Frequently Asked Questions - Pro Aroma FMF244 KRUPS

How do I descale the Krups Pro Aroma FMF244?

Use a descaler sachet diluted in 250 ml of water or 250 ml of white vinegar. Pour into the water tank and start the machine without coffee. Let half run through, then switch off and wait 1 hour. Restart to complete the cycle. Rinse 2-3 times with clean water.

What is the Duo Filter and how do I install it?

The Duo Filter is an optional accessory that reduces chlorine and scale. Rinse it under tap water for 1 minute, then insert it into the filter holder. Rotate the lower part of the holder and place it in the machine. Set the replacement month indicator on top.

Why is my coffee weak or not hot enough?

Weak coffee may be due to too little coffee grounds or using the flavour selector on a lower setting. Ensure you use the correct grind and amount. If not hot, preheat the carafe with hot water and ensure the hotplate is clean.

How do I clean the coffee maker?

Unplug and let cool. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. The glass pot, cover, and filter holder are dishwasher safe. Never immerse the base in water. For the vacuum pot (if applicable), use a dishwasher tablet with boiling water, then rinse 3 times.

What does the flavour selector do?

The flavour selector allows you to brew stronger coffee, especially when making 1, 2, or 3 cups. It adjusts the brewing time to extract more flavour.

How do I use the permanent filter?

Place ground coffee directly into the permanent filter. After brewing, discard grounds and rinse the filter under running water. Do not use a paper filter simultaneously to avoid overflow.

Why does the machine make noise and take too long to brew?

This indicates scale buildup. Descale your coffee maker following the descaling instructions. Regular descaling prevents clogging and ensures optimal performance.

Can I use the coffee maker without a filter?

Yes, the machine functions without a filter, but we recommend using the permanent filter or a paper filter for better coffee quality. Without a filter, grounds may enter the carafe.

How do I store the power cord?

The cord storage compartment on the base allows you to adjust the cord length to your preference. Push excess cord into the storage area.

What should I do if the machine stops working?

Check that it is plugged in and the switch is in the 'I' position. If it stops heating with water still in the tank, descale the machine. If problems persist, contact a Krups authorised service centre.

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

If your coffee maker is equipped with a vacuum pot (according to model):

See the warnings below:

BEFORE USE

Run the coffee maker for the first time with 1 L of water, without coffee and without the Duo Filter (j).

Your coffee maker may be fitted with a Duo Filter (accessory in option depending on model).

The Duo Filter is a double-action antichlorine and anti-scale filter.

The anti-chlorine action of the filter brings out the most delicate aromas of the coffee.

Tap-water frequently contains a chlorine level that impedes the development of the coffee's aroma.

The anti-scale action allows for a longer period between descaling operations.

The filter elements making up the Duo Filter (non-polluting activated vegetable carbon and anti-scale resin) comply with the food laws in force. For the protection of the consumer, it is treated with silver salts with a bacteriostatic action. This filter has passed tests by recognised laboratories.

The Duo Filter can be disposed of as domestic waste.

Remove the Duo Filter (j) from its plastic covering. Rinse it under tap water for 1 minute.

Lift the cover (a) of the water tank (b) and lift out the filter holder (k). Rotate the lower part of the support and insert the filter into its housing. Replace the filter holder in the coffee maker: the coffee maker is ready for use.

Note: there is a rotary indicator on the upper part of the filter holder. This indicates when the Duo Filter should next be changed (l): turn the indicator so that the number of the month when the Duo Filter (j) should next be changed is opposite the index mark.

Example: if you replace the Duo Filter (j) in January (1) you should set the indicator to March (3) or May (5), depending on the hardness of your local water supply. Place the number 3 or 5 opposite the index.

Important:

■ the Duo Filter must only be used with drinking water, ■ the coffee maker still functions if there is no filter, ■ if the coffee maker has not been used for more than one month, rinse the Duo Filter under running water, - it is recommended not to leave the Duo Filter in place for more than 5 months.

Duo Filter Cycles Time
Soft water	about 120	4 months
Hard water	about 80	2 months

MAKING COFFEE

This coffee maker is fitted with a drip-stop device, allowing you to serve coffee before the water has finished running through. Replace the coffee pot quickly to avoid any overflow.

- Do not exceed the maximum capacity of the water tank as shown by the water level indicator (e).

Keep warm function:

At the end of the cycle (i.e. when there is no more water in the tank), the heat will be maintained until it turns off automatically after about 30 minutes.

Your coffee maker is equipped with a permanent filter (depending on model):

Place the ground coffee directly in the permanent filter. After use, throw away the grounds and rinse the filter under running water. Do not use a paper filter at the same time as the permanent filter as this may lead to overflowing.

Your coffee maker is equipped with a flavour selector (h) (according to model):

This device enables you to obtain more strongly flavoured coffee, especially for 1, 2 or 3 cups (9).

Your coffee maker is equipped with a vacuum pot (according to model):

■ To keep the coffee hotter for longer, rinse the vacuum pot out with hot water before use (c).

The cover must be screwed tightly shut (clockwise). The pot can be filled with coffee and keeps it hot without further intervention.

To serve the coffee, press the button above the handle (10).

Your coffee maker with vacuum pot is equipped with an automatic stop system (depending on the model):

The appliance will stop once the water has finished running through.

Wait a few minutes before making another batch of coffee.

CLEANING

To dispose of the used grounds, lift the filter holder out of the coffee maker (11). Unplug the appliance. Do not clean the appliance while hot. Clean with a damp cloth or sponge. Never immerse the appliance in water or put it under running water.

The glass coffee pot, the cover, and the filter holder can be washed in the dishwasher.

To clean the stainless steel vacuum pot (depending on the model) thoroughly:

1. Put a dishwasher tablet into your stainless steel vacuum pot (only).
2. Completely fill the vacuum pot with boiling water.
3. Leave to work for 10 minutes.
4. Rinse with hot water three times.

DESCALING

	Cycles between descaling operations
	Without Duo Filter With Duo Filter
Soft water	60	120
Hard water	40	80

You may use:

Either a sachet of descaler diluted in 250ml of water, or 250 ml of white vinegar. Pour into the tank (b) and start the coffee maker (without coffee). Allow half the liquid to run into the coffee pot (c), then switch off. Leave to work for one hour. Restart the coffee maker to complete the run-through. Rinse the coffee maker by running it 2 or 3 times with 1 L of clean water.

The guarantee does not cover coffee makers that fail or work badly, due to scale.

STORING THE POWER CORD

The cord storage can be used to adjust the length of the power cord (12).
