Description Lid Water Tank Pivoting filter holder Flavor Release Technology holder Thermal coffee carafe with lid Thermal carafe base Water level indicator On/Off indicator switch (#197) Cord storage Timer Models (#199 & #229) Hour setting control Minute setting control On/Off Indicator light Rotating selector switch The benefits of the AromaControl Therm 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 thus guarantees you 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 a delicious taste. - Lid for thermal coffee carafe When the thermal coffee carafe is inserted in the coffee maker, the middle of the lid retracts to let the coffee filter through while the lid remains tightly screwed on the carafe to retain heat. When the brewing process is complete, the specially designed sealing system keeps coffee fresh and warm for up to five hours. To pour your freshly brewed coffee, the lid only needs to be turned a half of a revolution counterclockwise, not removed. ‘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 thermal carafe base. Note: KRUPS AromaControl will shut off automatically after the brewing is complete for added safety. Before first use Setting the time (models 199 & 229)

• Plug in the KRUPS “AromaControl Therm Time”. Make sure the rotating selector (m) switch 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 (m). Set the hours and minutes by pressing the “h” and “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). The water level indicator (g) of the water tank is measured in cups of water.
• Turn the machine ‘on’ to begin (position (h) for #197, position (m) for #199 & #229). The indicator light will illuminate. 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. Preparing Coffee Filling the water chamber

• Open the hinged lid (1). Using the thermal carafe, pour in the desired quantity of cold water (2). The water level indicator (g) shows how much water you are filling into the container. The amount of freshly brewed coffee 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.
• Close the thermal coffee carafe lid by twisting it tightly to the right (3).
• Replace the thermal carafe on the thermal carafe base with the lid (4). it is correctly engaged (8) and make sure the carafe with its cover closed tightly is on the thermal carafe base (4).
• Turn the machine ‘on’ to begin (position (h) for #197, position (m) for #199 & #229). The indicator light will illuminate and your coffee will begin brewing.
• To serve, remove carafe and twist lid counterclockwise half of a revolution and begin to pour (9). “Stop ‘n Serve” feature The “Stop ’n Serve” feature is KRUPS answer to the impatient coffee drinker’s clamor for “a quick cup of coffee!” This device automatically stops the flow of brewed coffee through the filter cone if the thermal carafe is removed from the thermal carafe base 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 thermal carafe base. Once the carafe is replaced, the brewing cycle and the flow of coffee into the carafe are resumed. Putting in the ground coffee
• Swing out the filter holder container (5).
• 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 (6) to make it easier to insert. You can purchase KRUPS size 4 paper filters (#983) or KRUPS AromaControl 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 (7). 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

If coffee does drip onto the thermal carafe base 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 carafe immediately and allow the full brewing cycle to run its course. Do not remove the filter until the brewing cycle is completed. Preparing “wake-up” coffee (model #199 and #229) 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 (m) 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 commence by pressing the “h” and “min” buttons respectively. “Wake-Up” time is now set.
• Fill the water chamber to the desired number of cups. Place the carafe back on its base. Put in ground coffee. Turn the selector switch (m) to the “Auto” setting. The insert coffee cup symbol will remain constant in display, indicating that the coffee maker has been programmed. At the 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, turn the coffee maker to the “off” position after each use. Maintenance Decalcifying When to decaclicfy: - 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. - You will generally only need to descale every two to four months depending on the hardness level of your water. To decalcify:
• Fill the carafe one quarter full of vinegar, then add cold tap water to the top. Pour the water/vinegar mixture into the reservoir opening (2).
• Place the empty carafe on the thermal carafe base 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 reach of children. Cleaning
• Always unplug the coffee maker before cleaning.
• Your coffee maker and thermal coffee carafe must only be cleaned with a damp cloth or sponge.
• Carefully place some mild liquid soap and warm water in the carafe and gently shake. Stains can be removed with a soft brush.
• Never clean the thermal coffee carafe with hard objects: scratches on the glass could break the carafe.
• Remove the filter holder (10) and clean the filter holder 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.
• Never immerse the appliance itself in water or any other liquid. To clean, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
• Never use a cloth to clean the inside of the water chamber, as this might leave remnants or deposits in the chamber. Simply rinse with cold water, periodically. Accessories .
