Helpful Hints
n
Always use fresh, cold water (warm
water might be stale and have
mineral deposits which would impair
the flavor of the coffee).
n
We recommend that you grind your
own beans. Freshly ground beans
deliver more aroma and flavor.
Use one KRUPS measuring scoop of
beans per cup.
n
Serve coffee immediately after
brewing.
n
Never reheat coffee.
Cleaning and Decalcifying
n
Always unplug the coffeemaker and
remove the
filter before
cleaning
(figure 12).
The glass carafe, hinged lid, filter insert
and
filter can be washed in a
solution of hot water and mild liquid
soap. These parts can also be placed in
the upper rack of your dishwasher for
safe effective cleaning.
Never use scouring agents.
Never immerse the appliance itself in
water or any other liquid.
To clean, simply wipe off with a soft,
damp cloth.
Never use a cloth to clean the inside of
the water chamber, as this might leave
fuzzy deposits in the chamber. Just
rinse with cold water periodically.
Although your KRUPS coffeemaker has
the most advanced water heating and
pumping system,
periodically
need cleaning with a decalcifying
agent. This is due to the calcium
(limestone) found in drinking water.
In some areas where the water is hard,
you will need to decalcify more
frequently than in areas with soft
10
water. It will also depend upon how
often you use your coffeemaker.
Indications that decalcifying is
necessary are:
increased noise during the brewing
process
a lengthening of the coffee
preparation time
To decalcify, dissolve 1 packet of
KRUPS decalcifying agent in 2 cups of
cold water. Pour the solution into the
water container, then put the empty
carafe in place and brew for one full
cycle (do not use coffee during this
process). Repeat. Allow the solution to
cool down for about ten minutes
each cycle, turning appliance
off during this time. Flush system by
cycling clean water through machine
2 or 3 times.
