Advantages of the Aroma Control coffee maker

Exclusive Flavor Release Technology

Releases the full aroma of the coffee through

a new brewing innovation

+ At the beginning of the brewing cycle, the Flavor Release mechanism remains closed so as to keep the hot water in contact with the ground coffee for a longer period of time and thus obtain the maximum flavor from your coffee.

+ After about 1 - 2 minutes of brewing, the coffee is released and flows into the coffee carafe.

The KRUPS exclusive Flavor Release Technology guarantees optimal contact between water and ground coffee and the ideal time for brewing, particularly for small quantities.

Thanks to the KRUPS exclusive technology, your coffee will have a fuller, richer aroma and à delicious taste.

The ‘Duofilter’ a double action anti- chlorine and anti-scale filter

The elements which go into the ‘Duofilter’ {active vegetable based carbon and anti-scale resin) comply with current food safety legislation. Its silver salt processing acts as an anti-bacteria agent, for consumer safety. This filter has been tested successfully by recognized laboratories.

The vegetable-based and non-pollutive filter can be disposed of as domestic waste

The anti-chlorine action of the filter will give the coffee more delicate flavor. Tap-water often contains amounts of chlorine which will hinder the flavor. The ‘Duo Filter’ eliminates the chlorine so that the smell and taste of the coffee are more perceptible

The anti-scale filter will prolong the working life of your coffee-machine and will result in less frequent need to decalcify.

“Stop ‘n Serve’ Feature

Lets you pour a cup or two while brewing. The automatic filter seal will allow you to remove the carafe for 20 seconds without dripping coffee onto the warming plate. The glass coffee carafe can also be used in a microwave oven

Note : KRUPS AromaControl will shut off automatically after 2 hours of heating for added safety.

Setting the time (model #180)

+ PIUg in the KRUPS “’AromaControl Time" Make sure the rotating selector switch (n) is in the “off” position:

The LCD display will be flashing intermittently.

This is your signal to set the digital clock.

+ Turn the selector switch to position (©) (n). Set the hours and minutes by pressing the “hand "min" buttons respectively. The time is now set.

Running with water only + Before first use, cycle the appliance once or

twice with water (without coffee) to help remove any factory sediment.

Fill the water tank with cold water (2), observing the water level indicator (3)

The water level indicator on your coffee carafe

corresponds to the water level indicator of the

water tank, measured in cups of water (3).

+ Set the control to the ‘on’ position to begin {position (i) for the #176, position (n) for the #180). The light will come on.

Please note: your AromaControl coffee

maker is fitted with a Flavor Release filter

holder (exclusive to KRUPS).

Remember: After about 1 - 2 minutes of

brewing, the filter holder allows the water to

flow into the coffee carafe. This steeping period allows for maximum flavor extraction from your coffee.

Inserting the “DuoFilter”

+ Remove the Duofilter (e) from its plastic bag. Rinse in tap water.

+ Open the hinged lid of the coffee maker (1) and remove the Duofilter holder (e1) (4)

+ Pivot the lower part of the holder and insert the Duofilter into its housing (5).

+ Replace the holder in the coffee maker and your machine is now ready for use (6).

Please note : A ring is on the top of the

holder to help you to remember when to

change the «Duofilter» (e) : place the upper part of the ring on the figure indicating which month you started using the Duofilter. the lower part of the ring will show you when you have to change it

Example : If the upper part is on 1 (January),

you will have to change it in 3 (March):

Filing the water chamber

+ Open the hinged lid (1). Using the glass carafe, pour in the desired quantity of cold

water (2). The water level indicator shows how much water you are filling into the container (3).

The amount of freshly brewed cotfee delivered after the brewing process will always be slightly less than the amount put into the water container. This is due to the minimum absorption of the water by the ground coffee. Therefore, it is recommended that you add a little extra water at the beginning so that you will have the number of cups you desire:

+ Replace the glass carafe on the warming plate with the lid in position

Putting in the ground coffee

+ Swing out the filter holder container (7).

+ Insert a no. 4 filter paper (1X4) or Gold Tone Filter in the filter holder. We recommend that you fold over the edges of the filter paper (8) to make it easier to insert.

You can purchase KRUPS size 4 paper filters

(#983) or KRUPS Aroma Control Gold Tone

Filter (#049) at your local KRUPS retailer or by

Calling the KRUPS Consumer Service

Department at 1-800-526-5377, 24 hours a

day, 7 days a week (US customers only).

+ Pour your ground coffee into the filter paper €)

We suggest using one level KRUPS measuring

scoop of ground cofee for each cup of robust

coffee. After using your KRUPS coffee maker several times, you can adjust the measure to suit your own taste.

+ Close the filter holder container, check that it is correctly engaged (10) and place the carafe with its cover on the warming plate.

+ Turn the machine ‘on’.

The indicator light will illuminate and your coffee will begin brewing after 1-2 minutes.

“Stop ‘n Serve” feature

The "Stop' n Serve” feature is KRUPS answer to the impatient coffee drinker's clamor for “a quick cup of coffeel” This device automatically stops the flow of brewed coffee through the filter cone if the glass carafe is removed from the warming plate during the brewing cycle. You have about 20 seconds between the removal of the carafe and its

being reinserted to pour one or two cups of coffee. The "Stop'n Serve” device closes off the filter cone so effectively that there is virtually no coffee-drip onto the waming plate. Once the carafe is replaced, the brewing cycle and the flow of coffee into the carafe are resumed.

If coffee does drip onto the warming plate after removal of the carafe, it is usually an indication that too much ground coffee has been placed into the paper filter. This causes the water that jets into the filter cone to overflow between the paper filter and the sides of the filter cone. The overflow carries coffee grounds that interfere with the snapshut action of the filter holder, thus allowing brewed coffee to continue to drip through.

If this blockage and subsequent dripping do occur, replace the glass carafe immediately and allow the {ull brewing cycle to run its course. Do not remove the filter until the brewing cycle is completed.

Preparing “wake-up” coffee (model #180)

This feature enables you to enjoy freshly brewed coffee at any pre-selected time within a 24-hour period

+ First set the digital clock (see “Setting the time”)

+ Turn the selector switch (n) to the “Prog” Setting. The insert coffee cup symbol will flash intermittently in the display area.

+ Set the hour and minutes in which you would like the brewing process to com- mence by pressing the “h” and “min” buttons respectively. “Wake-Up” time is now set.

+ Fillthe water chamber to the desired number of cups. Place the carafe back on the waming plate. Put in ground coffee.

+ Turn the selector switch (n) to the “Auto” setting. The insert coffee cup symbol will remain constant in the display, indicating that the coffee maker has been programmed

Atthe pre-programmed time, the indicator light will illuminate, indicating that the brewing process has begun.

Note : If the selector switch is left in the “auto” position, the coffee maker will turn itself on everyday at the pre-programmed time. If you do not wish for this to occur, tun the coffee maker to the “Off” position after each use.

Replacing the “DuoFilter"

eitis recommended to replace the ‘Duofilter’ at least once every 2 months. You can purchase the Duofilter (Model #472) at your local KRUPS retailer or by calling KRUPS Consumer Service Department at 1-800- 526-5377, 24 hours à day, 7 days a week {US customers only).

+ Only use drinking water with the Duofilter

+ To replace the Duofilter, see "Inserting the Duofilter” in the "Before First Use" section.

Decalcifying When to decalcify.

- Minerals found in water can clog the coffee maker or reduce its speed. You will know. when such a cleaning is necessary by an obvious slowdown in the brewing time. This extended time indicates that there is a calcium deposit in your coffee maker.

- Thanks to the anti-scale action of the ’Duofilter’ you will generally only need to descale every two to four months depending on the hardness level of your water.

+ Fill the carafe one quarter full of vinegar, then add cold tap water to the top. Pour the waterWinegar mixture into the reservoir opening,

+ Place the empty carafe on the warming plate and turn on the machine. After the water/ vinegar mixture has been cycled through, turn off the machine.

+ Rinse by cycling two or three more carafes of plain cold tap water.

+ Do not pour any liquid other than cold tap water with vinegar into water chamber when cleaning

Attention: Do not leave solution within

+ Always unplug the coffee maker before cleaning.

+ Remove the filter holder (11) and clean the filter holder, the carafe and carafe lid in a solution of hot water and mild liquid soap. These parts can also be placed in the upper level of your dishwasher for safe effective cleaning.

+ Never use scouring agents.
