English
English
Your machine is equipped with a filter holder which boasts three exclusive systems:
- One for the gradual tamping of the espresso ground coffee as the filter holder is being positioned (KTS "Krups Tamping System").
- Another is for ejecting the used grounds.
- The last is for using E.S.E. (Easy Serving Espresso) or soft pods. It is also removable, and so can be frequently cleaned to be maintained in perfect working order. For your safety, your filter holder is equipped with a locking system to keep it in place when the pressure rises.

3. TIPS
For an espresso with intense flavour, we recommend using freshly ground special espresso coffee which is ideal for the delicacy of this type of coffee, along with cups with a capacity not exceeding 50 ml. - Keep the espresso ground coffee in the refrigerator, in an air-tight container as it retains its flavour longer. ■ Do not fill your filter holder to the brim, but use the measuring spoon (1 tablespoon per cup). If you do not use the appliance for more than 5 days, rinse and drain the water tank. Before removing the water tank to fill or empty it, always turn the appliance off.
■ Always place the unit on a flat, stable, heat-resistant work surface. ■ To obtain an espresso at exactly the right temperature, we recommend that you preheat your cups. ■ To prolong the life of your appliance, we recommend you use a Claris Aqua Filter System F088 cartridge (accessory not included) and that you descale the appliance at regular intervals.
IMPORTANT!
Before using for the first time, after a prolonged period of inactivity or after descaling,
the appliance must be cleaned as described in paragraph 5: "BEFORE FIRST USE".
4. BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your espresso machine, clean all the accessories in soapy water and dry them.
If you are not using the Claris cartridge, please refer to the paragraph here below "RINSING OF YOUR APPLIANCE".
A. INSTALLING THE CLARIS CARTRIDGE (to be done every time the cartridge is replaced)
If you are using a Claris filter cartridge, please follow the procedure to fill it with water:
Screw the Claris filter into the bottom of the water tank. Fill the water tank with water and replace it (fig. 2 and 3). Turn the appliance on by pressing the "On / Off" button (fig. 4). Turn the switch to the "steam preheating" position. Once the light stops blinking, turn back the switch to the "off" position. Repeat this operation 2 more times. To make sure the Claris cartridge is full of water, place a container under the brewing head, turn the switch to the "coffee" position and make sure some water is running through. If not, repeat the above procedure. In this manner you can be sure that water is circulating well through the filter cartridge.
IMPORTANT:
This installation procedure must be carried out every time the cartridge is replaced.
The Claris cartridge needs to be replaced every 2 to 3 months if it is used daily.

PREHEATING THE ACCESSORIES
For the best results, we recommend that you preheat the accessories (filter holder and cups) without espresso ground coffee. To do so:
■ Fill the water tank and turn the machine on. (fig.1, 2, 3 and 4). ■ Put the filter holder in place, place the cups below. As soon as the appliance reaches the required temperature, the light stops flashing. ■ Turn the switch to the "coffee" position (fig.8). ■ When the cups are filled with hot water, turn the switch to the "off" position. (fig.9). ■ Remove the cups. ■ Unlock the filter holder: press "OPEN" while turning the filter holder to the left and remove it from the machine. (fig.10).
Note: When the appliance is hot, the espresso cups can be preheated on the cup warming plate.
WITH GROUND COFFEE
The type of coffee you choose will determine the strength and taste of your espresso. Always use espresso ground coffee. Do not use instant coffee, cafetiere coffee or filter coffee.
Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). During the preheating of the appliance, the light flashes. ■ Using the measuring spoon, place the espresso ground coffee in the filter holder: one spoon (full to the brim) per cup (fig.5). ■ Remove any excess espresso ground coffee from the edge of the filter.
Important: Do not tamp the coffee down in the filter holder. The coffee is automatically tamped using the KTS "Krups Tamping System".
■ Insert the filter holder in the device by turning it to the right as far as it will go, up to the stop (fig.7). ■ Put one or two cups under the filter holder (fig.8).
As soon as the appliance reaches the required temperature, the light stops flashing.
■ Turn the switch to the "coffee" position (fig.8). ■ When you have the desired amount of coffee, turn the switch to the "off" position (fig.9). ■ Unlock the filter holder: press "OPEN" while turning the filter holder to the left and remove it from the machine (fig. 10).
■ Remove the used espresso coffee grounds using the ejection system by pressing the "EJECT" button located between the two coffee outlet nozzles (fig.11). Wash the filter holder under running water, pressing "EJECT" to eliminate the remnants of grounds.
The filter holder now can be filled again to prepare other espressos.
WITH AN "E.S.E." ESPRESSO POD
"ESE" for "Easy Serving Espresso" is a packaged pod (44 mm diameter) of 7g of selected coffee, ground and compacted between two paper filters, specially designed to make Italian style ristretto (tight) espressos.
This system allows immediate, simple, clean and comfortable use of your machine.
■ Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). During the pre-heating phase, the indicator lamp will flash. ■ Tear the excess paper off the pod, put the E.S.E. pod in the filter holder, with the red writing facing down (fig.6). Be sure to place all the paper inside the filter holder, otherwise there might be leaks. ■ If the pod is not positioned correctly, the result in the cup will not be satisfactory. ■ Never use two pods together. ■ Then, follow steps of pictures 7 to 11.
WITH A SOFT POD
Your machine is also compatible with soft pods (usually 60 mm in diameter). Given that this kind of pod is not specifically designed for espresso machines, you will get a less full-bodied espresso than with an E.S.E. pod.
■ Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). During the pre-heating phase, the indicator lamp will flash.
■ Place a soft pod in the filter holder. Never use two pods together. If the pod is not positioned correctly, the result in the cup will not be satisfactory. ■ Then, follow steps of pictures 7 to 11.
6. STEAM FUNCTION
Steam is used to foam up milk (for example to make a cappuccino or a cafe latte) thanks to the cappuccino accessory.
To produce steam, the pump works by emitting an intermittent noise.
After using the steam function, the appliance cools automatically by pumping cold water through the heating system. During the pumping cycles, the excess steam in the heating system is released with the hot water into the drip tray. The steam and noise that accompany this phase are important for cooling the appliance.
Warning: during and after using the appliance, the metal parts of the steam nozzle can become very hot.
USING THE STEAM NOZZLE TO FROTH MILK
■ Fill the water tank and turn the machine on (fig. 1, 2, 3 and 4). ■ Turn the switch to the "steam preheating" position. The indicator lamp flashes (fig.12). ■ Move the steam nozzle towards the outside of the appliance. ■ Pour 60 to 100ml of fresh skimmed, semi skimmed or whole milk in a small container of about 1/2 litre and which can pass under the steam nozzle. The milk and its container should be quite cold. ■ We recommend that you use pasteurised or UHT milk and that you avoid using unpasteurised milk. As soon as the indicator lamp stops blinking, plunge the steam nozzle into the milk. ■ Turn the switch to the "steam" position (fig. 13).
For a good result, hold the nozzle towards the bottom of the container for about 25 seconds while the milk heats (without however touching the bottom of the container). Then, bring the container down gradually so that the nozzle moves up towards the surface (without ever coming out of the milk) (fig.14). ■ Once the froth has formed, turn the switch to the "stop" position (fig.15). The appliance will now automatically cool itself by launching 3 intermittent pumping cycles. Once this automatic operation is complete, you can make a coffee.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent the steam nozzle holes from being clogged, the milk foam must not reach the black plastic upper part.
It is important to clean the steam nozzle after each use to prevent the milk from drying on the inside of the nozzle. To do so:
■ Place the steam nozzle in a container with water and repeat the milk frothing operation for 30 seconds.
ATTENTION!
The steam nozzle is still hot!
7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
■ Do not wash your espresso machine accessories in the dishwasher.
CLEANING OF THE APPLIANCE
■ Unplug the power supply before cleaning and let the appliance cool down. ■ Clean the outside of the appliance from time to time with a damp cloth. After use, the water tank must be emptied. ■ Rinse inside the tank regularly. ■ When a thin white layer starts to form in the tank, carry out a descaling operation (see paragraph 9 "DESCALING").
CLEANING OF THE DRIP TRAY
The drip tray must be emptied after each time the appliance is used. Lift up slightly and remove it from the appliance.
If multiple espressos are prepared one after the other, it should be emptied from time to time (every 7 to 8 espressos approximately) (fig.19 and 20). The presence of water is normal and is not the sign of a leak. If necessary, clean the drip tray and its grid with water and a little gentle washing-up liquid, rinse and dry. When reassembling the components, make sure everything is in the right place.
CLEANING OF THE PERCOLATION HEAD AND FILTER HOLDER
■ They must be cleaned after each use. Simply wipe a damp cloth over the percolation head (fig. 21) and clean the filter holder under running water and use a small amount of gentle washing-up liquid. ■ Do not use alcohol or solvent-based cleaning products. For best results, you can activate the "EJECT" button several times during rinsing. We recommend that you shake the filter holder thoroughly in order to remove all the water. ■ Rinse and dry. ■ When not using your espresso coffee maker, do not leave the filter holder on it, in order to prevent wear to the seal.
For more thorough cleaning, the filter holder can be dismantled:
■ You can remove the black plastic part where the coffee outlets and the "EJECT" button are to be found: turn it to the left and pull sharply (fig. 22).
■ Clean the various components under running water and a little gentle washing-up liquid. - Rinse and dry. ■ Replace the black plastic part in the metal holder, turn it to the right until the two arrows on each component line up. If the percolation head is heavily clogged up, unscrew the grid using a screw-driver, clean it and refit it, pressing down firmly (fig.23).
CLEANING OF THE FROTHING NOZZLE
This accessory consists of 2 parts: one part which is the plastic support and the other which is the metal protection cylinder. ■ Before cleaning, unlock the nozzle from the articulated arm by turning it to the left (fig.16, 16.2). ■ Then slide the metal cylinder along the plastic support (fig.16.3). ■ Clean these two parts with tap water and some mild washing-up liquid (fig.17). ■ Rinse and dry. ■ Once the parts have been properly cleaned, put the metal cylinder back on the support. ■ Make sure that you don't damage the silicone seal which makes the nozzle watertight (fig.16.3). ■ Insert the nozzle on the articulated arm then lock to the right (fig.18.1, 18.2).
8. DESCALING
The guarantee does not cover appliances which become faulty because the descaling operations have not been carried out regularly.
Descale your espresso maker regularly using white vinegar or a packet of citric or sulphamic acid which you can buy in most hardware stores.
We recommend that you use the Krups descaling accessory, reference F054, available in Krups authorized service centres. In addition to two descaling sachets, this accessory includes a water hardness tape tester to assess the required frequency with which your appliance should be descaled, in normal use. The amount of scale depends on the hardness of the water but also the level of use. The frequency of descaling given by the F054 accessory is therefore purely indicative. However, you can refer to the following table:
| DESCALING FREQUENCY | |||
| Ave. number coffees per week | Soft water (<19 th ) | Hard water (19-30 th ) | Very hard water (>30 th ) |
| Less than 7 Once a year Every 8 months Every 6 months | |||
| From 7 to 20 Every 4 months Every 3 months Every 2 months | |||
| Over 20 Every 3 months Every 2 months Every month | |||
If in doubt, it is recommended to descale every month.
DESCALING OF THE STEAM AND COFFEE CIRCUIT
■ Empty the tank and put it back in place. If your product is equipped with our Claris - Aqua Filter System cartridge F088, please remove this cartridge before the descaling operation. Fill the tank with a mixture composed of three parts water for one part white vinegar or a mixture of 1/2 litre of water and a packet of citric or sulphamic acid available in the shops. ■ Insert the filter holder (without espresso ground coffee) into the appliance and lock it by turning it to the right as far as it will go. ■ Place a container under the steam nozzle. ■ Press the "on-off" button. - Immediately turn the switch to the "steam" position (without stopping at the "steam preheating" position). ■ Let the mixture run through the nozzle until steam appears. ■ Turn the switch back to the "stop" position
■ Place a container of sufficient volume under the filter holder. ■ Once the light stops blinking, turn the switch to the "coffee" position and let half of the mixture run through. ■ Turn the machine off using the "on off" button and leave the switch on the coffee position. ■ After 15 minutes, turn the machine back on. ■ Let the rest of the water run through. ■ Turn the switch to the "stop" position.
RINSING
IMPORTANT!
After descaling, perform 2-3 rinsing operations with clear water (without espresso ground coffee), as described in paragraph 5 "using for the first time".
Remember to rinse the steam nozzle by following the instructions below:
■ Place a container under the steam nozzle. ■ Press the "on-off" button. - Immediately turn the switch to the "steam" position (without stopping at the "steam preheating" position). ■ Let the water run through the nozzle until steam appears. ■ Turn the switch back to the "stop" position.
The appliance is descaled and ready to be used again.
