Cleaning
Turn off the coffee machine and remove the plug from the outlet. Do not clean the coffee
machine when it is hot. Never immerse the coffee machine in water or put it under running
water.
• Clean the body of the coffee machine with a damp cloth or sponge.
• Open the filter holder and remove the paper or permanent filter. The filter holder can be
washed in warm soapy water and rinsed thoroughly, or cleaned in the upper rack of a
dishwasher.
• We recommend washing carafes by hand with a mild detergent.
• Do not use scouring agents or harsh cleansers on any part of the coffee machine.
Descaling
Descaling is necessary to keep your coffee machine running efficiently. The frequency of
descaling depends on the hardness of your water and how often you use the coffee machine.
If you notice the brew cycle has slowed it is generally time to descale the machine.

• Before descaling, remove the filter holder (k).
•
You may use either the Krups descaling solution diluted in 8 ounces of water or 8 ounces of
white vinegar.
• Pour the solution or vinegar into water reservoir (b) and start the coffee machine (without
coffee).
• Allow half the liquid to run into the carafe, then switch off and let stand for 1 hour.
• Restart the coffee machine to complete the cycle.
• Rinse the coffee machine by running it through 2 full cylces with water only.
• On the timer models if the display continues to read “CALC“ repeat the process again.
