Fig. 2 and 3.

  

  

  

• You may also program or change the time at any other time. Press the clock button (l) and turn the brew knob (k). Set by pressing the clock button (l) or the brew button (k). The time is displayed.
• Your clock is now programmed and will continue to display the time even when your appliance is on standby.
• If the appliance is disconnected or there is a power failure, the clock will return to 1:00 PM. The steps above must be repeated to program the clock again.

BEFORE FIRST USE

• Remove stickers from your coffee maker.
• Before first use, run your coffee maker without coffee to flush the circuit. Fill the water tank up to the maximum level and begin a cycle by pressing the brew knob (k).
• IMPORTANT: Your appliance was designed to operate only with cold or water at room temperature.

MAKING COFFEE

• Open the lid of the coffee maker (b). Fig. 4.

  

• Fill the carafe (g) with cold or water at room temperature. Pour the water in the water tank (c) Fig. 5. The water level indicator displays the number of cups. Do not exceed 12 cups. Fig. 6.

  

  

• Place the carafe (g) with its lid on the warming plate (h) making sure that it is properly placed to activate the mechanism that will allow the coffee to flow. Fig. 7.

  

• It is best to remove the filter holder with the filter before adding the ground coffee. If ground coffee has accidentally been poured into the water tank, please do not run the cycle; instead clean the water tank. The ground coffee could plug the water circuit.

• Add 1 KRUPS (u) spoonful of ground coffee per cup. Do not exceed 12 spoons (2 ounces). Fig. 10.

  

• Make sure the filter holder (i) is inserted. Fig. 8. Place the permanent filter (j) in the filter holder (i) or a No. 4 paper filter. If you use a paper filter, be sure it is fully open and properly positioned in the filter holder. Fig. 9a and 9b.

  

  

  

• Close the lid (b).

• Press the brew button (k). The button lights up to indicate that the coffee maker has begun the brew cycle. It beeps once. Fig. 11.

  

• When the cycle has ended, the 'keep warm' feature turns on automatically (the countdown showing the time during which it will remain warm is displayed on screen). The brew button (k) flashes slowly.
• After the default keep warm time of 30 minutes your appliance beeps 3 times and the brew button (k) switches off.
• At any time during the brew cycle, you may turn off the coffee maker by pressing the brew button (k). The light on the brew button will also go out. It beeps 3 times prior to turning off.
• Even if the brew cycle has ended, there is still hot liquid in the filter. Wait a few minutes for the rest of the liquid to flow into the carafe before removing the filter.
• Note:
  • The amount of coffee in the carafe at the end of the cycle is less than the amount of water poured into the water tank, since the ground coffee and the filter absorb about 10% of it.
  • The water tank is equipped with an overflow outlet at the rear of the appliance. If you add too much water, it will come out of this opening.
  • Clean the permanent filter in between each use, or use a paper filter.

CAUTION

• To avoid overflowing, the carafe should be properly placed on the warming plate of the coffee maker, otherwise the hot water or hot coffee may overflow.
• The coffee maker becomes very hot during the brew cycle. Handle it carefully.

• For difficult stains, use a cloth with white vinegar.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or under the tap.

DESCALING

Why descale

• Limestone forms naturally in your coffee maker. Descaling preserves the coffee maker and ensures it will last longer and provide quality coffee over time. 
• Limestone can permanently affect the machine's performance. Malfunctions associated with scaling will not be covered by the warranty if the product is returned.

When to descale

• When descaling is necessary, your machine will tell you and the CLEAN icon will appear on screen.
• How often you need to descale depends on the hardness of the water and the coffee cycle number. When you see the following signs: extended cycle times, high steam, a high noise level at the end of the cycle, stop page during a cycle, this means your machine is scaled.
• Descaling should be done about once a month, depending on the hardness of the water.

How to descale your KRUPS coffee maker

• Remove the filter cartridge. Fig. 26.

  

• Use the KRUPS descaling solution or 17 fl. oz of white vinegar diluted in 17 fl.oz of cold or water at room temperature or 1.5 oz of citric acid diluted in 17 fl. oz until complete dissolution of crystals. Fig. 27.

  

• Pour the solution into the water tank (without coffee). Fig. 28.

  

• Press the CLEAN button (o) and then the BREW button (k) to start the descaling cycle. Fig. 29.

  

• The cycle lasts for 30 min.
• Please wait until the end of the cycle.
• If the water tank is not empty, please launch another descaling cycle by pressing CLEAN button.

• To rinse the machine, run 2 full 12 cups cycles with water but without coffee. Fig. 30.

  

  

• Repeat the operation if needed.
• Replace the filter cartridge. Fig. 34 and 35.
• The warranty does not cover coffee makers that do not work, or do so poorly, due to lack of descaling.

DUO FILTER CARTRIDGE

• Your appliance allows you to filter with the DuoFilter filters: double action filter – reduces chlorine and scaling – based on active plant ingredients. This Duo Filter allows you to luxuriate in the most delicate aromas of your coffee and reduces the need to descale.
• In its upper part, the filter cartridge support is equipped with an indicator for replacement of the cartridge.

• Select the number of the month when you replace the filter. It will display the month when you should change your filter according to water hardness. Fig. 33.

  

• To change the filter, remove the DuoFilter from the tank. Fig. 32.

  

• Open it by unlatching and opening the lower part and replacing it. Fig. 34.

  

  

IMPORTANT

• The DuoFilter filter must only be used with water.
• Your coffee maker operates even if the water filter is not installed.
• If you have not used your coffee machine for over a month, rinse the DuoFilter filter under running water.
• It is recommended not to leave the DuoFilter water filter in place for over 5 months.
• The duo filter can cause the water to flow slow, excess steam, high noise lever. The filter may need to be replace.
