smaller in diameter than E.S.E. pods. However since soft pods are
not specifically designed for use with espresso machines, you will
get a less flavorful espresso than with an E.S.E. pod.
nFill the water tank with fresh cold water to the maximum line and turn
on the machine (fig.1, 2, 3 and 4). The light will flash while the
machine preheats.
nPlace the soft pod in the filter holder.
nTake care to make sure that the pod is centered in the filter holder
with no paper hanging out, as this may cause leaks and/or
unsatisfactory results.
nNever use more than one pod at a time.
nThen follow the steps above for figure 7-11 to make your espresso.
6. MILK FROTHING FUNCTION
nSteam can be used to froth milk by using the steam wand with frothing
nozzle (for example to make a cappuccino or latte).
nAs the machine produces steam, the pump will make a thumping sounds.
This sound is normal and is an indication that the machine is operating
properly.
nAfter using the steam function, the machine purges automatically
to cool down by pumping cold water through the heating system.
During the purging cycles of cold water, the excess steam in the
heating system is released with hot water into the drip tray.
nThe steam and noise that accompany this phase are important
for cooling the machine.
Caution: During and after using the steam wand, the metal
parts of the steam wand can become very hot. Take care
when handling the steam wand to avoid injury.
IFU_KR_XP4200_NAFTA_NC00026258-01 18/11/11 13:47 Page16

English
USING THE STEAM NOZZLE TO FROTH MILK
nFill the water tank with fresh cold water to the maximum line and turn
the machine on (fig.1, 2, 3 and 4).
nTurn the dial to the position (fig.12). The indicator light will flash
to show that the machine is preheating.
nPosition the steam nozzle so that it points away from the machine.
nPour 2 to 3 oz (1/4 – 1/3 cup) of fresh milk in a small container that
is short enough to fit under the steam nozzle. Both the milk and the
container should be cold for optimum results.
nPasteurised or UHT milk is recommended. Whole, lowfat, or skim milk
can all be frothed.
nAs soon as the preheating indicator light stops blinking, plunge the
steam nozzle into the milk.
nTurn the dial to the position (fig.13).
nFor optimal results, froth from the bottom of the container and slowly
move upwards. Hold the nozzle towards the bottom of the container
without touching the bottom for about 25 seconds. Then gradually
lower the container so that the steam nozzle moves up towards the
surface of the milk. Do not allow the nozzle to come completely out of
the milk, nor allow the milk level to cover the black plastic ring at the
top of the nozzle.
nOnce the frothing is complete, turn the dial to the position (fig.15).
The machine will then begin 3 pumping cycles to automatically cool
the system. Once cooling is complete, another espresso can be made.
Important: To prevent clogging of the steam nozzle, make
sure the milk foam does not cover the black plastic ring at
the top of the steam nozzle.
It is important to clean the steam nozzle after each use to prevent milk
from hardening and drying inside the nozzle which can result in the tube
blowing off due to pressure build-up. To clean the nozzle :
nPlace the steam nozzle in a small container filled with water.
nTurn the dial to the position (fig.12).
nOnce the indicator light has stopped blinking, turn the dial to the
position (fig.13) to remove any remaining milk. Run in the steam
position for at least 30 seconds.
nThen turn the dial to th position and wipe the outside of the steam
nozzle with a clean cloth.
For thorough cleaning of the steam nozzle, see Section 7, “Cleaning of
the Steam Nozzle”.

sign that descaling is necessary. See Section 8 for details on
descaling. Please note that descaling should be performed
periodically to maintain optimum performance of your machine.
CLEANING OF THE DRIP TRAY
nThe drip tray must be emptied each time the machine is used. The
presence of water in the drip tray is normal and is not the sign of a
leak. Lift up the tray slightly and pull out to remove from the machine.
nIf multiple espressos are prepared one after the other, the drip tray
should be emptied every few espressos to prevent overflowing.
nThe red overflow indicators in the tray will float up and become visible
to remind you to empty the drip tray before it overflows. When
emptying the drip tray, remove the metal tray and rinse out the
compartment below. If necessary, both the metal tray and the
compartment can be cleaned with warm water and a gentle
dishwashing liquid. Rinse well and dry completely before replacing
the drip tray in the machine. Make sure when replacing the drip tray
to push it all the way into the machine to avoid leaking.
